What an ugly green

All those are based on previous budget.

Usually new budget is for new procurement project. But army would like an attack heli as well as sam and arty the most

Airforce would like a new radar system

Navy would be the ldp

But i got a feeling army this year may get what they want. Mostly because the item in their wish list cheapest except the attack heli and sam of course
More like they copy n paste the grey on the green

Malaysia camo look nicer for their darker tone

What are the hopefull candidates for mmrca?

Lease or straight purchase?

f-15 is mainly air superiority fighter, good for defending air space especially small island like Singapore. They no need for large bombing capacity.

f-18 is multirole fighter, suitable for us due to out small procurement number and most important it twin engine

f-16 is also a multirole figther but it single engine something that our air force have avoided. Mmrca i think twin engine with two seater variant have a higher chance of winning

trivia... we always avoided having what the neighbour have, that why u wont see the same inventory

darker tone in paddy field. I wonder how it will perform while on wet paddy field

Under the MRCA, the RMAF is looking to equip three squadrons with 36 to 40 new fighter aircraft.

i think this is a little far fetch.. 18 is a more realistic number considering our budget is not big and going by Malaysia, sure there will be extra customization made on request by the air force which add to the overall cost

but then again, need confirmation on this

Mana ada that much duit.. remember army and navy have their own long wish list as well

no.. it not from goverment source news, it written by someone, onlline news anyone can write anything. Take with a pinch of salt

no far no official letter request for information, therefore, we wont know the actual number until the tender notice is up. For now, it just anyone guess. My guess is 18 to be more reasonable

hawk.. i heard will have extended service life making their immediate replacement not so urgent or in the next replacement phase after the mrca

mig29 have alot of maintenance issues or so again i heard

nope.. still same

you buy this 100 missile, US give you 20 biji for your own usage at your own country, the remaining they keep until you request for it even if you already pay full amount
they dont want give , you cant do anything also.
I got this from recent iraq purchase where US will help store some of the purchaseD missile, canot remember whre i read it though

That why, mahathir was angry, I buy, I paid full price, I canot use and switch our weapon purchase to europe and russian

not sure, i asked the same question as well but it seem the air force is mainly interested in twin engine and and best two sit variant

dog fight? Most likely they will send the mkm and mig up instead of f18, better equid for the task on hand

anyway, with Malaysia wanting a mid range SAM, i am sure most our immediate neighbours will have their eyes blinking once it purchased

sadly after the mh17 incident, chances of buk being selected sure going down the drain

SLAMRAAM? are you sure?

I was told that it was like mentioned once during meeting then no news after that because other cheaper and equally range system like for example the buk are considered. pantsir again i also heard for point defense purpose but no news after that
They say they try to opt for russian or europe even maybe china based system first before american

from past news, i can see why

s300/s400 got news said offered to us but again seeing our budget Especially if 1M duit masuk pocket still on, no hope lah
no point having one battalion, should have a few then can consider nation wide air defence

well i doubt we will be getting any sam tis rmk.. it was in the back burner for so long

maybe sph since some of it already under testing in malaysia, just tunggu duit masuk
kesian malaysia, even if opposition were to take over, our arm forces will still get cuts

maybe the other variant, NASAMS since based on the same missile

pantsir kena the famous "no surplus" reason again?

well i do hope we get some good long range sam first then just medium. At least boleh tunjuk whoever come near me, i shoot u down first

what the point of having most advance figther but with risk canot shoot missile due to congress issues or half the inventory have to keep at US bases instead of our owns?

It was in the initial stage. It solved now.

Iaf procure equipment from usa because of warming ties and also diverse their inventory from western block region

Do note during india nuclear weapon programme, usa place an embargo on them. So they only can get equipment from russia

Our mig29 have spare part issue because it direct from Russia. Russia slow give spare parts. Su is from irkut while have less spare part issues and they building spare part factory here. So it another plus.

I nvr a fan of usa equipment not because i boycott them but rather the dumb restrictions they place on them. I pay full price but cant use full capabilities idea

But then again i alao heard our air force like usa made despite the restrictions placed on them because reliability issues. Russia not so. It was during mahathir time tis idea changed when we start looking from eastern block

Btw I didn't know thre such plane as super horny jets.
Must be got xtra vibration function... hahaha

Most likely searching for international customer

Usa is already too commited in its f35 programme

ugly

Replacement for?

27ngpv? i though already cancelled after only 6 was ordered (kedah class)

i always thought the new gowind is new contract after the kedah class was cancelled. nvr thought it continuation or readjustment

that mean it highly unlikely we will get new class of ship until tis 27 order is fulfil

goodbye mini dokdo
