Naik dahh
the Kedah class that I've not climb on is Kedah and Kelantan!

Lekiu class is the best ship of in the inventory of the TLDM

if there is a need to chase a speed boat, the kedah class have 2 high speed RHIB that can do the job
large ship are not meant to chase small boat!

ok, btw any update on gowind class project?

Royal Malaysian Navy Gowind class Corvettes for LCS program to be fitted with stealth 57mm Guns

At the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace exhibition 2013, Navy Recognition exclusively learned that the 6 future Gowind class Corvettes (Littoral Combat Ship program) will be fitted with 57mm Mark 3 main guns with stealth cupola from BAE Systems Bofors. We also took the opportunity to get the latest updates on the Malaysian LCS program from Anuar Murad, Director of Defence and Security at Boustead Heavy Industry Corporation.

Anuar Murad, Director of Defence & Security Division at BHIC, gave us the latest updates on the Gowind design for the Royal Malayasian Navy Littoral Combat Ship program.


It was confirmed during LIMA that the combat management system will be the SETIS by DCNS, the Fire Control Systems will be provided by Rheinmetall, and the engines will be provided by MTU. The design seems to have increased in size with the length of the LCS now at 111 meters (compared to 107 as previously reported) with a displacement of about 3,000 tons (compared to full load displacement of 2,730 tonnes as previously announced).

Integrated with SETIS, a combat system derived from FREMM class Frigates, Gowind Combat can tackle air, surface and submarine threats. The shock-resistant platform (built according to military standards), the small radar cross-section together with an excellent acoustic signature makes it a high-performance surface combatant.

Gowind Combat can be operated by a limited crew and has been designed to offer great at-sea availability and reduced life cycle costs.

During LIMA 2013 a Letter of Award was signed for the procurement of
BAE Systems Bofors 57mm Mark 3 with stealth Cupola.
In this picture taken during LIMA 2013, the gun is seen in open position.

BHIC Bofors Asia Sdn Bhd, the joint venture between Boustead Heavy Industries and BAE Systems (Bofors Asia), created in 2004, is set to benefit following the award to BAE Systems of a sub-contract for the sale of six 57mm Mk 3 naval guns for the Royal Malaysian Navy in a deal worth approximately RM175m.

The contract ‘letter of award’ was granted to BAE Systems during LIMA 2013 by the systems integrator, Contraves Advanced Devices, which is a joint venture between Boustead Heavy Industries and Rheinmetall Air Defence AG.

The 57mm naval gun, designed by BAE Systems in Karlskoga, Sweden, will equip the Malaysian Navy’s Second Generation Patrol Vessel – Littoral Combat Ships (SGPV-LCS). The contract
includes ammunition hoists, simulator and initial support.

The 57mm Mk 3 naval gun with stealth cupola is already fitted on the Royal Swedish Navy Visby class stealth corvettes. Like on the Visby class, the stealth cupola will greatly contribute to lower the stealth signature of the Malaysian Gowind corvettes. An engineer from BHIC Bofors Asia SDN. BHD. told us during LIMA 2013 that the shape of the stealth cupola for the Gowind Corvettes will slightly differ from the one found on the Visby class to maximize the stealth characteristics of the corvette designed by DCNS.

1(Fighter) Squadron Typhoons Exercise Their Close Air Support Skill Set Over The Malaysian Jungle



1(Fighter) Squadron, based at RAF Leuchars, have been flying Close Air Support (CAS) training missions in Malaysia, working in conjunction with RAF Regiment Joint Tactical Air Controllers (JTACs), to further develop Typhoon Multi-Role capability.

The JTACs – who provide a critical link between air assets and those units requiring air support on the ground – forward deployed to the Cameron Highland Mountains in the centre of the Malaysian peninsula. Having carried out a thorough reconnaissance of the area, the JTACs from RAF Honington’s Air Land Integration Cell and 16 Air Assault Brigade took up positions deep in the jungle, from where they could provide accurate control to the 1(F) Squadron pilots.

The tropical terrain provides the Typhoon pilots from 1(F) Squadron and their ground-based colleagues with a rare opportunity to practice their skills in a difficult and complex jungle environment.

1(F) Squadron pilot, Flight Lieutenant Jim Calvert, commented:

“This is has been my first CAS training opportunity on Typhoon since converting from the Harrier in 2011. CAS is a vital facet of Air Power in contemporary war-fighting and this Exercise gives pilots experience and confidence in a first class multi-role platform.


The CAS scenario we are training with in Malaysia is truly immersive; from the campaign plan devised by the Qualified Weapons Instructor and Intelligence Officer, to the combat-experienced JTACs acting as the 'boots on the ground'.


This has been some of the most accurate and challenging CAS I have conducted during training and it is even more beneficial when we get a chance to train in environments such as these.”


The Air Land Integration training represents the third phase of 1(F) Sqn’s detachment to Royal Malaysian Air Force Base Butterworth.

Wg Cdr Flewin, OC 1(F) Sqn, added, “The diverse landscape, hot and humid climate, and challenging weather are providing us with some unique training opportunities. Indeed, in addition to the air to surface work, we have already been engaged in some extremely enjoyable Dissimilar Air Combat Trainingwith both Malaysian F18 and MiG29 aircraft, and are very much looking forward to the challenges of Bersama Shield 13”

i see..no ammunition on their pylons when they fly..shooting blanks??

it's just a simulation i guess..no need for dummy bomb or sort..

i see..so far no activity yet..usually i see them fly in pack of two..lepak outside the house and see them training
