advance super hornet FTW

the external weapons pod is built to carry up to 2,500-pounds of weapons. a2a / a2g. optional

40 Su-30
25 Su-50

40 f-18
20 f-35

even if we want, we will get second hand since production was close since a long time. Fairchild Republic does not even exist any more technically

second, despite its reputation, it maintenance rival that of modern fighter mainly because of it old age but not tat expensive. Most replacement parts are salvaged

thirdly, Nice to use but it basically a plane waiting its demise. The US airforce is determined to shut it down to take its funds. Once shut down, we wont have any more support for the craft

lastly, i doubt our airforce would want to train its pilot for a craft that can be retired in short term.

the hog is meant for the cold war USAF that faced armoured columns that could spill through germany.air superiority needs to be achieved first before the hog can do its job,not something that malaysia can achieve with its current state in a conventional conflict

in ESSCOM,the A-10 would be a waste as the enemy does not have anti-air(well nothing that can't be handled) or armoured vehicles,so...

Only US have those, and they also have the final say to their "made in USA" stuff
Even if we have the tech and expertise to turn our herc into a gunship..

look promising but ad say cancelled.. or it is?  
Option 2 is same as option one (inclined canister) just at upper deck behind the bridge iinm

only option 3 is VLS. i believe this article was published back in 2012 during which india offer the brahmos for us but it was reported instead we are more interested in the air launch variant which was still in development and testing phase during that time
Again it one of those thing US have and not willing to sell even if there are offers. I am sure with its capabilities isreal would be surely interested in it but again they dont have it, it one good guess why they dont have.. 

The closest if we want a gunship is the C-295 pocket gun ship develop by Jordon. The main reason why we can get is it because it from airbus 
getting the 30mm gun, the 105 cannon is easy

WATCH: Iranian cruise missiles blow up life-size replica of American aircraft carrier


Iran fired hundreds of missiles in a military drill on Wednesday, including two ballistic missiles which blew up an Iranian-built, life-size replica of a US aircraft carrier in the Strait of Hormuz, Iranian and Arab media outlets reported.

The model of the aircraft carrier was completely destroyed by the missiles, according to the reports.

Senior Iranian officials attended the exercise, including Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani and Revolutionary Guards commander, Gen. Ali Jafari.

An Iranian military helicopter fired two cruise missiles at the model of the US carrier in the course of the drill.

The commander of Iran's Navy had said last April that Iran had built "a life-size replica of an American aircraft carrier, 202 meters long, in order to destroy it during military maneuvers."

He added that "the Americans, and the entire world, know that the American Navy is one of our targets, and it will take us 50 seconds to destroy every US warship."

During the military exercise, titled, "The Great Prophet," the Iranian military booby-trapped the Strait of Hormuz and fired surface-to-surface Fateh-110 missiles some 300 km.

According to the reports, the Iranians also fired surface-to-sea missiles that can travel some 5 kilometers and evade radar detection.

Singapore armed forces changing the V200 to Renault Trucks Defense HIGUARD 6x6 armoured truck.

Superpuma will also be replaced, my guess is the MRH90.

This f35 really like songlap all the $$$
Only 1 plane for so many roles

No competition

Europe lazy develop 5th Gen fighter to butlick the usa
Left Russia china and USA 5th Gen fighters

What ever happened to Europe
Gripen, Rafael, Eurofighter all not 5 th gen
Seriously? After the above 3 there is no new jet from euro? That's sad future will be filled with lemons or triangles

f22 is way way better than f35, they should just focus on f22 but instead a new program that is f35

if only f22 was the one they sell, i reckon msia should get it but instead this lousy f35

so for us i believe pak fa is the answer for 5th gen fighter in the future, for now we need to buy(mrca) to replace the current f5 and mig29n soon to decommision

not much they can do with an airstrip there
not like they can take over our occupied islands without a war
but can expect to see more interceptions like in senkakus if they put air force jets there

He is high on weed.  Without even a fully functioning navy he want pinoy to attack those islands that China constructed. Plus, america is not going to seek another war in pacific side now when they have their hand full now

they should have in fact harass those ships or barge constructing the island the moment they start pumping sands. But what they did? Just watch....

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
