Kalau nak weapons pacakage yg bagus daripada US wetdream je banyak. Baik kita ambik terus daripada europe.
Cik su kita masih boleh mod lagi. Easy and simple solution.

The story of Indian Navy's largest warship INS Vikramaditya
By Shiv Aroor | 23 November 2013 Saturday

The 45,000 ton aircraft carrier was ceremonially transferred to the Indian Navy on November 16, nearly five years later than promised and over $1.5 billion over contracted cost.

Video, 30 minutes.

"If the United States is to counterbalance China successfully, it must be able to threaten China’s energy security. Ideally, the United States should be in a position in which it can persuade the Persian Gulf oil producers, if necessary, to turn off the tap and decline to supply China with oil and gas. Furthermore, the United States must be able to put in
place anti-access, area denial strategies (a) in the eastern Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal to blockade the Malacca, Sunda and Lambok Straits; and (b) in the western Indian Ocean and the Arabian Sea to blockade the arc between the Bab el Mandab to the Strait of Hormuz. Indonesia, India, and Iran will be critical to the success of a recalibrated American grand strategy to contain China " Samir Tata.

single nimitz-class's costs:

Construction Costs – USD $4.5 billion
Operating and Support Costs – USD $14 billion
Other Costs – USD $1 billion

the cost of one carrier can buy a fleet of 30 modern corvette/frigate ..while the maintenance cost for a carrier per month is like supporting the development cost of a state for 20 years! (i've compared with 2014 Selangor's development budget which is RM1.85 bil).. hell naw for carrier.. shocking.gif

No idea what you mean.... but i think that logically that if, God forbid, a war was to break out involving China then its of the utmost practicality that the US gets bases or staging areas which are more secure than the current ones in South Korea and Japan. The Philippines and Vietnam (they offered the use of Cam Ranh Base ) are too close to China for comfort.

The only other logical place would be Singapore, Indonesia or Malaysia, and out of the three Indonesia is the most strategic as by basing in Indonesia together with India they can effectively "police" the eastern Indian Ocean and Bay of Bengal and to blockade the Malacca, Sunda and Lombok Straits.

I think that's where Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia comes into the picture.
- Thailand for the Eastern side of SCS, Sepanggar for Western side of SCS
- Malaysia / Singapore Straits of Melaka
- Singapore - Sunda Straits or even Australia from Christmas Island
- Thailand - Bay of Bengal , Straits of Melaka

Which leaves just the Lombok Straits unprotected ( Christmas Islands to fr away from Lombok ) . The US and India can police Eastern the Indian Ocean under a different arrangement.

there was a report, i think from the ozzies on the US a2/ad and AirSea battle doctrine which stated that the only "true" allies the americans can count on in asia-pac are the japs, skoreans and ozzies.
the rest... whistling.gif
