not sure went rmaf select new jet, pilot opinion on new jet will take into account or not.

One & only at present time.....yes. but, if one & only since TUDM establishment, no because there were more female fighter pilots b4 her

During Subang International Air Carnival 2014, I asked one of the dudes at MiG simulator booth, and they said that she has already been transfered to C-130 since she got married. Expectant mothers shouldn't be flying fighter jets I guess.

During training....she was so cool, pendiam je..... nampak confuse2 pun ade sbb tu kena buli je.....especially by saravanan & her husband.

if u want low, i would prefer the K2 design, slight heavier by rough weight 55 ton and lower or higher its suspension height

Best of all, got cooperation with Turkey

plus side, it look bad ass compared to the traditional slope turret designt


today no exercise?

k2 still higher than mbt3000, Arm suspension add cost and complexity/maintanance to MBT,got advantage and disadvantage.
not much MBT model if amry still want light MBT.

K2 is 4th gen, mbt300 is 3rd gen of course it would be more complex or bigger plus more expensive (most expensive tank)

if you want smaller, of course the other would be the Type 10. But by far, I still like the K2.

Jangan persoal ambik type 10.
Type 10 ftw

K2 ftw... Type 10 impossible due to japan export ban

No more exports ban liao.
type 10 ftw.

Korea normal，they own declare 4Gen only .....

Just liffted, but they still have not decided what weapon they are willing to export out. The latest was to india ShinMaywa US-2.. csar version only

K2, big heavy, technology centric and advance comparable to france leclerc tank .

show of muscle

japan will open export for theyre made weapen. US also support this.

compared to the japan type 10 which also japan declare themselves 4th gen.. almost same capabilities

yes, i know ..... they have some 4gen feature, but overall industry say not full 4 Gen standard yet. it may suite korea/japan geographic/ environment/ weather.
too advance also it give more hard to sell oversea market. seems market still not accept this advance type MBT . maybe few year later. country more advance stage than army will accept it.

sold to turkey ad?

the turret design will be diff only but the auto loader mechanism and the hull will based on the K2.
The only real major problem with the K2 compared to the type 10 would be it powerpack and transmission. Underpowered and unreliable

That why, Turkey was interested in the type 10 powerpack but Japan say dont want But tat was before the export ban lifted, now not sure how,

wait and see ... and final spec .... still long wait ..

M1A3 coming out soon. US say is gen 3++/4th, then we can do better comparison

Turbine engine suspected is to replaced with standard diesel (guess US canot tahan makan minyak like hell ad)

and possible return of the autoloader reducing crew to 3 man

actually for MBT turbine engine more high fuel consumption than diesel engine, M1A1 Turbine engine fuel consumtion 380L/100km vs Leopard 2A diesel engine just around 230L/100km.
but turbine have alot advantage, it get full engine power after turbine engine start, just like jet engine, good for acceleration and speed (good for battle) ， disadvantage is more complex maintenance，high fuel consumption，hot engine， also low lifespan for Turbine engine。
but diesel engine only get full power at max rpm. in low speed, diesel engine get better fuel consumption.
it all about cost. us not border fuel cost/maintenance cost.
