Who won't be jumping if like that?

Did the Russians give such a similar assurance to the Sukhoi built by India?

not 100% though.
Thales spectra were not included.
Dassault want to have more control in QC parts, which I think they dun have much confident with India capabilities.
anything goes wrong there will affected dassault as well.

between MPA, Patrol vessel or attack helos..which is more important to procure with our tight budget we're having now..? i quite agree with Marhalim said in his website about opposing the army's plan to push Mindef to buy Tiger helos..

The French then have a big ass dilemma then.

If i am the guy supplying PC components, i usually assemble for my customer so that no stuff like "sorry i bent the processor pin in the motherboard, How ah?" (not covered by warranty) can happen to me as i am responsible for one to one exchange for most of the PC parts i supplied within 7 days.

So, I do feel that how the French are feeling over this especially they are not told about they have to be responsible for something that is not within their control.

BUT!!!

What Dassault said was simple, if HAL builds Rafale, don't expect the aircraft to be in same quality like the 18 aircrafts they buy directly from Dassault:

Industry Shooting for Army’s First New Rifle in Half Century

The U.S. military has not changed its troops’ primary weapon in 50 years. Efforts to replace the M16 family of infantry rifles with a significantly improved design have repeatedly failed, resulting in soldiers and Marines carrying the same weapon into combat in the 21st century that was first introduced when their parent’s generation was fighting the Vietnam War.

The M16’s streak as the longest-running standard U.S. infantry rifle could be ended later this year when the Army announces results from two years of sorting through candidates for the “individual carbine” competition.

Several companies are awaiting word on the Army’s progress with the individual carbine competition. The companies still in the running are Adcor Defense, Colt Defense, FNH USA, Heckler & Koch, Remington and Beretta USA Corp.

The competition phase has already lasted two years. The IC competition began with a request for proposals in 2011, and sample testing is currently underway. A decision on which rifle the Army prefers is expected in 2013.

After determining the weapon that best meets the requirement, the Army will conduct a cost-benefit analysis. This will determine if it is in the best interest of the Army to procure the winning carbine, and if so, what the ultimate fielding plan will be.

Greg Ulsh, vice president of military operations at FNH USA, said the company remains “curious” about the Army’s intentions. It has been more than 10 months since anyone at his company, which also manufactures M16s for the Army, has had word from the military, he said.

“Of course we are very anxious to find out what happens,” Ulsh said. “We think we have a great gun.”

That sentiment was shared by spokesmen for each of the companies vying for the IC contract. For most, it is the third time in as many decades they have offered the Army an alternative to the M16.



rest of story

the best choice would be HK416 with a separate contract for M4 conversion kits to upgrade the current stock of M4.but the US military is stupid and likes to burn through money so going for FN since FN manufacturing already makes the M16/M249/M240/M2 for the military so they have a lot of pull

OPSEC.ngeh ngeh ngeh

my brother and friends kept saying army have sent tanks to Lahad Datu..they always said "yg gamba atas treler tuh kete kebal le tuh~"...trying hard to contain my urge to say it's a goddamn Adnan APC..not a tank..

Aku pun malas nak cite memanjang pasal apc nih kat member2 aku, jadi cakap aje sume tank..

Though I still want they send the pt-91m there,
Kasi tunjuk kat suluk2 tu bapak punye tank!

Bukan semua Sulu tu musuh kita, bro. Ada skt segelintir aja yang masuk tak kena gaya dan buat pasal. Yang lain tu, yang setia kepada negara kita, kita patut terima dan layan dengan baik. Dema tu pun sedara serumpun dengan kita sebenarnya.

Pulak tu, dema tu juga punya keturunan pahlawan bukan sembarangan. Bukan ka sdh terbukti di Lahad Datu. Yang terbukti baik dan setia di kalangan mereka boleh kita ambil berkhidmat sebagai perajurit dalam ATM di hari mendatang.

A tiger would be too obvious, maybe just nuri flying around?

i feel like slapping this dr kua.
