IN FOCUS: Airframers gear up for another LIMA
By Greg Waldron Singapore

Delegates at the 26-30 March Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA) exhibition would be wise not to hold discussions in the corridors between stands. If they do, they will unceremoniously be shooed to the side by urgent men in suits. Shortly thereafter, a large delegation will push through. While the prime minister's delegation of possibly 100 aides and security personnel will inevitably be the largest, every general, politician, and senior civil servant will attend the show with an impressive entourage.

Despite the lavish delegations snaking through LIMA's two smallish show halls, Kuala Lumpur's ambitions for its air force are best described as modest. This is the opposite of the situation at the Singapore air show, where modest-sized, polite delegations belie a steely ambition to maintain Southeast Asia's most potent air force.

Perhaps the only big change from the last instalment of LIMA in December 2011 is the show's timing, which has been brought forward by eight months to late March. Show organisers say the revised schedule is easier for the Royal Malaysian Air Force and the country's navy to accommodate. The move also goes some way to deconflicting LIMA and the Singapore air show, the next iteration of which falls in February 2014.

One thing that has not changed since December 2011, however, is the security situation confronting Kuala Lumpur. As ever, Malaysia's western seaboard commands the Strait of Malacca, a waterway of inestimable importance to Northeast Asian powers such as China, Japan and South Korea. Its eastern seaboard fronts the South China Sea, where Malaysia, the Philippines, Brunei, Vietnam and China have conflicting territorial claims.

this much more better then RPG 1000X no accuracy at all

yes it is... and the most ridiculuos one is that stealth fighter that got a very small cockpit and you can see the pilot knee. and that video proof showing the flight test of that jet is almost the same with a RC plane flight pattern.

the stealth jet looks like a bad joke..i know it's important to support fellow islam countries but Iran just way not ready to take on Israel and US..plus NATO..

siapa ada data yang terbaru, tahun 2013.. sila kongsi sini ..
saya jumpa data tahun 2011 perbandingan perbelanjaan ketenteraan 5 negara berjiran dengan Malaysia,

rasanya lepas kes pencerobohan Sulu ke Sabah 2013 ni.. semestinya perbelanjaan ketenteraan Malaysia dan Filipina akan meningkat mendadak.

Well, it was slashed quite a chunk last year..
Just hope we'll acquire some much needed stuff in the future, like attack chopper and more boats.

After LD insident, hopefully gov spend more on military asset and all politiking need to shut their mouth provided no great white shark menangguk di air yg keruh.

Been posted in this thread in the previous pages, tni are very serious in purchasing their military assets. Not comparing SG which is small country but the military shopping very da big.

Imagine msia don't have power assets like pinoy, we will loose bargaining power. Not to mention the confident of msia citizens and foreign invester.

Read and understand my siggy. Just my 2 cents.

yeah..our five-year budget programme should drastically increase after LD..like indo, we need at least USD 15 billion to get multiple new assets in decent quantity..

not a well write there were a few data mistake.

Indonesia to buy more Russian jet fighters, patrol ships
By Randy Fabi | 20 March 2013 Wednesday | 4:16am EDT

(Reuters) - Indonesia plans to buy more than a dozen Russian Sukhoi fighter jets and domestically made, missile-equipped patrol ships as part of a $15 billion five-year campaign to modernise its military, defence officials said on Wednesday.

Southeast Asia's largest economy has sharply increased its defence budget since 2010 as the military looks to bolster its capacity to protect shipping lanes, ports and maritime boundaries.

Indonesia is also wary of being left behind as China, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand and other Asian nations ramp up defence spending.

Defence Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro said Indonesia wanted to buy a full squadron of the Sukhoi fighter jets and the patrol boats.

He also warned delegates at a military conference that rapidly increasing military spending and stronger defence capabilities in the region could sow distrust and fuel rivalry.

"If this is not accompanied by enhanced transparency that improves trust and confidence, it could run the risk of an arms race that adversely impacts on peace and stability," he said.

Another Indonesian military official said the plan was to buy as many as 16 more Russian Sukhoi fighter jets, 17 patrol vessels, three light frigates and an undisclosed number of tanks and missiles.

Indonesia also planned to upgrade a squadron of U.S.-made F-16s. Indonesia already has more than 10 Sukhoi jets.

Last October, the Defence Ministry said it was set to buy 130 Leopard 2 tanks from Rheinmetall AG of Germany worth a total of $280 million.

Indonesia, a vast nation of islands with key sea lanes and 54,700 km (34,000 miles) of coast, has also ordered three submarines from South Korea to expand its fleet to five.

Defence spending in 2012 stood at 72.5 trillion rupiah ($7.54 billion), up 30 percent from 2011. It is expected to rise to 77.7 trillion rupiah in 2013.

RSAF F-15 & TNI-AU Su-30

these lease deal is on the table for quite some times.
I think it will replace either hawk or f-5 rather than migs.

the lease deal was mentioned in case we will go for Gripen-NG, which is still under development..

Gripen-NG were out off the competition right from the start.
it did not match the requirement.
than Saab come back with a lease deals hoping for the government consider it for others fighter jet replacement rather than hopping to replace migs.
F-5 and Hawk have been in the inventory for very long time.
