lucius fox kata:
bridging vehicle for the military

Go in screaming: "yippee kai yay motherf*cker!"

<Serius mode>

I think KDN has to seriously rethink its (sometimes inept) response once the dust has settled.
I respect our men in uniform but can't help but feel that they've been let down by KDN's (and in effect the govt's) indecisiveness.

Some things to think about:

1. Re-org of military assets
Instead of being fixated with that little red dot (who are like our best-est buddies now, to the point that we want to see them in 90 mins), more military assets should be relocated to this new hot-spot.

2. Rethinking our strategy/response and operational capability
Is our police/military properly equipped both in terms of equipment and training to deal with such incidents (terrorism/unconventional attacks)?
i.e. we supposedly "surrounded" these infiltrators yet a big number were able to escape into plantations and the sea?
Signals corp supposedly jammed their comms - yet they can still call their boss in phillipines?
Our boys got jumped first by the infiltrators? I thought they were being monitored round-the-clock?
Intel totally missed the fact they had much heavier weapons than initially thought?

3. Exactly who should be in charge?
It is unclear who should be in charge - police or military - and when - to the point everyone is asking (and asking again) why police got sent in and not military?
What is the SOP? Some say it's police jurisdiction cos they're on our soil, but given that we're dealing with a bunch of battle-hardened armed intruders shouldn't the military take over?
No disrespect to VAT/UTK but the army might be a better choice in this situation.
At the same time the relevant ministers seem to very "lepas tangan" attitude.

4. Please tell us what's going on instead of a total media blackout
It's infuriating that with the local media blackout that we have to depend on the phillipines media for information.
This lack of clear information does nothing but induces fear, rumor-mongering and paranoia.
Please, our country is "under attack" - we demand to know (without sacrificing confidential info) what's going on.

damn, all info come from pinoy media...

1. i thought sat phone can be jammed?

2. i think this national security act should be reviewed.

commandos are not soldiers with iddqd god-mode turned on.
look at the history of other commando units like the SAS, sayaret matkal etc and they've had their casualties as well.

this.

lol. they are not part of any formal military - despite calling themselves the royal army - where got rank?
more likely bunch of pirates/rebels with years of battle experience.

a big difference is formal military got rules of engagement (who/when/where to shoot/not shoot) and conduct of war (geneva convention etc).

militants/terrorists tak kisah, anything goes for them.

When ppl think of commando, they think of:

not formally trained but trained by other terrorists with plenty of real fighting experience + religious/national fanaticism + no code of conduct = dangerous

we said they are GOOD.
we didn't say they are GOD.

they're interested mostly in the vertical lift-off capability.

they are one of the security participants along w/ Israel.

i think misquote. should be the f-5s which are almost EOL.
the f15sg is probably around 2.5-3 years old.

so i got to tour Singapore Navy's RSS Intrepid today.

in b4 yinchet and atreyuangel jelly yo

The Intrepid (meaning: fearless) is the 2nd ship of the Formidable class, a multi-mission stealth frigate based on the French LaFayette class.
The lead ship RSS Formidable was built in France; RSS Intrepid was built locally by ST Marine.




With a Sikorsky Seahawk in the back.

But first let's look at some of the heat the navy boys pack when boarding vessels:


HK 416 w/ red dot sight


HK MP5K PDW w/ stock folded

Not shown: the venerable M4 Carbine and some Sig Sauer pistols.

Harpoon launchers


OTO Melara 76mm gun, seen from the bridge

Inside the Intrepid - not for big guys


Sikorsky Seahawk on the flight deck of the Intrepid

new panties.

i would like to see how kebal those sulus are against this baby.
