Old man, That because I'm ohsem and handsome and young.... did I mention YOUNG!!!!

hahahahaha

if gong kedak must be with the MKM!
I can ask around hahahaha

Kuching AFB got what skuadron?

my bro got send there.. next month i think...

he said he almost sure that he wont be in fixed-wing..

segan nak tanya lebih2.. kang dia cakap, aku yang solja kau pulak yang excited.. hahaha

its not like im that old.one civilian year equals five infantry years

go figure,anyone with the name montel is either in the air force or armoured corps

minimun height 1.62 cm?An asian army looking for tall people?good luck

If I was 17 again I couldn't pass the academic qualifications or the drug tests 

what about all the shorties?the army is missing the biggest recruiting markets.the small and the idiots

I don't see a reason for minimum height  requirement except for availability of clothing

SEALs have lean bodies because they spend a lot of time in the water

muscles are for insecure pussies!

EC-725 Akan Ditempatkan di Kuantan dan Sabah

Perolehan pesawat

Beliau berkata, perolehan kesemua 12 buah pesawat EC725 akan selesai menjelang 2014.

"Pada awal bulan ini, kita telah terima dua buah helikopter ini. Insya-Allah pada tahun 2013 kita akan terima sembilan lagi dan yang terakhir akan diterima pada awal tahun 2014.

"Saya yakin menjelang tahun 2015, kesemua helikopter berserta anak-anak kapal akan beroperasi sepenuhnya iaitu bagi melaksanakan setiap tugas yang diberikan," katanya.

Mengenai aspek penempatan, beliau berkata, lapan Eurocopter akan ditempatkan di Pangkalan Udara Kuantan di sini manakala empat lagi di Pangkalan Udara Labuan, Sabah.

Katanya, kriteria utama pemilihan kedua-dua pangkalan udara itu adalah berdasarkan pada kepentingan strategik, kawasan operasi serta infrastruktur yang sedia ada.

Extended Endurance Could Get C295AEW Back on the Indonesian Radar

Posted by Tamir Eshel

Airbus Military has begun flight-testing a modification to add winglets to the C295 medium transport and surveillance aircraft – one of a series of product developments underway on the market-leading type.

By increasing the lift-drag ratio the winglets are expected to improve performance in the takeoff, climb and cruise phases of the flight. For the C295 these extensions would contribute to hot and high runway performance, increased range and endurance, and reduced fuel consumption – driving lower operating costs.

The first flight of the wingletted Airborne Early Warning (AEW) configured aircraft took place in Spain on 21 December. Data from the flight test program will help evaluate the potential benefit and feasibility to incorporate winglets into the C295 design.

Extending the mission endurance of this aircraft is considered a critical requirement for Airbus Military, in order to meet the Indonesian Air Force requirement for Airborne Early Warning aircraft. Indonesia is already shopping for such aircraft, and, according to Air Force Chief of Staff ACM Imam Sufaat, larger platforms would be required for the country’s AEW mission, particularly in terms of endurance. It is expected that the improvements gained by those winglets would be sufficient to get the C295 into the game. The Indonesian market is considered a strategic market for the aircraft. In early 2012 Indonesia placed an order for nine C295 aircraft, the first delivered by the end of last year. Airbus Military is also helping its local partner PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PT DI) to modernize its manufacturing facilities to enable local assembly of these planes.

Few months earlier Airbus Military and missile developer MBDA performed flight demonstration of an armed C295 maritime patrol aircraft, carrying an instrumented Marte MK2/S anti-ship inert missile installed under the left wing. The flight was the first of a series of trials planned in a joint Airbus Military – MBDA collaboration to validate the aerodynamic integration of Marte on the C295. Subsequent flights will include handling qualities tests and aircraft flight performance tests. The C295 will be the first fixed-wing aircraft configuration for the missile. Marte Mk2/S is already integrated on the AW-101 and the NFH-90 naval helicopters.

The MBDA Marte MK2/S missile is a fire-and-forget, all-weather, medium-range sea-skimming anti-ship weapon system, equipped with inertial mid-course guidance and radar homing terminal guidance, and capable of destroying small vessels and heavily damaging major vessels. The missile has a weight of 310 Kg and is 3.85 m long. In the anti-submarine warfare (ASW) role, the C295 is already in-service carrying the MK46 torpedo.

New tanks due in May

Published: 5/01/2013 at 12:00 AM
   
Ukraine will deliver its first batch of T-84 Oplot main battle tanks to the army in May, army chief Prayuth Chan-ocha said yesterday.

Under the staggered delivery schedule, five of the tanks will be delivered in May, with another 50 tanks due by the end of 2015, he said. The army has ordered a total of 200 of the tanks.

During recent talks with the Ukraine government, Gen Prayuth said he had requested a speedier delivery of the battle tanks.

The first round of five tanks will be used for training purposes, he said.

Gen Prayuth said he had inspected an Oplot tank during a recent trip to Ukraine and believed the army was getting good value for money in terms of firepower and combat capabilities.

Most of the army's current armoured vehicles were purchased from Western countries, where prices were comparatively high, he said.

The procurement drew criticism from soldiers when the deal was announced in 2011. The Oplot tanks are equipped with an auto-loader that requires the tanks to stop moving when ammunition has been used up and new loading is necessary.

An army source told the Bangkok Post in 2011 that in a combat situation, tank crews generally prefer the relilability of a manual ammunition-loading system.
