This is from Defence Review Asia dated 28 Jan 2013.

Southeast Asia has been undergoing something of a ‘domino effect’, with MBTs arriving for the first time in Malaysia in 2007, soon after in Singapore, and eventually in Indonesia this year. The Indonesian military is receiving a more substantial defence budget, raising the spectre of procuring MBTs for the first time. Media reports originally linked Indonesia to the purchase of 100 decommissioned Leopard 2A6s from the Netherlands, though Dutch lawmakers scuttled this deal.

Indonesia promptly turned to Germany, which was also selling off surplus stock. The deal under consideration, which awaits contract signature, should include 113 Leopard tanks (41 2A4, 62 2A4 Revolution, and ten recovery and bridge-layer vehicles). Confident the deal would go ahead, Rheinmetall showed a Leopard 2A4 Revolution at Indo Defence late last year. Christened Leopard-RI, this variant features an upgrade package that mimics the one on Singapore’s Leopards. The deal will also provide 50 Marder 1A3 IFVs for the army. Debate remains over whether the heavy Leopard 2A4 is suitable for an archipelago with an underdeveloped road network.

Taking advantage of a previous German selloff, Singapore procured 96 Leopard 2A4s, 30 of which were spare-parts donors. The 66 Leopard 2s were immediately put through an upgrade programme engineered by IBD, the resulting vehicle called the Leopard 2 SG. It is fitted with IBD’s Evolution suite that boasts fourth-generation Advanced Modular Armour Protection (AMAP), which employs steel alloy, aluminium-titanium alloy, nanometric steel, ceramic inserts and nano-ceramics. Steel slat armour is installed on the hull and turret rear and flanks while the hull bottom is reinforced against mines. The Evolution suite increases the tank’s weight from 55.15 tons to 60 tons. An APS from ADS Gesellschaft is likely to be part of Singapore’s installation, but it has not been seen in public so far. In light of this sales success, Krauss-Maffei Wegmann (KMW) established an Asia-Pacific hub in Singapore in February 2010. As well as MBTs, Singapore has inducted the supporting Leopard 2 Armoured Recovery Vehicle (LARV) and Armoured Vehicle-Launched Bridge (L2-AVLB).

The Malaysian Army led Southeast Asia’s rush to MBTs when it ordered 48 Bumar Labedy PT-91M Pendekar tanks from Poland. The first vehicles delivered in 2007 featured a Polish ERA package, Sagem SAVAN 15 FCS, new 1,000hp S-1000R engine and RENK ESM350M transmission. The integration of the Malaysian-specified engines and transmission caused initial difficulties but the 11th Royal Armoured Regiment was declared fully operational on 1 September 2010. While Malaysia would like to expand its tank fleet, this has been deferred indefinitely while other higher-priority items such as the AV-8 wheeled vehicle family are acquired.

Thailand’s tank fleet is varied and ageing, but it has looked to Ukraine to modernise its fleet. The government signed a US $240 million contract for 49 T-84 Oplot MBTs in September 2011, the T-84 being chosen ahead of the South Korean K1A1. Thai-Ukraine cooperation is at an all-time high considering the earlier purchase of BTR-3E1 8x8 armoured personnel carriers (APC). Thailand could possibly acquire up to 200 Oplots to allow retirement of the elderly M41A3.

i think we could have bought those german cold war surplus....but malaysian want to mod our machines to our own taste

so now we badly need attack helos as deterent to all the other mbt around

one of reason that i've been heard was that ruskies disagree with barter trade payment method unlike poland

Lahad Datu: PKR's Penampang candidate Darell Leiking claims likely to be named among Sulu incursion plotters

PENAMPANG: PKR candidate Darell Leiking has stepped forward to claim that he would be named as one of the Opposition leaders likely to be named for allegedly plotting the Sulu incursion to Sabah.

Darell said he came to this conclusion because he, with PKR leaders R. Sivarasa and Tian Chua, had made a trip to Manila prior to the February intrusion.

He said the trip had nothing to do with the Sulus but that they were there to get information on wanted conman Manuel Amalilio, who is accused of cheating RM1bil from thousands of Filipinos and now jailed for two years in Sabah for holding a fake Philippines passport.

"We condemn the Sulu incursion and we hope no one distorts the facts to make us look bad," said Darell who is embroiled in a David-and-Goliath match with seasoned Kadazandusun chief Tan Sri Bernard Dompok in Penampang parliamentary seat.

Darell urged the authorities to publicly name the three Opposition leaders accused of the plot so they can defend themselves in court.

Defence Minister Datuk Seri Zahid Hamidi has stated that two of the Opposition leaders involved in the Sulu plot were from Peninsular Malaysia and another from Sabah.

Darell, who said at a ceramah on Friday that he could be one of those accused of plotting the Sulu incursion, said Saturday that the authorities kept changing the story regarding the Sulu incursion.
