another shiat in the making..no wonder why mas cannot make a sustainable profit..those 737 NGs were meant to replace the current 737 400s..the old 737-4 only fly to southeast asia..while the 737-8 is even used to fly until japan..means it covers more area..and the proposal to make it as a military aircraft is a joke..go make a new order la..then whats the purpose of mas making orders until about 40 aircraft?..to put inside the hangar?..of course to replace the current 737-4..and to fly it to make profit..

this is just a proposal, marhalim abas is a defence writer.
but his idea is good by using 737,A320 as platform for AEW, it has been done by other country.
TUDM has the experience operating such craft, but it is not really easy to obtain wedge-tail system from the US,
for me it is better to obtain EADS fitted on CASA or E2D.

dont get me wrong, AEW is vital for our air force and I believe they will come with package with the MMRCA program!
