Well it is no longer viable to keep in the inventory.
mainly limited missile and only 2nd hand missile available in the market if we ever need to buy additional missile.
another reasons is service support no longer cheap.
Thus when products reach eol, most of the customer would replace it.

‘Nicht Gut’: German MPs Cancel Orders for G36 Rifle



A study commissioned by the Ministry of Defense revealed serious flaws in the mass-produced G36 assault rifle. Reportedly, the rifle tends to heat up during continuous fire and becomes unreliable under changing ambient temperatures with the hit probability decreasing after just a few shots.

Moreover, a change from dry to moist environment leads to problems, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung newspaper reported.

The revelations contained in the 372-page report may come as a serious blow to Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen, a close ally and confidante of Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The German military leads a NATO rapid response force in Eastern Europe to defend European countries, including Poland, Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia against an imaginary threat from Russia. The formation of the elite intervention force is part of a systematic military buildup by NATO in

Eastern Europe, aimed directly at Russia. Ursula von der Leyen said some 4,000 of the corps’ troops will soon be taking part in a joint military exercise in the Baltics.

However, it now appears that the Bundeswehr has little to fight with amid reports of serious flaws found in its armored vehicles and now in the mass-produced G36 assault rifle.

A special commission has been set up to determine whether the rifle poses a real threat to a soldier’s life.

Ursula von der Leyen knew about the problems with the G36 already in late March and planned to recall 167,000 faulty units.

The rifle’s manufacturer, Heckler & Koch Company rejected the experts’ criticism though and threatened to sue the government.

The G36 was designed in the early 1990s by Heckler & Koch Company (HK). It was intended to replace the ageing G3 rifle in service with the Bundeswehr.

In April 2012, reports surfaced that G36 rifles used in Afghanistan would overheat during prolonged firefights after several hundred rounds were fired.

Overheating affected the accuracy of the G36, making it difficult to hit targets past 100 meters, ineffective past 200 meters, and incapable of effective fire past 300 meters. The G36 has been called unsuitable for long battles.

HK said the rifle was not designed for sustained, continuous fire.

The Pentagon Planned to Nuke the Sky

both MICA and Sea Ceptor (CAMM) are MBDA product, and both fire and forget missile. difference only in range and mid-course guidance via a datalink capability.

*Bonus: Can hit surface target too.

So answer for your question is no. Sea Ceptor still in development.

S400 or even s300 pmu2 would be good enough

Plus, we get a long range radar to fill our air defence gap.

Rail gun tipped to alter nation’s defense abilities



New advances in the development of electromagnetic rail guns (ERG) could have a major impact on the defense of Taiwan, an expert in Asian military affairs said.

“[ERGs] could be ready by the early 2020s,” International Assessment and Strategy Center senior fellow Rick Fisher said.

US Navy officials revealed this week that they plan to test-fire a rail gun at sea for the first time in the summer of next year.

The gun is to fire a series of hypervelocity projectiles fitted with GPS electronics at a barge floating in the ocean about 80km from Eglin Air Force Base in Florida.

Directed Energy and Electric Weapon Systems program manager US Navy Captain Mike Ziv told a US Navy League symposium that the first firing was a “significant event” and a “key learning point.”

The symposium was told that rail guns could fire guided, high-speed projectiles more than 160km and could be a formidable defense against cruise and ballistic missiles.

“This one technology has the potential to reverse the ‘cost-benefit ratio’ on the Taiwan Strait and to extend real deterrence potential for another decade, while allowing Taipei to sustain a largely defensive military strategy,” Fisher told the Taipei Times.

He said that Taiwan was buying US$3 million missile interceptors to shoot down US$1 million Chinese short-range ballistic missiles.

Rail guns could be able to shoot down Chinese missiles and attack aircraft with projectiles at much less cost.

“It can perform missile defense, air defense and anti-invasion missions, and also attack most of the new long-range anti-aircraft missile systems China is basing near the Taiwan Strait to threaten Taiwan’s air force,” Fisher said.

He said: “If China’s leaders see they cannot overwhelm Taiwan with missile strikes, achieve air superiority and thus assure the security of its invasion fleet, they will probably think more than twice about attacking Taiwan.”

“These are the potential benefits for Taiwan of the rail gun,” he said.

Fisher added: “It is a strategic and moral necessity for Washington to be working with Taipei to enable the early transfer of rail gun technology.”

According to the Defense Tech Web site, the rail gun being developed by the US Navy uses electricity to create a magnetic field to propel a kinetic energy projectile at about 5,600 miles per hour (9,000kph).

It can accelerate a 45-pound (20kg) projectile from zero to 5,000 miles per hour (8,046kph) in less than a second, the Web site said.

The projectiles, able to travel at 2,000 meters per second, would cost less than US$100,000 each, while the gun would be able to fire them at a rate of about one every six seconds.

Quad pack per cell.
win it all.

Well before getting high tier sam system.
we get short to mid range sam system first.
camm-er would be good enough.

There only afew light weight torpedo that will fit into our laucher

MU90 would be the likely choice

Plus, it also hinted to the choice to replace the a244

Given how russia are willing to sell now for foreign exchange. I sure we could get it cheaper than before plus the ruble is losing value as well. If i remember russia ia shutting down their s300 production line soon. Their most successful sam system is going to be replaced with s400 or thr new s500. Boleh angkat rusia old stock haha

Now if only our economy is solid. Bloody arab flood the oil market....

If they willing to give full tech transfer of s-300.
than go for its.
secretly msg US to sponsor some money.

Tak lah until full tot for s300. Unless we going to built one, i dont see the point a full tot. I only hoping to get long lange radar which can be used in same with the sam system

Ask us to sponsor a russian system... we must have alot of guts to ask them that hahaha

Lightweight torpedo for warship is the last choice wpn to be used against sub..... only for self defence purpose. If to be used for attack means suicide for the ship. For me doesnt matter what type of torpedo as long as modern torpedo

Hemm mu90 there the anti torpedo variant

MU90 Hard Kill

Just there still fear.. it might not work properly especially it from eurotorp. Hahaha

Something the Australian highlighted. Another thing is the system for anti torpedo..

yeah i know,
usually they will still provide support for 5 year after EOL of product ... like other commercial product, give some time for customer get replacement.

also depend ship helicopter, if confirm Gowind helis is ASW helis, than 90% is MU90, more logic ship and ASW helis also use same torpedo

There no news for news asw heli yet.

But without even a mu90.. it been hinted as replacement for the a244s we currently have

Budget not even yet to be allocated for asw heli.
up coming rmk we would know if we are getting any asw heli.

Some TLDM pilots sent to familiarize with seahawk.

Hehe dah start training edi.
wah baguslah.
