Good to read

PUTD and The Tiger

http://malaysiaflyingherald.wordpress.com/...-and-the-tiger/

please not make mistake with assembly line with Production line.

not need too worry on "Fuel consumption " .... a lot results is no detail data. .... also not sure what is load on jet
example,
Rafale with 4.7 tons internal fuel tank *0.27KM= 1270KM，but from data we got, Rafale can flight 2100km with internal tank. maybe is full weapon load results. For Typhoon, with 5tons fuel tank *0.68 = 3400, but spec we have Typhoon with internal fuel tank only can flight about 2600km.

anyway latest Rafale F3R already come with new enhance fuel consumption and maintenance cost engine Snecma M88-4 version from M88-2. more thrust version M88-X is option for customer selection, but it need more cost due to need modify on the fuselage for bigger intake hole.

OSI to support of Royal Malaysian Navy’s LCS programme


OSI Maritime Systems (OSI) has been awarded a contract by Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) to deliver integrated navigation and tactical systems (INTS) for the Royal Malaysian Navy's Gowind-class corvettes.
BNS was selected by the Royal Malaysian Navy previously to build six Gowind-class corvettes under the littoral combat ship (LCS) programme.

Under the most recent contract, OSI will supply six INTS, in addition to electronic chart precise integrated system (ECPINS) warship (W) and Warship-AIS (W-ASI), which has been designed specifically for naval operations.
The INTS is a fully scalable tactical navigation solution and has been designed to meet the requirements of the most demanding military environments from vessels to large offshore ships.
NATO STANAG 4564-type approved software designed for the military user, ECPINS-W Sub will allow warships to operate in the most difficult conditions, while W-AIS provides enhanced situational awareness for the crew.

DCNS-built ocean-capable Gowind-class corvettes can be used to conduct emerging missions such as anti-piracy, sea control and denial, combat, counter-terrorism, drug interdiction and anti-smuggling operations, oil and gas platform protection, search-and-rescue, fisheries protection, environmental protection and humanitarian support.
Capable of providing sea-keeping capability, the corvettes are armed with 12.7mm remotely controlled machine guns, 20mm machine gun, 76mm naval gun on the forward gun deck, anti-ship missiles, ship self-defence system and electronic warfare suite.

The vessel provides 360° panoramic surveillance and Special Forces operations capabilities such as a quick-launch and recovery stern-launch system for two rigid inflatable boats (RIBs) or unmanned surface vehicles (USVs).
Fitted with automatic decking to enable safe operation of a helicopter and USV, the ship is equipped with multi-function radar and can accommodate maximum of crew 75 and has endurance of two to three weeks on patrol missions between at-sea replenishment.

German air force bill for Eurofighters escalates-report

BERLIN, July 7 | Sun Jul 7, 2013 11:29am EDT
(Reuters) - The German air force's bill for an order of 180 Eurofighter jets is rising beyond the planned 14.7 billion euros, said a German magazine on Sunday.

Der Spiegel said the Luftwaffe now expected to have paid 14.5 billion euros by the end of this year for only 108 of the fighters and will pay 16.8 billion euros by 208 for 143 jets - paying more money for less fighters.

"It is correct that the cost of the Eurofighters is rising," said a ministry spokesman, but he declined to give details.

The Eurofighter multi-role Typhoon jet is manufactured by Airbus-owner EADS, Italy's Finmeccanica and Britain's BAE Systems. The manufacturers did not respond to a request for a comment on the report.

The new chief of the Eurofighter Typhoon said at the Paris Air Show last month that he will lay out plans this year to make the fighter cheaper in an increasingly competitive market.

The Eurofighter's main competitors include Lockheed Martin's F-35 jet, Dassault Aviation's Rafale fighter and the Gripen by Sweden's Saab

France: Rafale and nuclear Ayrault Talk in Malaysia
22/07 | 14:11
The possible purchase of Rafale fighter jets and nuclear power will be on the menu for the visit of the French Prime Minister in Malaysia next Monday, officials said around him.
Jean-Marc Ayrault goes next Monday on an official visit to Malaysia, during a tour that will also visit South Korea and New Caledonia.
Malaysia is the fifth partner of France in Asia - after China, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. France is the leading provider of country's defense.
Malaysia has identified five manufacturers, including Dassault for the purchase of 18 fighter jets scheduled in 2015 to replace its aging MiG-29s.
"There is interest in Malaysia for the Rafale, France is one of the choices," was recalled in the entourage of Jean-Marc Ayrault.
The Rafale of the French manufacturer will compete with the Eurofighter Typhoon consortium formed by the United Kingdom, Germany and Italy, the Swedish Saab Gripen, the F / A 18E / F Super Hornet of Boeing and Su -30 Russian Sukhoi.
Malaysia has also expressed its interest in nuclear power, which does not use at the moment, as part of an overall plan to diversify its energy sources.

"The most well-known Russian purchase of Western military equipment was the signing in June 2011 of a US$ 1.7 billion contract to buy two French-built Mistral class amphibious assault ships for the Russian Navy"
