are you referring to yj-12's predecessor or the version launched by plane? yj 12 is a family, the ones launched by ship i believe is  mach 1-2 cruising and 3 at terminal... the newer cm400akg reaches mach 5 at terminal but not mass produced yet

the funny thing is, in the article it say radar jamming.

in that close range. Who need radar? It pure dogfight ad with visual sight. All depends on the pilot skills and fighter manoeuvring
brahmos is twice as fast with better target acquisition and defence system avoidance. It speculated that brahmos anti-ship variant which based on p700 also have the same swarm attack capability integrated in it.  Meaning it also for saturation attack and not a single missile only will be launch during actual operation

what set it apart again is its speed. While maybe modern ciws  or modern point defence system can counter mach 1-2 missiles. It still take few critical second from identification to interception. So if you have a faster missiles like mach 4-5, the defence system have to work twice as fast to counter the threat.   In hope that during saturation attack, the defence system only may counter maybe one or two while missing the rest.

Of course, in video publish you only see one missiles launch, because no point doing saturation attack on stationary harmless training target. Missiles mahal and not cheap to fire    But like the falkland war, normally more than one antiship missiles will be launched for a single target to increase the probability of it actually hitting

i doubt malaysia navy want to stock up china missiles. india Brahmos or russian or europe equivalent would be the preference. It was considered for our kedah class but with typical what the armed forces want, armed forces wont get 

read previous article i posted
can be installed no problem on meko 100 class ship. Plus, it most likely same style like the external inclined launch tube instead of vls. Basically, turning out kedah class as missile boat 
what i mean that, it can take the place on ship intended for exocet or others
similarly, it a plug n play system or fancy name module

Our ships too small to install VLS you mean?
On a side note, any latest news on the Malaysian Gowind frigate order? Construction still progressing as planned I hope? Fingers crossed we won't have another Lekiu-class fiasco.

brahmos VLS is too long for a small ship like kedah class, inclined would be a better option like the indian navy did. Maintenance and installation would be much easier as well
1) Yes most likely but depends. 15ton for marine grade vessel especially military one is not very heavy. Kashtan CIWS is even heavier   But seeing Kedah class available space and current configuration on indian navy, 4 missile tubes would be the max, each 2 facing port and starboard  side. The space for VLS front of the deck most likely again will be reserved for defence system installation

2) structure wise again depends where the navy want to put them. if VLS, then have to cut a hole on the hull. In external, just place it in line with structure with a few minor reinforcements. Not that difficult for a ship, just a few extra added metal on critical support structure. Military ship are constructed using higher strength steel unlike civilian plus kedah class module system, most likely supported

3) depending on the drought. 22 knot is not technically its max speed. Max speed is top secret    22knot you can call it cruising speed, for a cutter hull design ship, higher cruising speed is need for more fuel economy according to my fren from ALAM apparently to raise the hull above water  

4) No, ship work in a diff way, the engine and propeller will provide a constant push. what drag a ship or slow a ship down is the surface area or drought in contact with water. The more, the more friction. The less, the faster it goes. That why i say, if the drought does not drop much, the speed wont be affected significantly. Besides that, the marine grade diesel engine can go 110 or 120% continuously is needed

5) This i cant answer you. 1st, I dunno the specific details. But since it come with a sealed missile canister, i assume it does not need much power. But depending on the target acquisition system. Not sure if need a new system or can piggy back on existing one.

Neh, when you want something, the service provider will do everything for you including where to place bla bla. You just have to pay them like how you want to customised your car. BTW, it just speculation no need to get so serious, the brahmos news was during DSA 2010. By then even the navy may have changed their mind 

luckily is lousy ship only

24 units?    msia gomen kena toto?

macam pergi pasar beli sayor..

We need fac more than ever.
250 tonnage - 600 tonnage should be ideal for us to operates at silu sea.

Impossible la.. U think najib wan buy made in singapore products??

We should get a couple of this subs. It's a long endurance SSK which mean's we can park one of this outside of Chinese ports.

If they stupid enough to use nuke against a non-nuclear country.

when Malaysia will go dasar pandang ke timur and buy some subs, surface vesses and tangki from jepang?

Really arhhh? Our ATM is using FN-6 manpads from China, and our APMM used KM Marlin, a ship from Japan. So why no China's sanction against us?

It's not going to war with them. It's just showing our presence. They came to our shore playing wargames and we came to their shore too. It's called saber ratling. We do have territorial dispute with them.

ppl rather jilat the jubur of those that slaughtered thousands of msians during ww2 than to support friends than benefit the country since 500 years ago... rather support allies of evil regime that support zionist whom has been slaughtering their fellow brothers in the middle east for years... memang dont understand how these topkek ppl are thinking... tu la, sifat dengki, otak kena cuci...

PLA launches newest Type 056 Jiangdao corvette


Type 056 number 594 under fitting after a successfull launch & sea trials

The PLA recently launched its latest ship in the Type 056 corvette line (Number 503). The ship line,classified as a missile corvette, is 89 meters long and weighs 1,300 tons in displacement. The Type 056 is designed for modularity, with 4 modular design modules able to be fitted onto the basic hull (Anti-Ship, Anti-Submarine, Anti-Aircraft and command flagship versions).

The basic Type 056 is armed with 1x 76mm gun, 2x 30mm CIWS, 1x 8-cell SAM launcher, 2x C082 Anti-ship missiles and 2 torpedo launchers. There is a helipad for a light helicopter, but no hangar bay. The Type 056 has some features to help reduce its detection signature such as an absence of sharp angles on the superstructure that could reflect radar and also an IR masking system on the chimney and engine systems.

While on paper,the Type 056 is somewhat of a good,if unremarkable vessel,what is most notable feature of the Type 056 is the sheer pace of its construction.The PLA ordered 30 units of the vessel for its navy only in 2010 and remarkably the first Type 056 (Bengbu, number 582) was already launched in 2012. In the space of 2 years (2012-2014) the construction companies have launched 22(TWENTY TWO) Type 056 ships!! That's a rate of one vessel per month!!

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

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
