QUOTE(KYPMbangi @ Aug 30 2014, 01:10 AM) AV8 30mm is out in parade rehearsal The turret look quite large for a 30mm gun. Btw, fresh from factory no digital camo kah? The rest on inventory macam sudah convert to digital minus the trucks of course

QUOTE(Dreadstar @ Aug 30 2014, 07:55 AM) From those pictures... i saw only our army wore vest. Any particular reason ? "Public relations" nya motif ka? during sulu invasion.. some pakai some didnt pakai, that why some kena shot injury now all wear, easier. Not a direct order must wear from what i know of but just to keep thing simpler all pakai and get used to it US oni wear body armor when entering hot zone or live round, saw the yellow blank firing attachment (BFA) mean no live round loh

QUOTE(junchuan @ Sep 1 2014, 04:31 PM) Just realised US currently has 3 tarawa class amphib assault ships with capability for helis, tanks,apcs,1000+ troops and 6 harriers and they're planning to get rid of it by scrapping.. Why dont we propose to US to buy 1/2 for amphib capability since we setting up marine base at bintulu can probably get it cheap and get better relationship with US and fulfil our mpss requirement with an even better ship. Gud idea??  rmn dont really like turbine ship because it cost alot to operate plus it too heavy and no point getting a ship but no equipments.. US should offer LCAC and AAV together with ship baru worth it

QUOTE(azriel @ Sep 2 2014, 12:14 PM) Yes. Looks like it is to avoid the commander sight near the hatch of the TC by looking at this pic.  But very vulnerable & easy target for snipers. Even the Israeli Merkava Mk.4 TC got shot in the head by Hamas in Operation Protective Edge by only exposing his head just above the hatch. (Pic credited to ggk@panggilanpertiwi) Thre a remote operated gun system but i think it too expensive option which the army didn't pucrhase. Forget its name ad. Plus, I think the commander does not see the need for such expensive option given that this is just like our first tank divisions. Gaining experience and updating doctrine would be more vital. Maybe next time will get much more advance tanks compared to this soviet design base on T72

QUOTE(azriel @ Sep 2 2014, 02:17 PM) The name acronym is RCWS. IMO it is not whether the RCWS is expensive or not but most probably it is due to the cramped interior of the T-Series tank. Just imagine adding another LCD monitor + joysticks controller into an already cramped space interior. Could be that or all other reason. Personally, asking the commander to stand tat high without even a side protection like the one found on adnan. Is death sentence to the commander during operation.. so easy sniper target or shell fragment. The T-series tank are designed to be small and agile. Not spacious and comfortable like the western one. Btw the t series is also famous for it blow off turret. Reason for is the way and whre the ammunition are stored inside the tank crew compartment instead of the turret like in western one. But in malaysia, fast and agile is more important than heavy comfortable tanks. Hahaha
