credit to standupper @ mymil

2nd batch itu letak kat Labuan tak kacua siapa pun.

still very far from them.
mayb buy a few brahmos to add some spice.

kan dah ada Irbis-E radar.
perhaps some money to further upgrade it?

brahmos itu pun minimum aje.
what i want the most is storm shadow missile.

boleh ker?
letak RBE2aa kat mkm?

The biggest rumors come from trade-in of the old migs with 6 MKM with a discounted price.
Our 1st batch MKM might get some upgrade as well.

not sure they might refurbish it and sell to other nation or they are going to use it themselves.

there would. Myanmar or any other exsoviet country for example.

how so?

Not sure about that.
if high profile assets it will require US approval.
In russian deals it is a proposal from their government not ours.
but it seem like it get lots of interest.
US at one times have offer the trade in of our Hornet. to make way for larger amount of SH.

EF2000 no thanks.
A Big NO.
Seperti yang arteyu kata banyak masalah.

keke.
ada cerita osa ker?
Anyway SH ftw. beberap Bulan yang lepas MIDA telah adakan perbincangan panjang lebar ngan Boeing dan beberapa syarikat US.
dengar kata it goes well. CTRM mungkin dapat contract besar.
lepas 1 minggu lebih BAE come out with the 10bil deals.

memang kena paksa beli ini. macam migs deal dulu.

Maintenance is not a problem.
we just need to setup a new department for Rafale.

the big problem is the budget. IIRC we only allocate USD1bil for the 8-18 jets.
I highly doubt if there will given special budget.
if you split I dun think we can get the desire amount of aircraft.
it is a whole differ story compare to the migs case. IIRC we get the migs very cheaps price.
the rafale price tags in whole new level.

Saab were playing it smartly "lease the gripen perhaps they even throw in AEW deals as well".
I'm seeing these deals is much higher for split buying.
special budget for AEW is highly possible compare to special budget for jet fighter

we did not challange SG.
Airforce have to fill in the gap when the migs retire.

/conspiracy/
Sebenarnya masa Dr.M berkuasa pihak US memang tak duduk senang policies Dr. M yang agak aggresive terhadap Singapore.
apabila Dr. M dah retire US pun dah turunkan weapons restriction kat Malaysia.
pada masa yang sama pertukaran politics kat US dan kuasa China pun menjadi factor utama AS membenarkan Malaysia membeli senjata yang higher standard.
____________________

SH merupakan salah satu MMRCA yang tulen sekali kalau dibandingkan ngan fighter yang lain.
Malah saya pasti SH memang higher standard compare to EF dan rafale.
dengan SH block 2 offer kat Malaysia akan tingkatkan kuasa udara kita.

tak payah ambik itu.
Saya lebih suka kalau kita ambik JSM. cuma bayar cost integration aje.
tak ada masalah politic or restriction.

rasanya kita tak dapat JASSM. tak tau lar. tak salah kalau kita tanya mana tau dapat juga.
JSOW mungkin boleh dapat.

lolol.
banyak wet dream.

not because of single engine.
it is because it new tech and the performance is not up to the standard as the paper 1st proposed.
lack of funding.

Two seater.
we are getting block 2 as well.

can the only thing is money.
Anyway most of our system are western block.
Even our Russian equipment is modded with western tech into it.

sure we already order 6 units.
would be the most advance ship in TLDM fleet.
