seatbelt won't save u from IED blast.
spalling already kill u.

For older vehicles yeah . Seatbelt considered waste

New vehicles have 5 point seatbelts and shock seats. Spalling isn't a problem anymore with the current way vehicles are built

maybe that fella is part of SAF...

clue is maybe the fella is ex Malaysian always come to lowyat to post but he migrated to spore since.

anyway why is a fellow ISAF personnel helping to clean dead bodies from an American Humvee? Isn't that part of the US Army job? They take pride in sending back the remains of their soldiers to their families, because for americans it is a very sensitive matter.

Durr we try the best we can but if it's an IED there's a likely chance the deceased would be missing a few body parts(missing eye, fingers or feet) so we try to search for all of it to be returned home.

not sure about anything other than a 30mm round to cause IFV to become butter.

but APC accidents are very common. Just like this morning when Star newspaper reported our APC turn turtle at one of our highways that killed two of our soldiers. I am not sure if its a condor or another model.

So far not sure what caused their death, but seat belts would be very useful in accidents like this.

So its not just a MRAP with high center of gravity problem, even APCs got this problem.

As I said before,it's an inherit risk of all armoured vehicles. APC accidents are not common.

The Sibmas is an old vehicle of course no seatbelts. The higher ups didn't see the need to to install seat belts because accidents aren't frequent

Area effect weapon. Knowing your enemy has it already disrupts your planning and you will spend tremendous resources and time to destroy them.

Helis take too long to reach a target and more susceptible to ground fire

But turboprops are really one dimensional, unless you're engaging in a small scale conflict where the enemy doesn't have any AA they're pretty much confined to training

High pressure toilets like kapal terbang. Don't sit in the head when diving, I don't know why the captain told me that

I'm kind of curious for those who are at sea: what kind of entertainment allowed? The ones you mentioned above I think? What about internet? Are they still able to go online to check email/stream videos? How do they exercise when space is cramped?
*
You can bring personal electronics

Internet? Stream videos? it's a warship not a cruise liner

Exercise? Sailors exercise? HAHAHAHAHA

Then Xbox changed it

Also, interesting trivia is that some uav/remote robot use Xbox controller

Similar to Xbox controller. A heavily modified OEM version. We use them to control RWS too

iinm there are APCs in Sabah/Sarawak but only Cold War-era APCs like Sibmas and Condor which are thin-armored, and wheeled..wheeled APCs like those two they say not suitable for battlefield in LD..thats why they bring the thicker-armored and tracked Adnan APCs..

edited: after researching back last year's news..Condor APCs were the first to arrive and used in LD..afterwards 17 Adnan APCs are brought in..no Sibmas involved..
*
Condor was there first because it was wheeled. Mad dash to the front

Adnan was brought in because it was feared the enemy had RPGs and it could punch through the line

Interesting to see that the Condor was used as a mobile firing platform and raiding vehicle not as an APC while the better armoured and better armed Adnan was more infantry centric

KAD vs RMR tactics

The only armour unit in borneo is at sarawak....with only condor & sibmas (which is not suppose to be under armour corp at all). Armed vehicles that available in sabah is only G wagon in KK. Thats why at 1st days of invasion u could see only G-wagon deployed to LD.

Condor and sibmas in KAD is the relic from the 80s where anything with armour was slotted in Kor armor
