Smart-s is a multibeam rotating phased array radar. I think this is the first Phased Array 3D radar operated by the TLDM right? So it's natural that we are overwhelmed by the complexity of the system. Phased array allow the operator to manipulate the beam in a way that can't be done by mechanical radar. So there'll most certainly much more options.

how bout our armored cor? can train where? Poland?

lulz he mad

the price of a WMD of course is not 1 million but counting the training,equipment and logistics to support WMDs.

imagine the cost of a GGK commando

MILF sniper!

badass makcik!

1. Enhanced Combat Helmet
Made from advanced plastics rather than Kevlar, the new ECH offers 35 percent more protection than current helmets.

2. NETT Warrior
This system is designed to provide vastly increased situational awareness on the battlefield, allowing combat leaders to track the locations and health of their teams, who are viewing tactical information via helmet-mounted computer screens.

3. Solar Photo-voltaic Threads
Photosensitive fibers woven into the soldier’s uniform that could convert solar radiation to electricity powering the Nett warrior system. Currently, the system runs on a chest-mounted battery pack.

4. XM25 Grenade Launcher
The XM25 Individual Airburst Weapon System (IAWS) is a computer-controlled, airburst grenade launcher, dubbed the Punisher. Several units are already in use in Afghanistan; the Army will field as many as possible in the next few years.

5. Interceptor Body Armor
The Army’s IBA is a lightweight, modular protective system that can stop bullets and fragments while providing easy maneuverability. It consists of an outer vest, ballistic plates, and attachable components for arms, groin, throat, and sides.

6. Knee and Elbow Pads
Lightweight and super-durable, the Army’s Kevlar KEPs provide dismounted soldiers with protection in case they find themselves on
their knees (get your mind out of the gutter).

7. ASEK Surival Knife System
Forged from carbon steel, with a five-inch blade, this Natick-lab-tested survival knife is equipped with a Plexiglas breaker, hammer, saw teeth, serrations, spear holes, lanyard hole, and insulated guard.

8. Beretta M9
The Army’s standard-issue 9 mm sidearm allows for the attachment of an Integrated Laser White Light Pointer.

9. Active Camoflage
Woven optoelectric threads that change the appearance of
the fabric to reflect changes in environment. Though still hypothetical at this stage, it would allow soldiers to blend right into the background, Predator-style.

10. Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment
A very fancy-sounding backpack, the MOLLE (rhymes with Polly) is equipped with modular patch attachments, a plastic 72 oz. hydration bladder (the tube is coming over the soldier’s left shoulder) and a Tactical Assault Panel to protect
the chest.

11. Generation II Helmet Sensor
The Gen II HS provides the wearer with analysis of explosions and any other potential source of head trauma

21 dead in Xinjiang terrorist clash
English.news.cn 2013-04-24 15:39:20

URUMQI, April 24 (Xinhua) -- A violent clash between suspected terrorists and authorities in northwest China's Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region has left 21 people dead, including 15 community workers and police officers and six of the suspects, local authorities said on Wednesday.

The attacks happened around Tuesday noon in a town of Bachu County, Kashgar Prefecture, some 1,200 km southwest of Urumqi, regional capital of Xinjiang.

Three community workers discovered suspicious individuals and knives in the home of a local resident. They then reported the situation to their supervisors via phone, but were seized by the suspects who had been hiding in the house.

Police officers and community officials from the township rushed to the scene, but were attacked and killed by the suspects, who also killed the three community workers they had seized earlier and burned the house.

Other police officers who arrived at the scene shot the suspects and got the situation under control.

Two other people from the authorities were also injured in the clash, and eight terrorist suspects were captured.

An initial investigation has indicated that the suspects are all terrorists who were planning on violent attacks.

Further investigation into the case is under way.

The major scope of first stage of PAK FA’s state testing will be completed in 2015
Russian Aviaton » Wednesday April 24, 2013 11:24 MSK



The major scope of first stage of PAK FA’s state testing will be completed in 2015, ARMS-TASS reports. It was stated by the president of United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), Mikhail Pogosyan.

"We must complete the trial tests of PAK FA and start its trial operation in 2013. In 2014 we must start the state testing and the major scope of first stage of the jet’s state testing should be completed in 2015", - Mikhail Pogosyan said.

"In general the schedule of PAK FA program meets the requirements of the State arms program for the period until 2020", - the president of UAC said. However, he did not specify the date for putting the serial fifth-generation fighter into operation.

According to him, a total of six PAK FA prototypes are being tested at the moment. Four prototypes are taking part in flight testing, one – in the static tests and one more – in ground tests. One more prototype will join the flight testing this year. "Thus a total of five jets will be participating in flight testing", - Mikhail Pogosyan added.

He reminded that the corporation started the preliminary assessment of characteristics of PAK FA’s aircraft equipment last year and completed the testing of radar with phased antenna array, which is “very important in terms of improving the fighter’s combat effectiveness as compared to the fourth-generation aircraft”. Therefore the PAK FA’s major operational modes have been confirmed.

"We have completed the detailed design of PAK FA’s Phase 2 engine. The decision on carrying out further work will be taken on the basis of the engine’s detailed design", - president of UAC said.

The T-50, which will be the core of Russia's future fighter fleet, is a fifth-generation multirole fighter aircraft featuring elements of "stealth" technology," super-maneuverability, super-cruise capability (supersonic flight without use of afterburner), and an advanced avionics suite including an X-band active phased-array radar.

India will also buy a fighter aircraft based on the T-50, known as the FGFA (fifth-generation fighter aircraft).

United Aircraft Corporation is the state holding company uniting Russia's aircraft building industry including Sukhoi, a military and civil aircraft manufacturer.

Croatia presents new assault rifle

Croatian HS Produkt, the maker of the famous HS and XDM handguns, officially presented a new assault rifle at the opening of ASDA 2013 expo today in Split, Croatia.



The new Rifle, VHS-2, more specifically VHS-D2 for standard and VHS-K2 for short version, is a successor to the previous VHS rifle. Unlike the previous rifle, VHS-2 is ambidextrous, and casings can be ejected either left or right, but are also ejected a little forward. It is the first bull-pup rifle in the world to feature a telescopic stock with 6 positions. Barrels and calibers can be quickley switched out, as well as grenade launchers and other accessories.

casings can be ejected left and right? how is that possible?

either left OR right.
might need to disassemble and move ejection port to other side, then reassemble ala tavor.

not sure why they need a telescopic stock.

ARX160 just needed the tip of the bullet to change the ejection port!

dunno..but operating NSM will be a new thing for TLDM

one commmentator in marhalim abas blog said MBDA got some 'attitude' issue, french punya perangai..thats why TLDM don't want MBDA anymore

no..im not saying 3D radar is slow response..what i mean is the operator having problem to switch from one option mode to another & that affected time to response

i guess u're right..having a lot of multiple options under one single platform might give them a headache to get used to the system

can't wait to see our new army digicam outfit..btw, Mindef give digicam to navy and airforce too or not?

I am not an expert in military rifle so couldn't answer ur question but here's a posting at http://www.securityarms.com/firearm/4546
It doesn't mention about the left/right eject but provides a good background info on the VHS. Possibly this posting is a bit dated...i'm not sure...but the pics below are from the show.





A big thanks to Streinger, the person who has posted on the Web pictures and infos of the Croatian VHS assault rifle: http://www.ghostrecon.net/forums/lofiversi...php/t26318.html Today he sent me pictures of exploded view. Pictures made by Streinger This new Croatian rifle, named VHS, was recently presented on iKA, an annual innovation display in Karlovac, Croatia. Externally, it may look like a fuse of Tavor, Tavor 2 and FAMAS, but internally, there's a different story; when fired, gun powder gasses push the bolt backward via piston, that much is the same as in almost all assault rifles. However, the unique feature of this gun is that it has additional gas vent that leads some of the gases into a chamber located BEHIND the bolt. As the bolt moves backward, it's gradually slowed down and then softly stopped by a gas cushion, rather then coming into an abrupt stop as it reaches it's most backward position, causing recoil. This feature makes VHS, well, not recoilless, but very low recoil and easy to fire. Some other features of the VHS rifle are the following; length 750mm, width 448mm, height 255mm. Barrel length 500mm(!) Calibre 5,56X45mm NATO Cyclic rate of fire- 600rpm, single/auto/safe fire selector Weight (without flash light, grenade launcher, bayonet or magazine)- only 2,3kg(!) Pistol grip placed in weapon's center point, making it possible to fire with one hand. Integral bipod that folds entirely into a serration in the grip. Dove tail mount located under the barrel, infront of the pistol grip- for mounting flash light, laser or IC light. Easy mounting 40mm underbarrel grenade launcher- when lower part of the front grip is removed, the GL mounts on the gun in the same manner as the bayonet. Any kind of optical sight can be mounted ontop of a carry handle, which is also equipped with iron sight that shooter uses with both eyes open- apparently, this feature is common in some hunting rifles...I'd appreciate any additional info on that. (I'm familiar with military rifles, but know next to nothing about hunting rifles or shotguns...) The VHS is developed by HS Produkt, the same factory that makes HS2000/ Springfield XD pistols. It's been thoroughly tested by HS Product team and presented as finished product, not prototype. It's currently undergoing testing by Croatian army. Rumour has it it's even been offered to US army... Possible date of adaptation by Croatian army- some say Croatian contingent of MPs in Afghanistan will be equipped with VHS soon, other sources say the earliest VHS can be adopted is 2008... Other link: New assault rifle that has been developed for the past few years by company "HS Produkt" was yesterday (Apr 16, 2005) shown to the public for the first time. By the words of Ivana Zabcica and Marka Vukovica, the owners of the company, after the HS2000 pistol witch was pronounced the best pistol in U.S.A. the new assault rifle should bring new standards to the world arms market. The rifle has a new construction and in comparison to the simmular weapons it will have the longest barell length, lowest weight and be easy to dissemble. Other easily put add on´s will include a grenade launcher, knife and laser. The gun (5.56mm) will be offerd with a new aiming construction witch is used with both eyes. The gun is in testing faze but contract for deliviry to croatian army is expected to be made soon. Part of the rifles will be tested in croatia and part in real combat conditions by croatian military police stationed in Afganistan.
