whats the biggest gun av8 can have?

Do you guys think armed drones would be useful to malaysia?? We could use them to patrol scs, esscom and wherever there are conflicts etc since the mq1 predator for example has an endurance of more than 24 hours, a lot more than full sized planes. Plus the predator only costs 4 million so we could buy large numbers of them if needed, and ctrm and sapura could use some help in uav design

If you say predator 4 million, this news reported the arv we have is 47 million EACH wor.  So must be better than predator wor..

They had a few ctrm eagle ARV but dunno what happen.
Better if they can add some hardpoints to it for arment


PETALING JAYA, Mon. - The Eagle ARV (Airborne Reconnaissance Vehicle) system, with three surveillance aircraft worth about RM47 million, was delivered to the Royal Malaysian Air Force today.

The three aircraft will be deployed to Semporna, Sabah, next month to monitor the coast of Sabah. It can fly up to 10 hours before refuelling.
Twelve men, comprising six operators and six engineers from the air force, will be posted to Semporna to operate the aircraft.

The Philippines Coast Guard will receive a new 82 m offshore patrol vessel (OPV) by around 2016, shipbuilder OCEA told IHS Jane's at the Euronaval exhibition in Paris.

A EUR90 million (USD113 million) contract for five vessels from France was announced by Philippine coastguard chief Rear Admiral Luis Tuason in 2012.

At Euronaval in 2012, OCEA confirmed that four OCEA 24 m FPB 72 patrol boats similar to units delivered to Nigeria and Surinam would partly fulfil this requirement, although whether the final vessel would be a larger OPV was still to be finalised at that time.

The larger unit is now confirmed to be based on the company's new OPV 270, with the baseline design featuring an aluminium hull with twin diesel propulsion for speeds of more than 25 kt.

Alhamdulillah....... Syukur, just arrived this morning. I am back alive to share the story here.

It was the most wonderful moment in my life as a naval officer & submariner. After a really hardwork with all the fleets, we managed to do it. Sharp 1100H torpedo launched, 1112H it hit the target with acoustic fuze influence (AFI) or proximity fuze. It was a 'floating' ferry with 55m length.

SUBIC BAY FREEPORT, Philippines—Nine US Navy ships scheduled to arrive here this month until December have decided to cancel their port calls due to “anti-American sentiments” in the country after a US Marine was implicated in the slaying of a Filipino transgender in Olongapo City last month, a group of business owners said.

The Subic Bay Freeport Chamber of Commerce (SBFCC) said the cancellation disappointed local businessmen, who had been preparing for the “liberty” (rest and recreation) of American troops.

“This anticipated visit could have meant a better Christmas for the business owners and their employees…. But after the cancellation, one can only imagine the disappointed faces,” the SBFCC said in a statement sent to the Inquirer on Sunday.

The US Embassy and the Department of Foreign Affairs on Sunday night couldn’t immediately confirm the cancellation of the port calls by the nine US Navy ships in Subic.

Kurt Hoyer, US Embassy first secretary and press attaché, told the Inquirer that he still had to check the information.

In a separate phone interview, DFA spokesman and Assistant Secretary Charles Jose also said he had to verify whether the department had information about the cancellation of the port calls.

However, Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority chair Roberto Garcia confirmed the cancellation of the port calls.

Citing a report from Global Terminals and Development Inc., which operates ports here and provides service to US Navy ships, Garcia on Sunday said four ships were supposed to visit this free port this month while five were expected in December.

Garcia said the port visits were “put on hold until further notice.”

82 soldiers get to sit SPM

KOTA BARU: Army private Mohd Ropi Isa still has a pang of regret for leaving school after completing only his Form Three years ago.

Now at 24 years old, he is taking his Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) examinations for the first time to raise his educational qualification.

Serving in the 18th Batallion of the Royal Malay Regiment in Pengkalan Chepa here, Ropi said as he did not do well in his studies then, he chose to quit school when friends coaxed him to do so after his Penilaian Menengah Rendah examination (PMR).

“That was the worst decision that I have ever made and I have regretted it ever since. Luckily, I managed to join the army with my PMR qualification several years ago.

“I realise now that I have to at least pass the SPM (examinations) to advance in my career and find a better job after completing military service,” he said when met before sitting for his first paper, Bahasa Melayu 1 paper, yesterday.

Ropi, from Batu Gajah in Tanah Merah, Kelantan, is one of 82 soldiers from the 8th Infantry Brigade sitting for SPM at the Armed Forces’ community transformation centre in Desa Pahlawan camp here.

Of the candidates, 20 were taking the examinations for the first time.

Corporal Amirsah Jauharan, 31, from the 8th Battalion of the Royal Signals Regiment, also based here, is re-sitting SPM, which he first took 14 years ago.

Amirsah, who is the oldest soldier among the candidates sitting for the exam, said he had worked hard to better the results he obtained from his first sitting.

“I have been attending classes organised by the Education Corps here regularly since February. We also had tuition classes besides study groups,” said Amirsah, who is from Kudat, Sabah.

8th Brigade’s education officer, Lieutenant-Colonel Abdul Rahman Abdul Hamid, said this was the first time that the Malaysian Examination Syndicate had allowed an army camp to be converted into an examination centre.

“A centre can be opened with a minimum 70 candidates and we have 82 students. Previously, soldiers had to sit for the examination at schools like other students.”

Big Surprise in store at upcoming Zhuhai Air show 2014, Chinese weapon manufacturer set to unveil massive CX-1 hypersonic Anti-Ship missile


Whoa nelly!
That thing must be 10-12 meters in length & probably larger than Russian BrahMos, Yakhont & Granit!
More problems for US carrier groups, I guess.

I wonder what will be the possible launch platform?
