I remembered reading somewhere before....at one time South Korea was testing a drone....the North Korean jammed the GPS....the drone crash killing the operator and destroying the ground station unit in a vehicle...the gps jamming even affected some commercial flights nearby

Here it is...I found the article


UAV Crash in Korea Linked To GPS Jamming
AIN Defense Perspective » June 1, 2012


June 1, 2012, 2:05 PM

Jamming of GPS signals by North Korea may have contributed to the fatal crash of a Schiebel S-100 Camcopter UAV near Incheon, South Korea, on May 10. The small helicopter crashed into its ground control van, killing a Schiebel engineer and injuring the two remote pilots, both Koreans. The jamming started on April 28 and disrupted passenger flights into Seoul’s two airports, Kimpo and Incheon. South Korean government officials told local media that the jamming originated from the border town of Kaesong.

Schiebel said that an incorrect response by the operators after the Camcopter lost its GPS signal led to the crash, some minutes later. The UAV is equipped with multiple inertial measurement units (IMUs) for backup, the company noted. The recorders on board the UAV and in the ground station were burned during the crash, and could not provide any explanatory data.

The crashed UAV had been operating in South Korea since October 2008, apparently on demonstrations for government agencies. Schiebel has not identified most of its customers for the S-100. Schiebel lifted a five-day precautionary grounding of the S-100 fleet on May 15.

In an early April briefing attended by AIN, Raytheon UK claimed to be the world leader in GPS anti-jam technology. The company noted that North Korea has been jamming from land vehicles, and that unprotected platforms can be affected at ranges up to 10 miles.

Raytheon UK said it has supplied more than 7,000 jam-resistant antennas to the U.S. and some 20 other countries for aircraft, helicopters, weapons and land vehicles. These include digital versions of the technology that protects platforms over a larger area than the company’s earlier, analog system.

Under a Pentagon contract, Raytheon UK has also developed a smaller version suitable for UAVs and light helicopters.

sos or it didint happen m8

may not confirmed sry

google:
Kedah Class is armed with an Oto Melara 76mm medium range gun at the front and an Oto Melara 30mm short-range gun fitted at the aft side of the vessel.
It also has provisions to add Exocet MM40 surface-to-surface missile system and SeaRAM anti-ship missile defence system.

don't see any vertical launchers, so no AA missiles.
no surprise since only patrol vessel.

sorry...i went out just now

I am not selling them...I think it's illegalL...this is from a slide presentation at the Malaysian Geospatial Forum Mar 2012

that what I thought this kedah class should hv at least exocet in place, I mean if it just gun then no point having warship this day where everything fight in long range type of warfare

hope they put exocet in future

just patrol vessel.

tbf i dont think this ship capable catching any speed boat they just there to spot any...and the weaponry wont be able to reach those speed boat as well

The Bombings at Boston Marathon

don't know bout u guys, but i don't think the Boston bombings is Al-Qaeda's doing or any muslims extremist..coz usually Al-Qaeda will announce that they are the culprit behind a bombing as soon as the bombing occurs..but this time, they didn't..so i'm guessing it must be an american doing..like the Oklahoma Bombing not long ago..

besides, i'm pretty sure Homeland Security has been keeping their eye real tight on Al-Qaeda and its associates..quite impossible for them to missed a bombing plan..especially if it was a plan to bomb the US-soil itself..

that's where westland heli come into the picture. those patrol vessal shud have a helipad

It's call False Flag Ops...create a situation so that your enemy get blamed...leave behind evidence-like things so that people believe...a specialty of Mossad

Look at this

Mossad would bomb their own ally? and even the great CIA can't detect it? i dun know man..sounds impossible though..for bombings around Iran or Syria, i might believe they were Mossad's doing..

Believe me...their black ops can be anywhere in the world...even in US....they have only 1000+ operatives...but deadly...I remembered India caught some Israeli dressed as Tabligh

after the 1973 munich massacre, the mossad went into kill mode, kill those pipu responsible for the massacre in countries worldwide.

only when they got a botch operation in Germany and caught by police only reveal to the world what they are doing.

yes they are a deadly silent killer.

Saudi National "person of interest" held In Boston Terror Attack Named Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi





Excerpted from MYFOXBOSTON

Sources confirmed to FoxNews.com that the apartment being searched in connection to the bombings is on the fifth floor of the building.

A source close to the investigation confirms to FoxNews.com the man whose apartment was searched is considered a person of interest in the case, and is the same person of interest Fox News confirmed earlier authorities are guarding at a local hospital.

The source confirmed to FoxNews.com that the person of interest is Abdul Rahman Ali Alharbi, a 20-year-old Saudi. His Facebook page identifies him as a current or former student at the New England School of English. He is believed to have entered the country on a student visa.

The source stressed that Alharbi is a person of interest, not a suspect, and said he suffered serious injuries in the explosion.

Investigators were seen leaving the Revere house early Tuesday carrying brown paper bags, plastic trash bags and a duffel bag, according to the Associated Press.

The Pakistani Taliban, which has threatened attacks in the United States because of its support for the Pakistani government, denied any role in the marathon bombings Tuesday.

The group’s spokesman, Ahsanullah Ahsan, denied involvement in a telephone call with The Associated Press. He spoke from an undisclosed location.

Federal investigators said Monday no one had claimed responsibility for the devastating attack on one of the city’s most famous civic holidays, Patriots Day.

“There is no suspect,” said Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said Monday amid reports of the person of interest. “There are people we’re talking to.”

A first responder source confirms to Fox News that five total explosive devices were found in the Boston area, including the two that exploded. Authorities spent the next several hours sweeping the area for additional devices.

Davis said at an evening press conference the bombing killed “at least three,” and multiple reports said one of the dead was an eight-year-old boy. A source tells the Associated Press the boy’s mother and sister were also injured as they waited for his father to finish the race.

A first responder source tells Fox News all of the victims were either bystanders or marathon runners, and that two of the deceased were adults.

In addition to the deaths, 176 people were injured, 17 critically.

At Massachusetts General Hospital, Alasdair Conn, chief of emergency services, said: “This is something I’ve never seen in my 25 years here … this amount of carnage in the civilian population. This is what we expect from war.”

Boston Police Commissioner Edward Davis said during a press conference that no suspect is in custody. The first two explosions occurred at 2:50 p.m. – nearly five hours after the marathon began – about 50 to 100 yards apart, according to Davis. A third explosion occurred near the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum in the Columbia Point section of Dorchester, several miles southeast of the marathon’s finish line, at around 4:15 p.m. Police could not say if it was related to the earlier explosions.

The horror unfolded as the city marked the 238th annual Patriot’s Day, commemorating the anniversary of the Battles of Lexington and Concord at the beginning of the Revolutionary War. Competitors and race organizers were crying as they fled the bloody chaos, while some witnesses reported seeing victims with lost limbs.

“Somebody’s leg flew by my head,” a spectator, who gave his name as John Ross, told the Boston Herald. “I gave my belt to stop the blood.”

Twenty-six people were transported to Brigham and Women’s Hospital, including a 3-year-old, who was then taken to a children’s hospital. A doctor at the hospital said at least two of the patients there are in critical condition and that some have burns and injuries that will likely require amputations.
