Secret discussions revealed: US asks Malaysia for Maritime Reconnaissance base in Sabah


A Boeing P-8 Poseidon Maritime Reconnaissance Aircraft

According to a senior diplomat familiar with the talks, the US have been discussing with Malaysian government officials for 'some time' on the possibility of a basing agreement in the Malaysian state of Sabah for US P-8 Poseidon maritime reconnaissance planes to monitor the South China Sea.

The statement seems to have been confirmed by the US Chief of Naval Operations, Admiral Jonathan W. Greenert when he spoke at a forum in Washington last week. He was quoted as "the recent offer by Malaysia for P-8 Poseidon aircraft to fly out of the country’s most eastern area would give the United States greater proximity to the South China Sea".

Malaysian Defense minister Tun Hishamuddin Hussein,when asked by local press about an agreement for a Malaysian-US deal on 'US fighters' to operate out of Sabah, the minister replied: "that is not true".

(Although as P-8 Poseidons are not "fighter" planes.... so technically the MENHAN did not lie.... )

Any chance SGPV getting other combo instead of Exo+Mica?

ada kes subs submerge sebelah oil rig!
hang tau?

Should've factored it all during design phase. Lack of amphibious ability in some variants still seems like a major handicap for the AV8 to me. 
All AV8 hulls are by default amphibious AFAIK, but some variants can cause the ability to be removed? sounds funny.

Another reason for my suggestion for ATM to get one or two variant of the AV8 (the APC version and the 25mm Bushmaster IFV version), maximize its potential on that version and stick with it. Designing 12 other turrets for 12 other uses for the AV8 and trying to make it into a jack-of-all trades is wasteful, redundant and probably will lead to many blind alleys.

I think this ambitious AV8 project is not quite right for Malaysia at this time,maybe in future,but not right now.


12 variants? c'mon!

On the subject of APCs and IFVs, I wonder why is it that Malaysian Army bought armored vehicles that no other country uses?
Like the German Condor and Belgian SIBMAS, no other country, not even their mother countries are using them.

And Malaysia bought these in relatively huge numbers, 180 for the SIBMAS and 450 for the Condor.

personally, i still think that this is an idea worth pursuing (manned airship or tethered blimp) for maritime surveillance in Straits of Malacca & Sabah East Coast
