From time-time proven that our armed forces were very weak in PR.

True, maybe the MKN should take over this matter

Like ops fajar in aden...after bunga melati 2 captured. The tri service are really in battle mode to storm the ship. Paskal, Paskau, GGK started their training & rehearsal once inderapura & lekiu left Lumut. Everyday...boarding, firing, spierig etc. I dont know how many amounts of ammo they brought that time. On the day...during that night when all assault boats & helos were ready... decision from  PM thru MKN... pay the money. All were dissapointed..... sampai balik sini org cakap PASKAL standard basuh darah kambing je...bagi makan KFC je.

on ur personal experience,would they hv done the ops successfully?one sincere question

i read somewhere tht paskal helped in a mission with french special operations n sarkozy personally mentioned them in an article but later googled cant find anymore...is this true of their involvement?

Actually...everything related to military ops is under MKN already. They are the link between political decision & military action. So normally politics always on the top

Tiger HAP Procurement Finalised This Year????



A report by William Steuer on Janaury 28 titled “La Malaisie signera-t-elle pour ses Tigre HAP ?“
which literally translated as “Will Malaysia Sign For Its Tiger HAP?” and published in Air&Cosmos
portal is indeed interesting and something which is very much welcomed.

As has been demostrated during Ops Daulat in March 2013, there is an apparent need by the Malaysian Army
to have a forward deployed, Close Air Support (CAS) platform such as attack helicopter, which is able to provide
aerial suppression fire close to ground troop’s enemy contact.

According to the report, as early as July 2013, the French has offered  to the MAF for the
delivery of six Eurocopter Tiger HAP attack helicopters taken from the French Army’s ALAT stock.

Tiger HAP

The Tiger HAP/HCP (Hélicoptère d'Appui Protection, French for "Support and Escort Helicopter" / Hélicoptère de Combat Polyvalent French for "Multipurpose Combat Helicopter") is a medium-weight air-to-air combat and fire support helicopter built for the French Army.

It is fitted with a chin-mounted GIAT 30 mm gun turret and can carry 68 mm SNEB unguided rockets or 20 mm machine cannons for the fire support role as well as Mistral air-to-air missiles. France's 40 HAP were delivered by 2012 at a cost of €27m/unit (~US$36m) in 2012 prices.

Tiger HAD

The Tiger HAD (Hélicoptère d'Appui Destruction, in French or Helicoptero de Apoyo y Destrucción in Spanish for "Support and Destruction Helicopter") version is essentially identical to the HAP version, but with 14% more engine power available due to the upgraded Enhanced MTR390 engines (1,000 kW / 1,341 shp) and a better ballistic protection, as a result of the specific requests made by the Spanish Army. It will be equipped with the Hellfire II, and the Spike ER anti-armour missiles.

The helicopter is suited for a support and fire suppression role. It was selected by the Spanish Army and the French Army Light Aviation (ALAT) decided to upgrade most of their HAP helicopters to the HAD variant. In December 2004, Spain ordered 24 of the HAD variant and France ordered 40 HADs. France's 40 HAD will cost €35.6m/unit (~US$48m) in 2012 prices.

French DGA receives first Tiger HAD helicopter from Eurocopter

24 April 2013

The French defence procurement agency (DGA) has received the first production Tiger Hélicoptère Appui-Destruction (HAD) fire-support helicopter from Eurocopter for use by French Army aviation units.

Received after the helicopter's military qualification by the DGA on 10 April, the delivery is part of a contract signed by the Organisation for Joint Armament Cooperation (OCCAR) in August 2004 for a total of 40 HAD helicopters on behalf of France.

Eurocopter Group France executive officer and global business and services vice-president Dominique Maudet said: "With the Tiger HAD, Eurocopter further expands the operational capabilities of a combat helicopter family, which has demonstrated its mission effectiveness and performance in highly challenging military deployments."

Essentially identical to the Hélicoptère d'Appui Protection (HAP) helicopter currently in service with the French Army, the helicopter features upgraded MTR390 engines, improved ballistic protection, and a new optronic sighting system and electronic warfare suite, as well as an identification, friend or foe (IFF) system.

Designed to conduct support and fire suppression missions, the helicopter can also be fitted with the PARS 3 LR anti-tank missiles, originally developed for the German Army's UHT version, in addition to the AGM-114 Hellfire II air-to-surface missiles.

“With the Tiger HAD, Eurocopter further expands the operational capabilities of a combat helicopter family, which has demonstrated its mission effectiveness and performance in highly challenging military deployments."

Twenty four helicopters have also been ordered by the Spanish Army, which also features six Tiger HAP support and escort variants retrofitted for fire support and attack operations in December 2004.

The French Army plans to operate a total of 80 Tiger helicopters, which include 40 HAP and 40 HAD variants for its tactical missions worldwide.

The helicopters have extensively been used during the French military operations in Afghanistan, Libya and most recently in Mali.

Powered by two Turbomeca Rolls-Royce MTR390 turboshaft engines, the Eurocopter Tiger is a two-seat attack aircraft designed to conduct precise day and night surveillance and fire support missions.
