I prefer Malaysia get Challenger2. or t-90

Actually, how old is the Leo 2 acquired by SG and Indons?

But those add-on armor already made it heavier. Maybe its purpose as mobile fort for urban warfare..

Yep, they buy cheap, but they have to bear the cost for refurbish, installing new system and etc.
Luckily they can save a lot of money by doing it in house.

raptor? the US 1 ar?

have anti-RPG slat armor on engine deck and rear turret

Nice looking rifle.

Where's the fire/safe selector though?

i heard SG tankers trained in israel. true?

Ah, I see.

Is it semi auto only or does it have a progressive trigger like the Styer Aug?

to be frank, the French package is the best to date!

and the Hornet procurement will be for political reason!

These happen even with Russian, Brit and German.

Not quite true. I recalled this happened before when we bought AMRAAM, they safekeep it in Guam or somewhere, both RSAF and ours. Something about not introducing advanced weapon into the region unless someone else introduce it first. They delivered it only after we bought Su-30MKM with Russian BVR missile. This were discussed before in the old gempurwira forum.

Taiwan takes delivery of 200 AIM-120 AMRAAM missiles

The weapons had been ordered in 2000 but were stocked in the US in order not to upset the arms balance between China and Taiwan.

On Tuesday September 21st, two RoCAF F-16 block 20 aircraft took off from Hualien AB for their first training flight with the missiles. Up til now, Taiwanese pilots could only train with the missiles in the US.

The deal had been approved by the US back in 2000, but Washington would not deliver the weapons unless Taiwan faced a serious threat. After Chinese Su-30 aircraft test-fired the Russian AA-12 missiles, the US agreed to deliver the missiles.

that is due to China and US political thing.
what about local here?
perhaps we should armed up more weapon on the MKM.

In view of neighboring Malaysia upgrading its MiG-29s allowing integration of the Vympel R-77 AR-homing AAM, Singapore acquired about 100 AIM-120 missiles. Previous requests for the AIM-120 by Singapore and other countries in the region were turned down by the US government until a similar system was introduced in the region. It is understood that the AIM-120 misseles are stocked in the US, and will only be shipped to Singapore when the state is threatened. The latest reports confirm these AMRAAM missiles being in-country.
