Well if you were to compare naval capabilities of us to them. At least our ships are not sitting ideally on dock for along period of time. Plus, their naval seriously lack capabilities to carry out anti submarine or anti ship warfare effectively

Our case is more of a deterrent, how much ships or subs the enemy are willing to lose to overcome our naval force. We will lose for sure but it the question for the enemy to think how long will it takes and how much will they potentially lost their assets

By this virtue, does that mean malaysia have no/very limited capability to carry major country to country offensive campaign to our enemy?

And Asean country have that capability?

why would we want carry out an offensive when our doctrine is defensive by nature

Even our ships mostly lack the anti-land capabilities.. The naval gun of such small calibres is not much of a support. Unless we would want to upgrade our exocet to block 3 for limited land attack capabilities. But i was told the navy may not be too fond of the idea, maybe more variety in their arsenals compare to primary exocet anti ship

If were to include our 6 potential missiles corvette plus 6 gowind, we would be getting 12 hulls. We would be the country with the most surface combatant hull order in asean for now as far as i know of

would be nice, if we could include 2 more sub for penisular. LTZ would be most happy

DARPA's Anti-Ship Missile Still Less Deadly Than Chinese ‘Carrier Killer’

At 15 tons and 35 feet tall, China’s DF-21D Dong Feng missile is rumored to be able to travel at speeds as fast as Mach 10 and has an effective range of up to 1,200 miles. In the event of a conflict, the weapon would pose a major threat to US aircraft carriers off the coast of Taiwan.

In response to the Navy’s call for a similarly sophisticated weapon system, the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency spent years developing its own Long Range Anti-Ship Missile. According to DARPA, LRASM aims "to provide a leap ahead in US surface warfare capability."

The missile can operate in antiaccess/area denial or A2/AD environments with robust anti-missile defense and fierce electronic warfare with the ability for "jamming" guidance systems. LRASM can also operate independently and under remote guidance and survive GPS jamming.

The missile, designed by defense contractor Lockheed Martin, can guide itself to targets using "autonomous guidance algorithms" even in the absence of remote control or GPS by pinpointing strike targets independently.

LRASM has completed three successful flight tests, according to DARPA, and is targeted for a deployment date sometime in 2018.

As another countermeasure to China’s “carrier killer,” the Pentagon paid Raytheon millions of dollars to develop a RIM-162 ESSM "Evolved SeaSparrow" antimissile missile. The hope is that such a defensive weapon will be able to shoot down DF-21D, despite its high speed and high trajectory.

In a keynote address on American Society of Naval Engineers’ Day on March 4, Sean Stackley, the Navy’s acquisition chief, stressed the importance of modernizing ships in the fleet.

To help reach that goal, the Navy has embarked on a 30-year research and development plan to ensure that it remains not only the largest such force in the world, but also the most powerful.

Stratfor Explores Russia's Military Options in Ukraine

Since we are using essentially T-72 tanks in the form of the PT-91, is it a good idea to buy some of those tube-launched ATGMs like Svir or Refleks? Seems like a pretty sound idea if you asked me.

now is how A400M flying back, and stop in which country. A400M expected bring back some 5-8 tons of manual，tools，etc...
i think should be
1. Saville Spain-Turkey-India- Subang , turkey will be in Turkey AF which station A400M, so have facility to check again.
2. Saville Spain-UAE-Subang, UAE to stop and refuel

I've no idea the route home for the RMAF A400M.

Looking forward to see the PLAAF J10 which is now making it's way to the 2015 LIMA.

8 is the best number!

8 sub?

BTW the dsme missile corvettes was it 8 or 6 biji

Contract signed was for 6 biji... but some claimed ROI was for 8 biji

Or 6 with option for 2 more

confirmed edi?

niceeeee

I thought it was originally 6 with addition of 2 more ?

2 addition

just 81 acrobatic team using J10

well event new still ASW version/General propose version which lack of good air defense capability， Formidable class still best ship in Asean, event 10 year old by 2018.
