Real somaliland anon here
We took a big loss on Friday and was wondering if K could offer military advice or tips to somaliland (know some high top officials) . Just to let you know somaliland and Somalia are under sanctions so plz take that into account
What are some tactics that would go a long way for 3rd world military
I've often wondered why these places don't just establish a self-governing Boer ethnostate within themselves, like a huge Orania. They provide political cover for the sole white ethnostate in the world and the Boers provide technical knowledge, training, and maybe even officers. It wouldn't even need to be Boer, they could attract whites from abroad like Saudi Arabia does with its oil towns
Sorry to hijack your thread but I was thinking about posting that independently and I figure it'll get more attention here
Don’t think any white nationalists wanna live anywhere near Somalia imo . I feel like we are the most hated ethnicity in right wing political circles
even the africans I know call somalis the gypsies of africa so yeah
I wonder why man
Seriously, do you ever wonder why out of all and no matter where they go Somalians end up the most despised?
Why the fuck would Boers or anyone else want to form a white ethnostate or whatever in Somaliland or anywhere else in Africa? If the goal is to leave Southern Africa then there's other places to try to go to.
If they get to form their own self contained semi-state away from the locals, that's a strong incentive
>I feel like we are the most hated ethnicity in right wing political circles
This is true, but I could see them working out a deal. Also my idea isn't really Somalia specific, I'm wondering why any number of these african states haven't tried it
This is exactly what Georgia tried to do, but then the war happened and all South Africans disappeared.
Where do you find all these magical Boers? A retirement home in Swindon?
>was wondering if K could offer military advice or tips to somaliland (know some high top officials)
Dude, what the genuine fuck how desperate are you guys?
At least tell what's the state of Somaliland military and what problems do you have.
3rd world and most of our military tech is old stuff from world war 2 that Soviet’s gave us during cold wars
I just wan some insights or PrepHole autism at work
"3rd world" is a very vague term, it can mean anything from a million man army brim full of cold war armor like NK to scattered gangs of black retards armed with rusty machetes and pipe guns.
Nonetheless, here is a general advice any military should follow – always plan combat around your biggest guns.
If you have any artillery go balls deep into it, focus your resources on procuring as much ammo as you can, buy drones and comms for them, buy tablets and load the best ballistic calculators you can find for them, use your infantry to bait enemy into position where your artillery can strike them, that kind of stuff.
If best you can get are RPGs or heavy machine guns – focus on ambushes, make it into positions where you can cover as much of enemy troops and vehicles with fire and fuck off, mine the roads to make enemy stop at spots where you can shower them with bullets with zero to no retaliation, etc.
North Korea is second world retard. It also doesn't mean anything about economics. It just happens that Third World nations are poor compared to 1st world.
Speed. Big chariot energy is useful. As long as mines don’t figure in, you can use trucks to deliver troops to battle quickly. Leave a sign that says “get off the truck!” Where you want them to dismount.
Patton’s “War As I Knew It” has lots of WWII tactics.
Sadly I don't know but I wish you the best of luck
Launch a kamikaze boat to hit a target further away on the Puntland coastline. Or anything else to distract them from their main center of attention.
Launch attacks on other parts of the border. Make gains in Y while they make gains in X. When you focus on one contentious spot, the losing side has no leverage.
Strategically withdraw from areas while leaving mines or IED booby-traps for incoming offensive forces.
Like a port?
And how would a kamikaze boat work ? Do u mean a suicide attack
>Launch attacks on other parts of the border. Make gains in Y while they make gains in X. When you focus on one contentious spot, the losing side has no leverage.
More technological advice anon don’t think higher ups will take kindly to military strategy.
>Strategically withdraw from areas while leaving mines or IED booby-traps for incoming offensive forces.
arms embargo anon
Unless they are easy to procure
What the fuck does an arms embargo have to do with making IEDs? If that's not even possible, then there's LITERALLY no advice that would work.
Mines should be plenty too. There's ragtag rebels getting their hands on weapons on every continent, but Somaliland with far more resources can't? They can't buy second-hand or make their own arms?
Whether or not they withdraw, they need to attack another spot that's unguarded on the Puntland border. Catch them by surprise and force Puntland to divide its attention.
>if K could offer military advice or tips to somaliland
Federation
buy lot of drones from China, use them for recon and harrasing purpose, but mainly the latter. Try experimenting combined arms attack with drones, utilizing them to kill pinned enemies (which should've been mortars and lighter artillery role) either in the attack or in defense, that works well with Ukraine.

If UN sees us bypassing sanctions we get more
Any guides on drones for that anon and what drone would you recommend
>If UN sees us bypassing sanctions we get more
it depends on whether you can get support from a permanent member of the Secutity Counsil or not. What thing Somaliland can offer which the united Somalia wouldn't?
>If UN sees us bypassing sanctions we get more
IEDs can be made at home with commercial materials. Arms embargoes have zero effect on that.
Insurgents who have nothing can make IEDs but Somaliland can't? You make no sense.
They are insurgents and are recognized as such we are trying to become a legitimate state
How would we make them armed
Not likely
We already do the thing with using artillery with drones but have trouble using them as weapons like Ukrainians do
I mean mass producing drones at acceptable quality would be a hurdle, can't you use third parties channel to bypass embargoes and buy stuff from China? Even ukraine buy drones from China.
>Even ukraine buy drones from China.
tbh they buy them through proxies for a markup and hack the firmware on arrival and even that is at the risk of drying out. Plus it's should be hard to buy a drone when there's such a fuck huge demand is up already.
Dji drones are a solid civilian accessible drone
How do you drop munitions from them instead of using them as kamikazes since they are expensive
In ukraine they the dropper to the controls of the backight
*wire the dropper
Any guides on this or papers I can send
I don't know
I think the Ukrainians add or modify a motorized part to them so you have a claw or basket that can hold explosives. Grenade hung on a string can provide better accuracy as the grenade will always want to return to straight down below the drone in position giving you a better chance of knowing where it will go.
How do you drop grenades while pulling string simultaneously
I believe they use mortar shells that activate when the pressure switch is struck.
At the start they often pulled the pin and put them in glasses or pipe pieces that get destroyed/fall off when the grenade is dropped.
The simplest way is to pull the ring from a grenade and stick it into a glass cup so that the lever is pressed by the cup walls. When it falls down glass breaks, level gets depressed, grenade goes boom
afaik there's an accessory for them to drop wedding rings and shit that, supposedly, works by a sensor detecting a flashlight on the copter
everyone worked out their drop systems from that point I think
Thx I will look into it
Hello Somaliland Anon, great to see you. Do you think there is an option to mount a foreign volunteer legion for Somaliland ?
>On 1 July 2020, Somaliland and Taiwan signed an agreement to set up representative offices to promote cooperation between the two countries.[215] Cooperation between the two polities on education, maritime security, and medicine began in 2009, and Taiwanese staff entered Somaliland in February 2020 to prepare for the representative office.[216] As of 2023, Taiwan's Ministry of Foreign Affairs refers to Somaliland as a country.[58]
oh, so you can't really appeal to China to help you to mediate the conflict, so as a western tool for sewing instability in the region your destiny is going to be a perpetual war.
Start from changes in politics, then invite China, offer them a naval base for mediation on terms more or less favourable for Somaliland
Its sowing Chink. Not sewing. Learn English so when we kill your family you understand our jokes

Who actually falls for this kind of LARPing?
>We took a big loss on Friday
You are lying, there was no big loss on Friday, only a very small base hardly worth mentioning. This is simply another pathetic attempt by you shitters to fluff up a nothingburger for cheap propaganda.
I have connections in govt and know what im talking about lol
Seems very simple but idk how gernades work so thx for insight
Does glass need to fit the diameter of the gernades , seems like something we could 3d print
Im looking to improve and not get caught up by mistakes stop letting your 68 iq get in way wara
There should be a fuckton of guides on youtube at this point. Or you can just serf telegram and directly contact someone who does this shit, better look at niche low followers channels for that though.

These copters won't win war for you, they are just a terror tool to make the enemy dig in and look up more often, and to destroy damaged and abandoned hardware. The losses of personnel are negligible.
Survivability of the drones themselves is also not great, I heard it is 3 to 5 sorties in average, so you need an established supply to make them viable even for small terror stuff.
>Survivability of the drones themselves is also not great, I heard it is 3 to 5 sorties in average, so you need an established supply to make them viable even for small terror stuff.
That's against russians who have every millimeter of frontline covered with EW and air defense systems. There shouldn't be so much expenditure against ak niggs.
But yes, it's not a instant win weapon, copters are just a force multiplier that you need to learn how to use first. Biggest problem with african armies is that they are full of severely retarded morons who don't know in the slightest what the fuck are they doing, solving this problem is enough for small states like Rwanda or Botswana to own everyone around them.
> These small arms won't win war for you, they are just an empowering to make your infantry going for objectives, and took potshot at enemies to boost morale. The losses of personnel are negligible.
not comparable at all
>Real somaliland anon here
hire some ex-special ops guys from the US or any western nation. get them to train your troops. getting your people trained to a higher standard will help a lot, and not cost too much. it will take time, though.
send Ukraine a polite, official message and ask what they did in the early days of the invasion.
call a ceasefire and start negotiations with your enemies. not to actually make peace, but to stall them while you rebuild. tell your negotiators to sound reasonable but make excuses. ask Iran about it, they've done it to the US for nearly 50 years.
Due to Ukraine, a lot of nations are refitting their militaries with better gear. there may be some used stuff coming on the market, cheap. ask around. It won't be high quality, but even some shitty old T-72s would help you.
find a good spot to defend and dig in. it's a lot easier to defend than attack; see what's happening in Ukraine. It may help to look up OSINT reports on what the Russians are doing and simply do that. defense alone doesn't win wars, but it will buy you time and, if successful, make the enemy very unhappy. use the time to build your forces.
in the long term, you have two big problems: 1. military quality and 2. diplomatic status. Both of these will take time to resolve. Getting some western trainers -- US special ops if you can -- to train up your military will help a lot. better gear will help a lot too. it doesn't even have to be the latest stuff. the diplomatic issue is more difficult and will take longer to resolve. basically, make some contacts with the West and explain the situation -- somalia's all fucked up and somaliland wants to be a western-aligned democracy. consider reaching out to the British. Study how South Sudan gained independence. The situation isn't well understood over here, and Somaliland's situation is very sympathetic. I can assure you the US doesn't want to support Somali but needs to, because we need their help to stomp on islamists and pirates.
How do I find these men and what would cost be
So go for copters then
>How do I find these men and what would cost be
re: cost, I'm afraid I don't know.
re: finding them, you'll have to think outside the box. the various governments wouldn't want them to work for you, but they probably won't care. literally google some veteran's groups, contact them, and ask if anyone wants a job. you'll get a lot of nos, so perseverance is key.
You might have more luck with French veterans, since they're heavily involved in Africa (western africa, but still....)
hell, worst case, just send someone over to Djibouti and talk to the people at Camp Lemonnier (next to Djibouti–Ambouli International Airport in Djibouti City) It's full of SOF people, and not just americans. you'll have to do it quietly, though.
consider buying drones and use them the way Ukraine is. the information is easily available and I don't think cheap amazon drones are embargoed. it won't win the war, but it'll help.
IED's can be homemade. there's lots of stuff you can do with fertilizer.
re: tactics -- I don't know if this is already being done, but some hit an run raids in the enemy's rear area would piss them off quite a bit. I'll bet your people would enjoy themselves as well.
>K could offer military advice or tips
I suggest developing 2-300 years of martial tradition and then you should fight multiple world ending wars while developing a large industrial base to produce equipment.
If you are in serious need of help, talk to Eeben Barlow. He runs Executive Outcomes, and he might be able to help you guys.
https://www.executiveoutcomes.com/
https://za.linkedin.com/in/eeben-barlow-aa075370
Even if he can't help, he will have connections to people who probably can.
Would this be expensive like multi million dollar contract
Most likely. You would be paying for the services of a tier-1 PMC.
Given that the US is providing kinetic support to Somalia, I wouldn't count on any western PMC taking the contract.
Probably. But can you put a price tag on your freedom and sovereignty?
Except Somaliland's whole thing is attempting to prevent anyone else from having freedom and sovereignty.
Seek the outcome that is best for the people. Popular support is what decides modern wars, more than the physical fighting.
Don't worry anon most of the Somalia "news" is lies and rumors on Twitter, vast majority of the claims have been debunked. Somaliland lost a couple of small mainly uninhabited bases close to Lascanood but it's far from a route. Only about 10 casualties iirc
Focus on getting your logistics in order, 99% of War is getting the right people and the right stuff in the right place at the right time. Soldiers will fight better if they're well rested and well supplied.
After that, disrupt the enemy's command and lines of communication, they can't do anything if they're not able to organize their forces.
dont worry, i have 800 hours in HOI4.
are you a high ranking officer?
Dont focus on explosives like IEDs, focus on marksmanship.
Put emphasis on the need of training with magnifying optics (both shooting and zeroing). Even an alibaba “acog” will get you far if that’s all that is available. Invest in some higher end optics for the most skilled marksmen and most straight shooting rifles.
Get tons of FPV drones as an Air Force, diy them into kamikazi munitions. Use RPG7 warheads on the anti-armored-vehicle ones and frag grenades for the other.
Train RPG users how to range-estimate and use the sights, if possible get PGO-7 scopes for them.
Get tons of tourniquets and chest-seals and get soldiers training on how to use them.
Get 20 or so guys to make shitloads of accounts online shilling your cause on Twitter, Reddit etc for funding; basically no one even knows this war is happening outside of Africa.
There’s an entire unit in Ukraine for example that’s funded by one guy that’s killed hundreds of guys and destroyed at least tens of armored vehicles (Army of drones).
Use armbands to identify friend and foe.
Treat POWs well, make tons of propaganda about how well you’re treating them. If they do the same in return then things are better for everyone, if not it’ll be a massive PR win for you.
Don’t head on assault positions, use FPV drones to target logistics and transports to and from enemy positions to weaken them before taking them.
>chest-seals
Apply directly on the hole of the punctured lung and if there is a exit wound there too yes? And the needle 2 ribs under the shoulder bone thing while avoiding the heart if explosion has done stuff to the lung idk
What, are you some fucking somaliland general or something?
Would be fucking hilarious if you were though.

Genuinely, the most important thing is to make sure your soldiers are:
a) motivated - (see well fed)
b) trained on their weapons
c) capable of thinking and understanding
In that order. That's more important than any single weapon or tactic.
If soldiers don't care they won't fight hard, they'll retreat easily, and they won't attack forcefully enough when needed. They need to actually believe in and care about what they're fighting for, not simply being forced/baited with threats punishment.
Weapons knowledge is self explanatory. make sure they can hit targets and they don't just fucking hip fire like so many Ooga Boogas do.
The last one may be the hardest, but your soldiers (or tbh officers, because I'm sure most somalis are chronically retarded) need to understand how they fit into a battle plan, what their goal is, and how their goal is tied to the overall objective. Linked to this is COMMUNICATION-- make sure all your units can communicate all the time, and ideally in an encrypted or coded way. This is so units can respond to help neighbouring units, as well as being warned of threats coming in.
I can give some advice on tactics or weapons, but I'd need to know what specific goals you're trying to achieve (defending a town, attacking somewhere, attriting the enemy, etc)
Hey would you be willing to write a guide or links to proper stuff then I could translate it to Somali
To write a guide I'd need to know specifics of what's going on/what needs guiding. I understand if you can't/don't want to provide details though.
As for 'proper' stuff, there's a lot of US army field manuals that are available online and give good info. Some that may be of interest are:
FM 3-90: Tactics -- This gives a good overview on attacks, defence, and maneuvre. It's 480 pages so maybe just focus on chapters 8-12 and 19, if you're on the defensive.
FM 3-98: Reconnaissance and Security Operations -- Probably just translate chapters 2 and 4 for recon stuff; proper intelligence is super super important.
FM 7-0: Training -- Haven't read it but it's only ~100 pages so you should skim it and see if there's anything useful
The manuals are long but there's some very good stuff in them. Try to ignore the dense theoretical stuff and focus on the descriptions of how units behave in battle.
I'd also recommend looking at all the Army Techniques Publications on the Army Publishing Directorate website. For example, ATP 3-21.10 describes in detail everything about how infantry companies work. There might be some stuff in there to help your army figure out how to organise itself
>Real somaliland anon here
Prove it
start a general on 4chan how somaliland is fighting globohomo
Fresh reminder that both sides are Muslim morons that chop the clits off their little girls. There are no good guys here.
It would be really helpful to have some info on what Puntland is using. Dismounted infantry, technicals, APCs etc. From what I have seen they are at an artillery disadvantage so what are their tactics? Infantry infiltration, vehicle based assault, night fighting?
US spec ops are probably way out of their budget. That money would be better spent on veterans from poorer countries with decent militaries. Philippines, Pakistan, India, Rwanda etc. A logistics or drone officer would be best. Look really closely at the Myanmar experience as this is much more comparable than Ukraine. The opposition there has set up an impressive gunsmithing industry under far worse circumstances. Homemade guns might not be the best they could be a god send for extra conscripts and older men stationed to defensive positions. This is probably not culturally possible but enlisting women would increase manpower. A second best option is to employ women in a cottage armaments industry. I have heard in Myanmar of the fighters families melting down scrap metal to make simple bullets and guns.
It looks like normal life is still going on in Somaliland so a lot of these measures would be too extreme. But starting to build the weapons industry and mobilization system is key.
Drones should also be doable. Even if sanctions get in the way you can probably purchase individual parts and then finish assemble at home.
Politically, cozy up to Ethiopia offering to be a port which is less close to Tigray than Djibouti is. Also becoming a Saudi or Emerati client could be a good idea. A ceasefire would be a good idea but you should get some victories or at least stabilization first to avoid losing face.
But most of all implementing some sort of affirmative action for minority clans is key. Puntland would not have made this sort of progress if there was not some local support. This is an issue that only your government can solve.
THE GIBS MUST FLOW!
this is a troll thread. somalilandanon's last thread was this one
.
My mad max larp plan is to get a pickup truck + mortar + spotter drone so that shoot and scoot can be done with everyone in the same vehicle for easy coordination, it'd probably work pretty well as an african militia larp plan too.
I would go to PrepHole for drone info.
I would not recommend to use FPV suicide drones as Ukies do, unless really necessary. I assume it's going to be difficult to get new drones in that shit hole.
Best options are:
>drones
>anti tank weapons
>snipers
>night vision
morons are not welcome here, go get your aids filled ass out of there you filthy moron. Fuck you and you somalishit crap. Nobody cares got it?
