Of course they will!

this is a really advance Combat Search and Rescue helicopter,
with a lot of censor, weapon and heavy plating for protection.

haha of course, but this is badass too

why would you attach minigun to that?
since it is not support fire heli minigun seems redundant

because it will look this ohsem



btw
This heli can do a fire mission or fire support, they come with rocket pods and other weapon system!

EUROCOPTER: EC725 Gun Firing Campaign

If the rounds don't get the baddies... the rain of hot casings will

Weak 5.56MM

the volume and weight of ammo needed to support a minigun makes it impractical for a CSAR helo

1000 rounds vs 100 rounds,the target is probably as dead as he can be

plus CSAR helos would never go in alone,they would have escorts that can take care of the enemy

btw,im pretty sure raining hot casings on your enemy violates some kind of convention

Early in the morning of Friday 30 November 2012 an intruder overwhelmed a duty member onboard a patrol boat alongside HMAS Coonawarra.

The intruder overpowered the duty member, accessed the vessel’s armoury and removed a number of weapons. The person then departed the vessel with the weapons.

The incident was reported to NT Police. Defence is now working in conjunction with police in the conduct of their investigation.

Darwin navy intruder had inside knowledge
By Andrea Hayward | 30 November 2012 Friday | 7:55PM

AN armed intruder who breached national security, assaulted a sailor and stole weapons from a Darwin naval base appears to have an intimate knowledge of defence procedures, police say.

Fourteen weapons were stolen early on Friday morning when the assailant, wearing a balaclava and military clothing, boarded the Armidale-class patrol boat Bathurst, which was moored at HMAS Coonawarra near the city centre.

They overpowered a duty sailor before tying him up with cable ties and raiding the armoury on board the patrol boat.

Navy chief Vice Admiral Ray Griggs has ordered an investigation of Australia's fleet of ships and bases around the country in response to what he described as a serious theft.

"There is an investigation under way from a police perspective but I have also initiated a review of security on board our ships and establishments," he told reporters in Darwin.

Admiral Griggs said the assaulted sailor was "okay" but his life had clearly been threatened.

NT police commander Richard Bryson said it was not believed ammunition or magazines were taken for the two pump-action rifles and 12 semi-automatic pistols.

"It would appear to investigators that the person who was the offender in these circumstances appeared to have good knowledge of the layout of the vessel and ADF (Australian Defence Force) procedures," Commander Bryson told reporters in Darwin.

It is unclear whether the intruder entered the base by land or sea.

Both NT police and the Australian Federal Police (AFP) are investigating the case.

The naval base has been in lockdown all day and all vehicles on it were being searched following the attack, which occurred just before 1am (CST).

Opposition defence spokesman David Johnston said the situation reflected on the government's decision to cut the defence budget.

A tender process for the ADF's security program had commenced but the project had been shelved, Senator Johnston said.

"It was a $203 million project that was about two months ago involving CCTV, duress monitoring systems etcetera and it was shelved because of budgetary restraints," he told AAP.

"I think that is a smoking gun on the negligence and complete lack of understanding of what reaching into defence and pulling $5.5 billion out of the last budget causes."

Senator Johnston said the security breach in Darwin was the second wake-up call for the need to improve base security, following the discovery of a plot by terrorists to attack Holsworthy army base in Sydney.

"The security of weapons and munitions is one of the first priorities of a defence force," he said.

"This government has fallen at one of the first hurdles."

Defence Minister Stephen Smith declined to comment on the criticisms.

In a separate Darwin robbery, another five firearms and a large amount of cash were stolen from a business at Berrimah, near Darwin, about 5.30am, when a shop's gun safe was broken into.

But police have not yet identified any link between the two thefts.

Saudi buys C4I system from Raytheon
30 November 2012 Friday

Saudi Arabia has signed a 'direct commercial sale' contract with Raytheon for a Command, Control, Communications, Computers and Intelligence (C4I) . The system will be delivered by Raytheon's Network Centric Systems business.

The direct sale means the Saudi’s defence ministry will manage the buy and the implementation project themselves. This is in contrast to the Foreign Military Sale process, which routes contract negotiations and management through a selected department of the US military.

Raytheon said the agreement has a value in excess of $600 million. Under the agreement, the company will provide a national, strategic C4I system, providing capabilities for joint service coordination.

Modern national C4I will help the Saudis bring together information from advanced RSAF surveillance assets like the E-3/RE-3 jets, and Saab Erieye turboprop AEW&C. This leads to better ability to command the advanced fighter fleet of F-15s, Eurofighters, and Tornados.

It also connects with border surveillance and the ground management of the country’s Patriot and Hawk missile systems

Raytheon has worked with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia for the past four decades. The company said it ‘values its continuing partnership with the Kingdom and is proud to have been selected to implement this essential system.’

A fallen cadet
By Jose Miguel Gomez | 30 November 2012 Friday

Bogota, Colombia

When a television journalist called to her cameraman to come running, I thought it was just to get a better angle of some VIP arriving to celebrate the 121st anniversary of the National Police, and the new graduating class of the academy. I’m farsighted and didn’t have my glasses on, but I did have a 400mm lens on the camera.

A few more moments went by and I still didn’t catch what the fuss was about, and the only colleague near me was busy shooting. That was when I spotted the cadet on the ground, apparently fainted in the middle of the ceremony, and I instinctively began photographing. Help was so slow in arriving that I was able to shoot from different angles this curious scene of a policewoman lying unconscious, face down on the ground in her best uniform. It was at least five minutes before a couple of police officers finally carried her away.

In the meantime the ceremony continued with the presence of the presidents of Colombia, Costa Rica and Honduras, whom I assumed were asking themselves the same thing I was – why did it take so long amidst a formal ceremony to help this girl?

Her companions could only observe her out of the corner of their eyes, and their faces showed anguish when nobody rushed to help.

I wondered how many hours the cadet had been waiting on her feet for the ceremony to begin, and what her fellow cadets were thinking that kept them from rushing to her aid. Maybe they would have been punished for breaking protocol, or even expelled from the academy.

Days later I heard that the fallen cadet wanted to quit the force, pero the generals didn’t accept her resignation. She considered herself a victim and expected others to side with her protest, even though this kind of thing happens everywhere. After what was otherwise a very boring ceremony, a striking photo of her on the ground in a forest of legs fronted the next day’s national newspapers, ready to provoke either jokes or compassion in a country immersed in its own war for several decades.

This cadet will never forget her collapse, nor will I ever forget my farsightedness, although I had enough time to take the right photos.

At the end of the ceremony an officer told us not to send the photo, but of course we did. Maybe there was a reason to be ashamed of the events because the ceremony was tainted by a cadet who fell asleep for five minutes on the grass during the 121st anniversary of Colombia’s embattled police force.

Photos.

PDRM to end peacekeeping mission in Timor Leste by year-end





Doosan S-5 APC



SEPANG, NOV 13 – The Royal Malaysian Police (PDRM) team participating in the United Nations (UN) peacekeeping mission in Timor Leste since October 2011 will be ending its stint by the end of this year.

Malaysia Unpol contingent commander, Supt Mohamad Salleh Khalid said Malaysia which had been taking part in the mission since 1999 had been acknowledged as one of the countries that had carried out its responsibilities well.

He said this to reporters at the Kuala Lumpur International Airport, here, today to welcome the arrival home of 77 PDRM officers and other personnel comprising 65 men and 12 women who were also received by Bukit Aman principal assistant director (personnel management), SAC Hasanuddin Hassan.

According to him, another 19 officers and other personnel would return home tomorrow while four more by next month.

Mohamed Salleh said although the PDRM members were favourably received by the police and people in Timor Leste, there had been anxious moments as well.

He cited an incident on July 17 where almost 90 vehicles carrying the peacekeeping mission groups were pelted with stones by the residents, breaking the glass screens.

“ The people appeared to be venting their dissatisfaction after the parliamentary election that was held in that country, ” he said.

He added that the extremely hot weather and limited water supply were also a challenge to the team.

Meanwhile, Inspector-General of Police Tan Sri Ismail Omar in his speech read out by Hasanuddin, said PDRM personnel were assigned to assist the police in Timor Leste in various aspects, besides carrying out community service.

“ The competence and professionalism of our personnel have been acknowledged by the highest management level at the UN mission in New York, which we can be proud of, ” he said.
