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 |

maybe we'll consider other,more capable MBTs. the purpose of pendekar is for us to develop our own tank doctrine.
streamlining logistic supply chain? to hell with it. tell that to RMAF |

setia senantiasa!
well there are 2 (or 3) school of thought about marine corp establishment. one is naval infantry(like the venerable USMC), which is just your average intantry with additional training ,say like, 5 weeks more? usually the extra weeks are for amphibious training. the other are RRF-type,like Royal navy. these type of marine is pretty much like 10-briged for navy. as for the equipment.ACV-300 an take some of the role as amphibious vehicle. the same goes to 3-tonne truck and the new 4x4 utility vehicle(whatitsnameagain). but we still need to buy other equipments for the marine corps,like the landing craft, aav, helos,etcetc. also some large equipment 120mm mortar and artillery This post has been edited by ayanami_tard: Oct 11 2013, 04:51 AM |

QUOTE(aztechx @ Oct 14 2013, 07:18 PM) Just had a rant on how painful it is to see the majority of malaysians questioning everything they are fed with especially those related to defense procurement. And how they belittle our armed forces laughing and questioning their capabilities. Rememeber how some reacted to lahad datu? This is a disease to our so called rakyat. To be honest we are wide open to foreign interferance with such mentality here. Ive run out of words here. And i feel helpless in trying to chnage this mentality even among my friends to make it worse politician also join in pandai-pandai nk mengajar top brass on how to run military procedure. mcm skang ne la. warning shot to scare the bad guy la, tembak kaki la,etcetc.... i can guarantee 90 percent of the time that they get them ideas from hollywood film |

dah namanya patrol boat....
the thing is, if the navy deemed it is necessary to arm them ngpv to the teeth, the vessel is more than capable to be done so. the reason why rmn stick with exocet partly because of the experience and the abundance of them in rmn arsenal. tomahawk isn't that much more capable than exocet, and it is more than capable to deal with regional threat as for the samudera type vessel, the company that build them said that the design and electronic suite can be adapted into more capable corvette/light frigate. and considering that it can be built within 6 weeks, we can have at least 6 new PV of similar design within 2 years |

i think there are several occasions of heli vs heli during iran-iraq war as well as syria-israel border war in the eighties
having said that, attack helos only being deployed when the air superiority was achieved. same thing with AC-130. though for safety measures (just in case), both cobras and apaches can be equipped with sidewinder missiles them chinese and russian are also offering their version of AC-130 for export |

another reason is that unlike the army (which has bottomless coffer), the marine are quite cash-strapped(since their budget comes from navy instead of directly from DoD). they already have established logistics for the likes of huey and cobras and it would be ridiculous to retrain personnel and replace all them logistic supply chain just to induct a system.
when the Army gets their garand, the marines are still with their springfield and brodie helmet. when the army gets them M1, the marine are still with their M60A1 (A1, not A3). in a sense, most of marine equipments are hands-me-down from the army |
