not taking politics here, but would the recent fuel price hike affect the operating cost/expenditure of our forces? and what type of fuel do they use anyway ? havent heard much about the use of biodiesel by the armed forces, but i supposed i read about it somewhere long time ago...

anyone mind to enlighten? thanks.

for sure, but the military got fuel directly from petronas

what are u suggesting? upgrade all of ATM assets with NGV gas tank? lol

Stormer bukan used as APCs ka?

UK use Scorpion as recon vehicle, but modify it into light tank

i suppose itll be a symbiotic relationship then as petronas also relies on MAF to protect their offshore installations
not suggesting or insinuating anything. merely an honest and sincere inquiry out of pure curiosity.

anyone become military items fans ?

Another set of skill Pandura have is, they can guide air attack (CCT) to the ground!
iinm even TACP
oit mana lama menghilang, spy2 aku kat tempat kerja ko pun suma dah kene hantar gi dubai

PASKAU SST normally tasked with GLTD, didn't know PANDURA platoon also have that capability.

which one? the CCT or the TACP?

not all of the Pathfinder are capable, but most of them are!

Not familiar with CCT or TACP (short form in English?). SST is Skn Sayap Tempur, Tactical Assault. Did they change the name already?

I am told that this is a Panser made in Indon and we are buying from them. Why can't we develop our own Panser?

We bought them for UN mission

Google AV8 dude, where u been?
