QUOTE Raytheon is in discussions with a number of operators of the Boeing F/A-18 Hornet combat aircraft regarding an active electronically scanned array (AESA) upgrade to their legacy fleet, a company official told IHS Jane's on 9 July. "We have been talking primarily with the FMS [Foreign Military Sales] users of the legacy Hornets … as there are a number of operators who are actively extending their Hornet service lives out to 2040," said James Hvizd, Vice President of International Business Development and Strategy, Raytheon Space and Airborne Systems, speaking at the Farnborough Airshow 2012. Hvizd explained that whereas previously talks on AESA upgrades had centered on the improvement in performance they bring, the emphasis of these discussions has shifted to keeping legacy aircraft operationally airworthy. "It has always been a tactical relevance question, but it is now becoming a sustainment and availability question - where in 2025 are you going to get parts for a [legacy] radar that was built in the mid-1990s?", he said. While Hvizd declined to name any potential customers, FMS operators of the legacy Hornet comprise Australia, Canada, Finland, Kuwait, Malaysia, Spain, and Switzerland |

QUOTE(ikmal2129 @ Sep 28 2013, 11:17 PM) i thought indonesia leopard similar to sg leopard, but its not, What you are referring is the first batch of Leopard 2A4 delivery. Indonesia ordered a total of 103 Leo 2 + 10 Supporting Vehicles (ARV & Bridge Layer). 61 units are the Rheinmetall MBT Revolution (designated as the Leopard 2RI) and the rest are the refurbished Leo 2A4. The Leo 2RI will be the last batches to be delivered as it needed major upgrade from the Leo 2A4 into the MBT Revolution by Rheinmetall. (look at that road,lol) sg leopard look more compact and sexy to.me The Leo 2RI is quite similar to the Leo 2SG. Rheinmetall displayed the MBT Revolution during Indo Defence Expo 2012 shown from this pic below:  Singapore operates a combination of Leo 2SG & Leo 2A4.

QUOTE(MilitaryMadness @ Sep 22 2013, 09:17 PM) Is no one in Malaysia seriously thinking of manufacturing some slat/cage armor for ATM armored vehicles? It couldn't be that hard,I don't think there's any high-tech processes involved. Indeed the slat armour is decidedly low-tech. While MALBATTs APCs look seriously vulnerable, their mission is peacekeeping and while The Battle Of Mogadishu is still fresh in mind, their mission is Lebanon is fairly peaceful. There is actually no need for extra stuff, unlike those 'peacekeepers' in Iraq and Afghanistan.A little apprehensive seeing Malbatt's Condors & Land rovers in Lebanon being so bare,no extra armor. |
