Alamak sempit giler commander punya post. Nasib baik orang asia ni kecik2. Serupa macam dalam pendekar kot?

Aku tak tau macamana orang Russia besar camtu boleh masuk dalam tank sempit camni.

In contrast, western design macam M1 Abrams roomy giler turret dia,siap ada 3rd member pulak tu (loader). Soviet designs takde loader crew,sebab guna mesin auto-loader.


Bahagian dalam turret M1 Abrams. Commander duduk kanan, loader kiri, gunner duduk kat satu seat kat depan/bawah commander. Tengah lapang giler!


Anyway, welcome to V12!

Eh, ada Shtora IR jammer eh T-84M ni? Aku ingat export versions biasa advanced techs diorang tak sertakan?


Menyala je Shtora jammer ni bila active,macam mata

satu benda lagi,ambik gambar punya pasal PNK-6 advanced panoramic periscope kat commander's post tu saja je diorang tutup hehehe

Lai lai lai

Bersempena pengunduran US dari Afghanistan pada 2016, military assets berupa heavy equipment & vehicles bernilai USD 8 Billion akan dijual,dimusnahkan atau dibagi secara percuma. Kos total penghantaran balik ke US aje dah lebih kurang USD 5-6 Billion,so kerajaan US bercadang untuk write-off semua aset2 ni. Setakat ni Croatia dah booking 150 lori MRAP. Pembeli tanggung sendiri kos transport.

Apa lagi,meh hantar C-130 ke Bagram,angkat satu MRAP sorang!

Russian Nuclear Submarine rescues motorboat

When the crew of a small motorboat in the White Sea was caught in a storm and realized they were in too low on fuel to make it back to port, they radioed Arkhangelsk port for help. When a Mi-8 Helicopter dispatched by port authority arrived in the area to help the motorboat,everyone was shocked to see the boat already had help.

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?

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.

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.

Ah,as we're at this issue:

Indonesian Presidential candidate accused of the 'dissapearances' of dissenters

Indonesian presidential candidate, Prabowo Subianto is accused to have help arrange 'disappearances' of political dissenters,mostly students. Prabowo,who is formerly a commander with Indonesian Special Forces, KOPASSUS, and son-in-law to the late dictator Suharto has been accused of complicit involvement on the kidnapping and disappearance of up to 13 people in the last years of the Orde Baru period under Suharto.

Prabowo has denied these charges,claiming he is being made a scapegoat and someone is out to sabotage his candidacy.

Speaking of Rheinmetall, Algeria has confirmed a deal to buy assembly rights and for the setup of a factory to produce 1000 TPZ Fuchs APCs from German defense firms Rheinmetall and Ferrostaal for USD $3.7 Billion. Furthermore 54 TPZ Fuchs APCs worth USD $248 Million have already been bought as an 'off the shelf' buy. The deal includes the condition Algeria never sell its self-produced TPZ Fuchs and it would be only for use of the Algerian armed forces.

The deal is part of a wider deal between the Algerian government and German defense firms worth at least USD $10 Billion which includes the purchase of two German-built frigates from ThyssenKrupp and other various military vehicles from German manufacturers.

Looks like Algeria is shedding its old Soviet-built arsenals for new assets. Defense analysts estimate Algeria's defense budget for 2014 is about USD 10.3 Billion.

In 2012 The Algerian navy already purchased 2 Meko A200 Frigates from Blohm+Voss. Among other military assets ordered and still under construction are 3 Chinese-made frigates, 2 Russian-made Corvettes and 1 Italian-made Minesweeper. The planned Italian-made Amphibious landing ship has been delivered in January 2014 to the Algerian Navy under the name Kaalat Beni Abbes

Algerian Pantsir S-1 (NATO designation SA-22 Greyhound) Short-medium range Gun-missile Air Defence platforms under construction in Russia (Note the desert color scheme). Algeria has ordered a further 15 units on top of the 38 units ordered in 2012. Algerian Pantsir S-1 units are fitted with the 'Janus' Phased array 360-degree Radar system. Each Pantsir S-1 system is believed to cost USD $13-15 Million per unit.

The Pantsir S-1 is armed with 2 x twin barreled 30mm 2A38M AA Guns with 500 rounds each and 12 x 57E6E Surface-to-air missiles.

Ramai manpower pun tak tentu makin bagus ke tidak. Banyak negara ASEAN manpower ramai,tapi askar kerahan (Conscript) macam Thailand, Vietnam & Singapore. Malaysia fully professional army,tu yang askar sikit tapi belanja banyak,sebab service time panjang, training lebih & gaji lagi tinggi. Askar kerahan dah la kena bayar elaun aje,train basic tactics & pastu service time 12-18 bulan aje.

Banyak pros & cons antara sistem askar professional dengan askar kerahan ni.

Repost-Sorry....

Not surprising in regards of Indonesia's size and the nature of its scattered archipelago. Furthermore unlike Malaysia which is historically relatively peaceful (except during emergency period) Indonesia has in the past and is still plagued by separatist movements like in Acheh, Maluku and Irian Jaya. So a large armed forces are deployed to keep the (many) separatist movements of the far provinces under control.

Unlike Malaysia which has a Federation-style government where each of the constituent states has its own government and each state has a great deal of freedom in how each state governs itself. Putrajaya actually only has power over federal matters,for example national defense & international relations and in theory,don't have the right to say how each state should be ruled,only how much to allocate the national budget to each state. (Putrajaya bagi duit,suka hati la setiap negeri nak buat apa)

Indonesia is a Unitary-style government where all government power is concentrated in Jakarta. Everything each province does in terms of development and upkeep has to follow Jakarta's say so. Power is delegated to each province only as much as Jakarta sees fit. But obviously sometimes Jakarta-appointed governors don't follow local customs and culture. That's why for provincial people (Achenese, Papuan) with distinct cultural differences from Javanese people in Jakarta actually don't like being ruled by Indonesia and try to secede.

Same with Thailand where,for example,Malay ethnic Muslim peoples of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat are forced to learn speak Siamese language in everyday matters. One of the reasons why the three southern Thai provinces want more autonomy powers within Thailand. The people are ethnic Malays and have little in common with the Siamese people who run the government in Bangkok, but is forced to live by Siamese and Buddhist values. Ditto the Philippines, Muslim Moro peoples have been forced to live by Catholic christian values from Tagalog peoples who make up the central government in Manila. No wonder separatism is alive and well in those countries.

Tiba2 citer national politics pulak

Haha tu la tiba2 masuk bab governance pulak....lari tajuk skit,sori.....

Anyway, moving on....this is the new emblem of the Russian Army to replace the Soviet-era Red Star.The new emblem is to be unveiled publicly on Russia's National day parade on 21 June.

The other emblems considered looks even more American....

Ah,talking about China in south china sea....

China expanding possible outpost in Spratly Islands

The Islet,located in the johnson South Reef in what is calimed as Vietnamese waters has been steadily fortified recently by Chinese forces in defiance of Vietnamese and Philippine complaints over Chinese ambitions in the South China Sea.
