I read in Dzirhan fb page told that according to his reliable source, China Navy didnt landed & excercised at James Shoal at all..they only did it at Paracel Island

any comment?

Yes they are.... only Paracel. Not in james shoal. It is closely monitored by RMN. fyi... RMN is shadowing their activities very2 close... eventhough some people said we didnt perform our duty...we didnt intercept them. Starting from their 1st sail from China we knew that already...thanks to our allies of course. We feed each other...

who's the allies..s'pore? taiwan? japan? US? tell us~

Yg selalu buat eks dgn kita tu kira allies la.... of course they have interest also. But changing info will benefit both to counter PLA dreams

so, there's no need for us to bruhaha isnt it?

no wonder recently china gave live pandas to us..seems like China did respect the diplomatic relationship with us, for a time being

mana pandan panda tu? Sorry never been to zoo for ages?

Malaysia does sign for its Tiger HAP?
By William Steuer | 28 January 2014 Thursday

France proposed sale of six Tiger HAP used.

This is a case that lasts for months already: the sale of six attack helicopters Tiger HAP (Support Protection) used in Malaysia, which showed for a long time its desire to strengthen its capacity to support close fire. Taken from the stocks of the Light Aviation Army (Alat) and delivered to "Standard 1" or the one currently used by France in overseas operations, these helicopters have been delivered from the beginning of the year 2014. But the signing of the contract does not come.

"This project equipment had experienced a big boost early last year," says a close case. Early 2013, Malaysia is experiencing a difficult security situation, linked to land claims Philippine rebels on the state of Sabah in effect. Events which led to several weeks of military action (Operation "Daulat"), mobilizing many local air assets.

As early as July 2013, the French offer comes on the table Malaysian military, while wishing to have helicopters early 2014. The agreement provided for the delivery of Tiger HAP set configuration "Standard 1", but the missile capacity of the new standard just HAD to arrive unit. Helicopters are therefore fitted with formidable 30mm cannon, rockets and possibly air-to-air Mistral missiles.

Since the pressure is slightly settled and signed long in coming, but the French team remain confident and hope to properly hang the sale to their list of 2014 the Asia-Pacific region rich in opportunities in the short and medium term for the French defense industry. Kuala Lumpur is already good customer of Airbus products Helicopters, with a recent order of 12 EC725 Caracal whose deliveries began in December 2012 and are now completed.

Huh? Tiger Attack Chopper for MAF? Since when? Or this just another croc n bull story?

Let's wait for official announcement, I think MAF already choose the tigers from the very beginning since 2010
And the lahad datu incident only puts the plan on high gear

Just dunno which version we might get

HAP variant unlikely.. I just want to know what anti-armor missile it going to be equid

I still think it best for malaysia to upgrade it SAM capabilities + AEWC + more anti-ship missile

or..or..we buy china's ZW-10 attack heli..to ease the tensions between us a bit..lel

Rafale with 300 kilotonne nuclear warhead
