French shipyard CMN, part of Privinvest holding company, will unveil a new version of its famous Baynunah class corvette during IDEX/NAVDEX 2015 defense exhibition which starts on Sunday in Abu Dhabi. Based on the sea proven Combattante BR 71 corvette, the new Mk II evolution incorporates the latest innovations from CMN's research and development.

What hate are you referring? I only speak the truth. The Russians already knew the their tanks have been inferior in 80's compared to western heavy tanks. Because of lack of budget in their financial crisis, they had no choice but to drop the heavy tank project & came up with toned down T80 instead to replace aging t64. Then in 90's after seeing the superiority of abrams & challengers, they came up with t95 project. Because of financial situation their plan for proper t95 was again being cancelled and substituted with remake t72 renamed t90.

Today, russia is earning a lot by buying cheap oil from IS and they expect American might intervene with ukraine conflict, the Russians finally gave greenlight for their heavy tank project weighing >50tons.

Regarding the bradley scouts you mentioned, they operate in small numbers recon only and will engage only if being spotted and attacked. Usually, these scouts would wait for abrams platoon to move in for the kill. Range of TOW2 missiles are about 3~4 miles. They only provide support fire behind abrams. Abrams guns max range about 3 miles.

for the bold parts, i think that's why Sing and Indo chose Leopard. They have an excellent Weight to power output ratio and their maintenance is easy to be done. As an example you can change and replace the block engine of Leopard in less than an hour meanwhile you need at least 8 hour to replace the block engine in T-72 series.

The PT91 was less suitable as proven in sulu invasion, the hilly terrain leaves the twardy with limited range. Attack helicopter like hokum & havoc are more suitable, these choppers could kill more insurgents entering our country by boats effectively before they reach our sabah shore.

I seriously believe the next evolution in tank gun is the adoption of 140mm gun. that has enough kinetic energy to destroy an enemy tank over 7km away

WTF happened? I was away for just 1-2 days, now forum has degenerated into Abrams vs T-90 cockfight. 

More hull for rmn duty.  Plus, it should complement our gowind class. Our gowind is geared toward anti-submarine

It a missile covertte.. so it would be mainly anti-ship duty. What missile it will be equid.. that the question. I hoping for brahmos though unlikely given the size. Vl launch brahmoss need alot of space even with slanted launch tube due to its long size. And it just a 1500 vessel so what it can carry  is quite limited as well 

From the dmse model, look like its missile stack will be on top of the hull instead of a vl system.

Though i was hoping rmn can diversified  their missile arsenal like how our airforce with both western and eastern fighters

There report we show interest in brahmos before but it have soon die down. Having a supersonic missile does give our navy added firepower rather than the  subsonic excoet
Kedah class will be upgraded later or so i heard. There plans for it but funding remain the main concern. Again it all hear say but most likely excocet again. Wonder why we are so loyal to excocey? Cheap? Or lobbying?

But given it cost of upgrading, i personally think it more cost effective to get new hulls and equid it with more capabale equitments. Like the saying no matter what you add to a old horse it still in the end a old horse

The coastal patrol duty are slowly being given to our coast guard equivalent. Our navy are slowly venturing out of the coastal region and onto deeper waters. Thus, the need of more capable vessel.

If really wanna put extra-large caliber 150mm gun into a small enough mobile carriage, an assault gun/tank destroyer configuration where gun is directly installed on an enlarged hull also can be considered, although loss of rotating turret could be a major handicap.

the guy's posts got "i'm always right, you guys are wrong" indications all over it..   
this is like watching LTZ vs alaskanbunny all over again   

Actually NSM more cheaper than Exocet Block 3, plus "stealth" capability. also smaller.

NSM cost close to usd 3 million each. Exocet about usd 3.5 million 

anyway NSM got small warhead than Exocet, but due to technology/design it get more higher rate to hit enemy target。

Why duntyphoon just shoot tu95 down

Don't buy anything significant from US in 2013?

I don't think this is Anti-China alliance. Prolly just limited power for countering internal problems like rebellions or insurgencies among members.
