I dont know can answer or not

everywhere in SEA got new militray purchase, we are one of the only that have not done any significant purchase apart from the Gowind purchase

but from the rumored gowind specs, kinda a little disappointment that it cant even afford a proper ciws for that kind of price


So many list to buy but no money spared by govement 

K2 in early production cost more than usd15mil.
now they manage to drive it down toward usd9mil depending on equipment adding on.
Amx still farking expensive fully equip with all the gadget it will cost you around usd27mil

As for AV8 the biggest problem it have is to developed 12 variants in one go. That crazy and over ambitious, it certainly will drive up the cost significantly.
too many variant; too little on economy of scale.
Apparently those who involved in these deal forget that we are not US.

Well currently APC is no longer cheaps as it use to be, now it developed into a whole new level of ifv, take cv90s or amv for example it take them billions of dollars to developed into current level.

Lastly I dun think it fairs to compare anoa and av8.
Av8 is on different level in term of protection, situation awareness, ncw, weapons, and role in the battlefield.

The question is does Boustead really need an upgrade?

Remember PT.PAL also is in a Tot Scheme with Damen for building the Sigma PKR 10514 with a 2 ships programme. PT.PAL didn't need any upgrades to it's shipyard. The only thing that PT.PAL need is to build is for the submarine facility & machines for the korean sub.

well depend on doctrine for apc.
Some treat it as low cost disposable battle taxi but it only apply on those whose have large quantities of infantry.
some prefer high qualities of apc and ifv to provide valuable fire support, intel, scouts, anti tank, anti air and protection for its infantry.
lots of country going toward quality values

AV8 is supposed to be backbone for the 'future' malaysian army.the condor is old as shit but still workable

why would the MA buy something that would be obsolete once its on the ground?the AV-8 is going to be the main vehicle for the next 30-40 years

the Anoa was developed out of desperation.they needed an APC that could be made quick and cheap,doesnt care if its shit

can something like the anoa provide a cheap solution to the condor?yes for the immediate future.is it any better than the condor?no

TNI wants to establish more motorized units,thus it can be understandable for them to use the Anoa.the MA is trying to move forward to a new phase of fighting capability,the cheap Anoa is not what they need

btw,as a vehicle commander the notion that IFVs are disposable is     

if the AV8 provides better protection,better fire support and better C&C then yes

the presence of ATGMs doesnt mean APCs need to be fodder.tanks are just as susceptible to anti armour fire

why provide soldiers with body armour,helmets and NODs while snipers could take them out?

that depend on how you look at it.
I will write down the main spec.

Armor
It will 360° protection against 12.7mm caliber ap round.
AV8 C4ISR systems - Thales
HF and VHF radio communications system - STE
OICS - Thales VSys-net
optronics - Thales Catherine XP, DNGS TI and Sophie TAS/C

Variant

Surveillance - Rheinmetall Vingtaqs II (€36mil for development, intergration, documentation, training and equipment) 24unit
Two men turrets, atgm, rws - denel G130, G130+Ingwe atgm system, denel rws (€340mil include intergration, development, documentation, training and atgm missile) 178units.

There are still a few more varianta not much news I have on its.

We'll never know until deftech start the production of these machines
But in terms of estimation, a baseline pure apc FNSS Pars 8x8 "long-wheelbase version" (without weapons) would cost $800,000, so go figure

Malaysian 8x8 evaluation phase

From left to right,
APC PIRANHA III - $1,200,000
PARS 8X8 - $1,000,000
ROSOMAK - $2,900,000

Indonesia is definitely not in a position to execute an incursion on foreign soil. Yes, they are on shopping spree but the quantity is way inadequate to protect their territories. Their military in general couldnt even form an effective expeditionary force which requires a sizable airlift and sea lift to different part of the region within shortest possible notice. Luckily, like 191 member nations across the world which are under the umbrella of United Nation, emphasis on economy, wide spread social media for sympathy. Otherwise, Singapore would have shot down all their planes and sank their fleet and taking Riau Peninsula from the Indonesian.

Anyway big country is not invincible. History has proven, when JPN annihilated the Chinese air power and raped Chinese cities apart. The Chinese do not have the capability to resist simply because naval power was like almost from little to none and they possessed limited air power. If SG decided to whack Indonesia for some apparent reasons, Indonesia will probably be experiencing what the Chinese experienced in WW2. Personally i think its unlike to happen.

invade who? msia? no lar, msia and singapore is important for indon economy, and indon govt now taking economy seriously
just hope next indon leader is not someone crazy ultranationalist leader 

7. AEW

Photoshop detected

Ini baru ori, but surely cannot buy cuz israel tech

I read on a magazine two years ago they are updating the radar improve coverage to 360° and reduce some of its blind spot.
Perhaps it still under development. 

Iirc they are adding more cell module into the radar hence increase in coverage and reduce in blind spot.
They even will upgrade several thing like the mission computer, ew and so on.
