if i remembered it correctly, they're under Army..

Probably, but it also looks like a selex radar

Yes, under army
This makes interesting question, does air force intends to take over the medium range system (MEADS)?

So..
Air force - Medium Extended Air Defense System (MEADS)
Army - Very Short Range Air Defense Systems (VSHORAD)

Hei hei what's going on here?

ISIS fighters capture Mosul Kirkuk and Tikrit, Iraqi military and police change into civilian wear,bolts south to Baghdad and abandons entire northern Iraq sector,leaving airports and military installations in ISIS hands. ISIS reports A LOT of vehicles and weapons are captured. Baghdad is getting desperate,Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki announcing state of emergency and offer to give arms and support to any militia force willing to help Iraqi army retake the cities.

Any chance of a ISIS push on Baghdad?

Good morning guys.....happy to be back

Hmm a lot of Military exercises going on these few weeks. We had Cope Taufan, CARAT and now Haringgaroo.

Must be potent fuel for those paranoid "Kehadiran tentera asing tanda kemasukan agenda yahudi amerika, Allah peliharalah Malaysia dari kejahatan mereka" crowd.

i think it just a give or a little souvenir given by the Chinese while evaluating the system

i hear while during evaluation phase, both the army and air force will together evaluate and determine which is more suitable operator

in my honest opinion, army (GAPU) should get it due to their familiarization with mobile weapon based vehicles. Save time and money. And most importantly, they are already trained in air defense

It's just a matter of time that a China oil rig will be near Malaysia.

Ex Cope Taufan 2014: Flankers, Fulcrums and The Raptors

First and foremost, I would like to thank En Fitri Shukri for his tweet pertaining Ex Cope Taufan 2014 air exercise between the United States Air Force (USAF) and the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) over the Straits of Melaka (as I was told by another source) which is still on-going until June 20.

The two pictures that he had attached (credited to Victor from MalaysianWings) are perhaps the two stunning pictures of the exercise involving the American F-22 Raptors and the Malaysian Mig-29N Fulcrum and Su-30MKM Flanker.





As has been highlighted so many times through interviews of USAF squadron commanders participating in this year exercise, the opportunity to fly with/against the Fulcrum and the Flanker is something which is not to be missed. The same goes to the other side (the Malaysians of course).

Having able to fly close with stealth fighters is an opportunity which should not being let to fly away considering the fact that modern air combats nowadays had always ended long before the two beleaguering aircraft could merge for dogfight, no thanks to the Beyond Visual Range Air To Air Missile (BVRAAM).

One should not forget that situation in Asia Pacific is still volatile especially in the East China Sea as well as in the Korean Peninsular. The Korean People’s Army Air Force (KPAAF) operates approximately 40 Mig-29B/UB fighters to defend Pyongyang from the external aggressors. Despite the Fulcrum being the most modern in KPAAF arsenal, which also consist of Mig-21 Fishbed, Mig-23 Flogger as well as Chinese made F-7 Airguard, the F-6 and F-5, by all means, the Malaysian Migs are far more capable and modern than the North Korean examples.

On April 2013, USAF had sent its F-22 Raptors to join a military exercise conducted in South Korea. Training with/against the Malaysian Migs may perhaps be the closest feeling that the American pilots could get on the North Korean Migs.

The same goes to having able to fly with/against the Malaysian Fulcrum. The United States has always consider a near peer conflict in Asia Pacific as future threats to its hegemony in the region. China’s PLAAF, for example operates a wide array of Flanker variants consist of 76 Su-27SK/UBK, 165 J-11A/B/BS, 73 Su-30MKK and 24 J-16. While the Chinese MKK/MK2 and Malaysian MKM belongs to the same MK family, the Su-30MKM employ Thrust Vectoring Control (TVC) and canards compared to the Chinese example which does not have any.

Operating out of Kadena AFB in Okinawa, Japan which is relatively just next door to mainland China, the USAF Raptor drivers deployed there on rotational basis, need to get the feel of fighting such adversary and Ex Cope Taufan 2014 is the best platform to hone such skills.

Nevertheless, it would be something surprising if the outcome of DACT and BFM exercise conducted during Ex Cope Taufan would be revealed to the public.

Indonesian Air Force to deploy fighter planes to disputed area

Deputy chief of staff of the TNI-AU, Air Vice Marshall Sudipo Handoyo has said on 9/6/2014 that work has begun to upgrade an old Dutch airfield at Paloh,west Kalimantan and to permanently establish an Indonesian presence there.

Land around the airfield will also be expanded into an military outpost and expects around 500 personnel from the Army and Navy will be stationed there to respond to any "Malaysian provocations". Recently there has been confrontations between the Indonesian and Malaysian navies at the waters off Tanjung Datu,at the border of the Malaysian state of Sarawak and the Indonesian province of Kalimantan.

like tat little want do outpost.. macam indo very kecil hati only

I tot msia only send one small boat patrol there while indon mobilized quite a number of asset to tanjung datu.

either indon over-reaction or msia under play the incident?

What a beautiful picture that is. Im quite disappointed by the lack of photos coming out from cope taufan so far. Takkan la the raptors are stealth to dslr cameras also?

What a sight having the f22 and two legendary russian fighters airborne together
