..macam ada harapan AWE&C di awal???

Rather than buthurt on the article itself.
we should focus on the lesson learn.
The biggest flaw occur in how fast the dca sop alert the military.
another question arise would be how much we are able to control our airspace in grey areas like between border.
it show how disconnect of SEA aviation security and trafiic control.
of course it also show that how little money we invested in aviation airspace security despite 9/11 show how devastating a terrorist attack can be.
Are our military have access to the dca and atc data.
can our military takeover the dca atc role in an event of terrorist attack.
also do our immigration have access to interpol passport database in the immigration check point on all malaysia check entery point.

i'm surprised DCA and military aren't sync , yeah like you said before, MH370 is a good case study...... if it's not happen , we will never knw our weakness, but the sad things its involve public.... we should hv stimulator program or crisis mock

They claim our air force is incompetent but, 13 years ago, some towelheads grabbed control of their plane, rammed it into some towers, making it crash and burn, and what did the world most trained, most sophisticated air force did?

Not a goddamn thing.

These kind of thing, it tends to happen with little to no notice, and it is difficult to anticipate.

how about vera E, is it switch on during training / hostile threat only or 24 hours non stop

MALAYSIA Airlines MH370 flew over or near at least three military radar stations in northern Peninsular Malaysia, yet the four-man crew that operated each station somehow mysteriously missed the radar blips on their screens.

But this is hardly surprising since the Defence Ministry admitted that between 2008 and mid-2011, there were a total of 2,508 Malaysian airspace intrusions by the Singaporean air force.

The Singaporean intrusions are more easily detectable due to its location and predicable flight paths but what about other parts of the country?

Perhaps the air force realises this and has since equipped itself with advanced radar systems through the Malaysian Air Defense Ground Environment Sector Operations Center III (MADGE) Programme.

But then the air force failed in doing the very thing they were trained to do – detecting an unidentified plane flying in an erratic manner in our airspace.

In fact, the plane flew over Penang and one can only imagine what would have happened if the perpetrators decided to bring it down there.

The Malaysia military took full delivery of one of the advanced Thales Raytheon Systems early last year with an integrated Sentry command and control system and the Ground Master 400 3D radar.

According to Thales, the MADGE system operates in real-time and features multi-radar tracking and a flexible human-machine interface.

The GM 400 radar also provides long-range surveillance capabilities for the Royal Malaysian Air Force.

Its reach is up to 400 km and it is more than sufficient to detect the MH370.

It is now clear that the four-man crew in the three air defence stations, who were supposed to be watching the radar screens, either did not notice or failed to report to their superiors that an unidentified plane was flying across the country.

Had they done so, the air defence high command of the air force in Kuala Lumpur would presumably have scrambled fighter jets to identify the plane, make contact with it and finally guide it to a safe landing.

But then it was allowed to fly on and the rest is history. By the time the air force realised it, it was too late.

Military insiders say such incidents are supposed to be tracked real time and not based on recordings.

Hence the millions spent on the radar systems meant nothing to the nation. The Sukhois in Gong Kedak, Terengganu and the FA-18s in Butterworth, Penang were stationed there for years for exactly this type of situation.

We now wonder whether they will ever see any action. 

So were people sleeping on the job or was lackadaisicalness enveloping the air force? 

When Defense Minister Datuk Seri Hisammuddin Hussein was posed this question, all he had to say was that all standard operating procedures were followed and the priority was now to locate the missing plane.

Whether it is a flawed system or our men sleeping on the job, one thing for sure, this episode exposes Malaysia’s vulnerability.

Air Force caught napping, MH370 could have been saved

There is few flaw in these article.
1. It did not specified sop between the dca and tudm.
2. We only have one set of the ground master would it capable of covering the entire airspace?
3. During the flight mh370 going toward 42000 altitude where ground master range is around 30200 altitude. Out of radar range.
4. Which radar last detect it? Ship or ground? Does it have madge soc intergrate?
5. Tudm sop on commercial aircraft radar signatures?

The article is just assuming tudm not doing jobs.
failed specified all the above conditions.

it seems Media trying hard to despise Airforce, they all out in this case

Any infos....what 11 RGK ULK is doing right now?? Or PASKAU element??

how about vera E, is it switch on during training / hostile threat only or 24 hours non stop

Good, more budget for new equipment. Since they're b****ing, mig29n replacement and more radar should do, nuri replacement and sea assets.

ape yang aku nampak dorang takde pendirian. dorang akan ubah pendapat bila keadaan memihak kepada dorang
