kalau nak semua tu in one package, US punya bulu kening sudah naik tahap bulan macam ini    

btw, still dunno who will operate the marine, not sure atm or tldm or a separate branch by itself

LDP sure most likely controlled by the navy because that what they want since log ago, just the LCAC, AAV, and super cobra siapa?

heh, US wanted to give us that because they wanted to piss one particular country off

uuihh mess baru..

GD receives £3.5bn order from UK MoD for Scout SV platforms

3 September 2014

The UK Ministry of Defence (MoD) has awarded a £3.5bn contract to General Dynamics (GD) UK for the delivery of Scout Specialist Vehicle (SV) platforms to the national army.

Under the contract, the company will supply a total of 589 vehicles in six variants to provide essential capability to the Armoured Cavalry within Army 2020.

The variants include scout reconnaissance, equipment support repair, equipment and support recovery, command and control, protected mobility reconnaissance support (PMRS) variants and engineer reconnaissance variants.

The contract also covers the provision of initial in-service support and training and will create up to 1,300 jobs across the programme's UK supply chain, with 300 alone at the company's Oakdale facility.

We shud srsly get whidbey class from america i thot i read some time back that they were gonna decomm the whidbey from 2013?? Good capabilities plus not that old

Putd terbang....

Ya subs is best chance in a war with that particular country since everything gonna get sunk in first few days.. Some time back i talked about enlarging pulau layang layang into small town and navy base but everybody say bad idea cuz damage reef, but i think heck care reef la, naval base much more useful when the oil money start flowing

Im not very knowledgeable in military strategy/tactics but may I know what is the use of a naval base there? It's not going to be very defensible, sitting alone in the middle of the sea. Can't they just shoot missiles at it if we really go to war? Our own land is not that far away, so it's not like there is a big advantage in power projection that can be added with this base (unlike for the PRC where their own mainland bases are so far away). Maybe as an observation post and/or as a marker for our claim to this area are the main purposes I can think of for having it.

Thank you for any reply and sorry if this seems naive.

But it can ensure that any attempted takeover will result in war and probably serve to deter china from attempting to take over because even tho they are a lot stronger they would still want to avoid war so their economy is stable. Otherwise theres a chance we'll end up like philippines getting their islands stolen without any fire

But if we have base there we can hit mainland china with sukhois, currently we cant hit it no matter where our planes takeoff, maybe that chance of getting hit will change things a bit??

Cant operate fighter jets... Maybe just enlarge the runway and facilities?? A real navy base imo is not needed too, maybe just a refuelling stopover??

there is a thread about pulau layang layang (Swallow Reef)

The Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) will conduct the first live firings of Kh-31A anti-ship and Kh-31P anti-radiation missiles (AS-17 'Krypton') from its Sukhoi Su-30MKM fighters during a joint exercise with Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) in the South China Sea this month.

The Kh-31 firings against a sea target will take place in a designated part of the South China Sea routinely used by the RMN for firing practice.

The exact location of the firing area is unknown but military sources confirmed that it is well away from the disputed Spratly Islands to avoid provoking other claimants.

The RMN will also conduct live firings of MBDA MM40 Exocet anti-ship missiles and Seawolf surface-to-air missiles from its ships and MBDA Sea Skua missiles from RMN Super Lynx helicopters.

^ Will this get recorded and released for public viewing like other missile firings we've seen to date?
