Imagine we buy 1 or 2 to use as flagship and replace barak with buk and s300/s400 fvcking badass

Kh-31P in the making.....

SHAH ALAM: A Sukhoi Su-30MKM of the RMAF is scheduled to fire a Kh-31P anti-radiation missile (ARM) within the next few days.

The supersonic missile will be aimed at a floating radar emitter target that “is being towed as we speak to the range located on the South China Sea,” RMAF Air Operations Commander Lt Jen Datuk Seri Ackbal Abdul Samad.

The target was contracted to Ikramatic Sdn Bhd while RMAF is solely responsible for firing the missile without any support from the manufacturer

Just last week, another Su-30MKM from the 11th Squadron fired the anti-ship version of the Kh-31A at another floating target as part of the integrated missile firing exercise, Ex Angsa 9/2014.

According to the Ackbal, the target for the ARM was located at a different area away from the Ex Angsa site as it needed to be anchored to the sea bed. “The Ex Angsa target is located a site codenamed Alpha while for the ARM the location is known as Bravo

Ackbal said the Kh-31A was the first missile fired at the target, which was followed by the RMN’s Sea Skua and Exocet missiles. The Sea Skua was fired a Super Lyxnx helicopter and Exocet by the frigate, KD Kasturi.

I thot arleigh burke oso 300 plus, even tho outdated its still going be best ship in southeast asia and maybe bcos outdated will be cheaper or we shud just build gowind batch ii with upgraded sam

For this concept ship project, DCNS focused on how to get what is essentially a conventional submarine to a theatre of operations as quickly as possible. Powered by three gas turbines driving three water jets, the SMX-25 submersible is designed to achieve a sustained surface speed of 38 knots.
Despite the fact that the SMX-25 can deploy very quickly, it is essentially a conventional submarine. On reaching its designated patrol area, the SMX-25 will operate like other submarines using the same types of sensors and resources.
In the innovative semi-surfaced configuration, with only the upper portion of the sail above water, the boat will be able to use the same sorts of sensors (including an aircraft surveillance radar) and weapons as a conventional surface combatant (i.e. anti-ship, land-strike and anti-air missiles launched from vertical silos) while maintaining an extremely discrete radar signature.
The SMX-25 will be equipped to deploy combat swimmers and their delivery vehicles, commandos, unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs).

Length overall	109 m
Max. speed, semi-surfaced	38 knots
Displacement, surface	2,850 tonnes
Displacement, submerged	4,560 tonnes
Speed, submerged	10 knots
Endurance, patrol	30 days

Indonesia's Pindad develops combat vehicle with Belgian company

Senin, 15 September 2014 19:51 WIB | 547 Views

Bandung, West Java (ANTARA News) - State-owned arms manufacturer PT Pindad has cooperated with Belgian Cockerill Maintenance & Ingeniere SA Defence (CMI) company to build tanks with weapon capacity ranging from 25- to 105-millimeter caliber.

"At the initial stage, we will produce 90- and 105-millimeter caliber torrent weapon system. This is a strategic cooperation not only for the development of Pindad as an assembler, but also for technology upgradation," stated the Pindad's president director Sudirman Said here on Monday.

The agreement was signed by Said and Vice President CMI James Claude in Pindad's panzer production hangar, Bandung.

Said noted that the cooperation was an effort to bring Pindad into the global weapon supply chain systems market with CMI.

"We are optimistic that this cooperation will be widely recognized in the global military circles," he noted. So far, Pindad has produced armoured personnel carrier in 6x6 class named Anoa, that also used by UN's Peacekeeping Force.

Both Pindad and CMI will also make more detailed cooperation partnership, one of which is by discussing the 90- and 105-millimeter caliber weaponry system.

"PINDAD will also have the opportunity to send their employees to learn at CMI weapons systems," Said added.

He said that this cooperation is also intended to increase Pindad's role in the defense industry.

"This cooperation is aimed at building Pindad's human resources and technology mastery to prepare them to enter the global supply chain in the world of defense industry," he added.

The executive vice president is optimistic that the cooperation with PINDAD will increase the potential of Indonesia in weapons system and support a strong defense system.

"We are pleased to sign the agreement, which is the beginning of a long-term cooperation in the assembly and technology of weapons systems that will benefit Pindad and Indonesian national security in the future," Claude added.

Earlier, Pindad had also cooperated with South African Rheinmetal Denel Munition in the development of large-caliber ammunition.

China produces warships like bunnies on overdrive

Numerically, PLA Navy can be largest navy in eastern hemisphere in the next 5 years. Maybe in 10 years PRC military as a whole can reach contemporary US military's level. 

Right now, I'm really interested in the PLA Type 052D DDGs. This is another example of the Chinese shipyards' ridiculously fast pace of ship-building. The PLA had just ordered 13 of the powerful destroyers in 2012, but 3 are already under service (Kunming, Changsha & Guiyang) while 4 more are under advanced stages of construction & fittings (Chengdu, Heifiei, Nanjing, Yinchuan & Taiyuan) and should be launched around 2016. The remaining 6 on order will start construction on the finishing of the ships currently under order.
