maybe we should lease the gripen as a stop gap measure at the very least until su-55em available.
but then again it only possible will happen if RMAF interest to buy russian jet again.

canot too mahal.. 18 is more logical one Squadron

If malaysia want to join the development which russian aimed to sell to us, we can get faster or at least same time with india rather than wait because the two seater variant would likely be based on IAF just like how our MKM is based on the MKI

Other than tat, only beyond 2023, 2030 is a more realistic date

by than our MKM would seriously need a SLEP or replacement

is it even confirm or not..

btw can local company like ctrm do upgrade for them blackhawk? things like flir and nvg-capable cockpits.

p/s: looks like these ex rbaf blackhawks is the only ones we'll get (for free) since nz is going to get them ex austrian ones. I'd rather see more EC725 than fresh UH-60

su-55em?

the timeline was released by suhkoi itself.. a lot of comment is very unrealistic since only recently russian willing to share with india t50 technology, 5 years to develop and to full production is very short, tat is without prototype building

SO haven't order la? This is consider the rival for F-22 and F-35 right?

belum masuk production pun

yup to f22

haha i thought got the "pre-order". OMG..this is gonna be very exciting...

pre-order = pay for development cost

russia ada offer but kita like always no money

oo.. what's the benefits for paying their development cost? other than able to get the jets earlier?

certain level customization to your own requirements..

lower per unit price in actual purchase

cons?
bound to have problems on initial production batch

oo i see. Thank you for telling me

Chinese-made Nigerian army CH-3 UCAV crashes in Nigeria, demonstrates high level of Chinese weapons supply into Nigeria



As the brutal Boko Haram insurgency has entered its 7th year in Nigeria, the relationship between the government and China has deepened. In many ways it is a match of needs. The Nigerian military has a pressing need for counter-insurgency (COIN) equipment, such as drones, MRAP vehicles and smart bombs (many of which the US has been unwilling to provide the Nigerian government due to human rights concerns). China is seeking to be a first tier exporter of such modern military systems as well as has a massive domestic demand for oil.

On January 25, 2015, a photo appeared on online at Beegeagle's Blog, appearing to show a CH-3 UCAV which crashed upside down near Dumge village in the Mafa District of Borno Province.

The two AR-1 anti-tank missiles on the CH-3's wings appear to be intact. Borno is the area where much of the Boko Haram violence, including the massacre of 2,000 civilians, occurred in 2015. Currently, the Nigerian military is fighting to hold onto the city of Maiduguri against a Boko Haram onslaught, so it appears likely that the CH-3 in question was flying reconnaissance and fire support missions for the Nigerians when it crashed. If so, this a significant step from using small UAVs for scouting and reconnaissance missions to operating UCAVs for direct strike missions against the Boko Haram militants.

Despite damage to the tricycle landing gear and upper forward fuselage, this CH-3 appears to have crash landed due to mechanical or control difficulties. This is in line with most other global UAV combat losses to date. As the CH-3 has a cruise altitude of 5,000m and a flight ceiling of 6,000m, it is unlikely that Boko Haram would have the necessary heavy anti-aircraft weaponry or training to do so.

above picture, did your see the bomb is mount wrong direction? one facing front and other one facing back.....
hopefully we can get CH-4 too, perfect put in sabah

Hahaha, didn't noticed that. Probably originally the missile fell off and was later put back on the pylon by villagers. That would explain the backwards missile.

b-but I wanted the tea maker

Strangely fully equipped Malaysian Army soldiers being trained by US Marines. Ballistic goggles and Plate Carrier vests, anyone?

Why US soldiers always act like they are training SEA soldiers all the time....each time they meet in exercises.
