.huh?? yer ker?? aku guggel la balik..huhuhuhuh

If MICA VL so good why is it that none of the French Navy ships use them nor planned to be used in their new ships of ALL Classes and Dimensions? French Air Force and Navy  use the air launch version 1 - 80 km !

3rd) malaysia like foreign equipments and training included. Any deal must include Tot and etc etc.  I dont think ST will agree to TOT

then its understandable if we choose mica. Maybe people expect more since the price of single frigate quite high

then this role engaging enemy aircraft are solely the airforce which why mrca come to mind. Now i understand haha

SIGH .....Why Bother ?

In the United Kingdom, systems represent the biggest percentage of the price of a warship  70% compared to 30% for the hull.

The same trend holds true in Australia where the costs are 33% for “platform design, hull,machinery, and equipment” versus 41% for combat systems. Logistical support and training and project management make up the remaining costs.

At the end the Australian Cost mimics the UK costs.

We are more than likely to be looking at cost over runs in the future factoring in Inflation, Cost of Material (10 year development of the SGPV ), Currency Fluctuation, Project Management ,TOT/IP...... OH... JUST CONJECTURE AND JUST TROLLING !

solly no understandling ! Jokes aside ...each class is pretty well armed (except for the NGPV - weapons wise and its speed only ) but they all lack CIW's. And no one considers all these ships as OPV's or Corvettes but as  VERY CAPABLE Light Frigates.

We should since we have a huge urban areas.
we are in the process of improving urban warfare after all.

why?

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 and Malaysia comes into the picture.

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.
