Bila ada wang boros je.
bila tak ada wang baru tau susah.
sigh. What to do.

if u google a bit, u can see Mil helicopters have more crash case than any European heli,
cheaper yes,
tough no,
easier to maintain, idk bout that, they say russian spare parts are very hard to get

russia parts from what I heard is very difficult to get when u are not nearby to each other. The nearest oem we can get is from india. They dont keep surplus and they only made it when requested or ordered.

military have their own market, of course civilian will have difficulties in getting military parts

american often salvage from their bone yard and keep a stock inventory. Russian is cheap but after service quite bad.

so is Mi-17, crashed mainly bcoz of technical issues..
i dun like blackhawk anyway

a quote from Georgia's Mindef which decided to change all russian helos in their arsenals to American utility helos
>>Defence Minister explained the reason for replacement of the Soviet helicopter fleet by the U.S. ones. "It is very expensive to maintain the Soviet helicopters. Procurement of the spare parts is problematic and in most cases it is practically impossible to get this service without corruption deals. Considering all the above-mentioned facts we took a hard but right and logical decision," declared Irakli Alasania."
sos

do Vietnam and Cambodia produce the spare parts? no

our air force will pick M-17V if there is no issue, but they didn't..and i believe there are strong reasons for why they didn't pick Mi-17..and choose more expensive Eurocopter..
it is normal for helicopter to crash, but would u pick a car that have more bad safety records than pick another car that's a bit expensive but rather better safety record?

Meh k2 quite heavy.

I think our shipyard can already build such a boat. But it's much cheaper to buy.

why not aircraft with anti-ship capabilities?

Sigh I'm currently very dissapointed and sad with the security and safety conditions at sabah.
Not on the terrorists but the Pilak with IC doing all sort of crime menyamun, murder and kidnapping children going on lile wildfire.
One of my relative were killed by those motherfarker yesterdays night.
In my heart I hope the government take extreme measures on security issue in sabah like what we did during malaya insurgent by whipping those as$ hole out of sabah and bringpeace to us sabahan.

Yes I'm angry, sad and lost my kesabaran on the security measures.
