buat apa take a copy.. take the ori K2


that why take K2, straight from factory ori ori lagi

Plus, using french auto loader. sure no problem one

tu jepun punya belum tentu they will sell also or not. Cakap saja nak sell *ammo fired*

APMM Terima Sebuah Lagi Kapal Ronda Kelas Bay





[My news hub]

considering how both country of origin now

our taste of modify baseline modal would be most difficult

tanks aside..heard the heli crash that killed our ambassador's wife in pakistan was done by Taliban..

nothing yet verified, early report pointing to technical fault

and the heli is in a convoy of 3 heli that scheduled to land, 2 landed safely and theres no indication that any firing took place

Nanti jepun bundle sekali ngan shinkansen sekali.
[Weed] french datang mari ngan Peugeot + rafale + mistral. [/weed]

Generally for Tank, do they need huge crew to maintain it on both US and Russian tech? No point if we buy some good tank but difficult to maintain.. Eg like Eurofighther need to be babysit

Some entertainment for the day

Some pic from the front (Kinabatangan)

Latest....ade armed robbery kt pulai bait, semporna plak

Russian tech is more mechanically simpler thus requires less know-how to maintain it, that even rebels and sanctioned states can keep it running (those russian tanks)

i like this idea

Israeli Air Force Team Up With Greeks to Train Against S-300 Missile System



The Israeli Air Force practiced maneuvers against the S-300 surface-to-air missile system, soon to be received by Iran, in a bilateral training exercise carried out against the two Greek S-300 batteries stationed on the island of Crete.

The mission took place from April 20-30, when the Israelis joined the Hellenic Air Force's INIOHOS-2015 exercise, one of its largest annual drills, in which at least 150 combat planes from all HAF squadrons took part.
According to reports, Israel deployed a force of ten F-161 jet fighters from four squadrons, and its aircraft were joined by US Air Force in Europe personnel acting as Joint Terminal Attack Controllers.

Israel has acquired technical data about the S-300 system, which is capable of hitting aerial targets at a distance of 150 kilometers, and an altitude of up to 27,000 meters.

The maneuvers were aimed at testing out different tactics against the S-300, in simulated attacks against ground targets protected by S-300 batteries.

This video shows Israeli Air Force F-161 jet aircraft taking part in the exercises.

Greece acquired the S-300 system from Russia in the late 1990s and is the only member of NATO which has the system in service.

Last month Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos, on a visit to Moscow for a conference on global security, said that Greece was in negotiations with the Russian government over the purchase of new missiles for its S-300 system, and maintenance for its S-300, Top M-1 and Kornet missiles.

In 2007 Russia and Iran signed a contract to supply five batteries of the S-300 system, but in 2010 the Russian government imposed the ban on its export, in connection with UN sanctions imposed against Iran regarding its nuclear program.

On April 13 the Russian government lifted the ban on the sale of the S-300 system following the successful conclusion of negotiations in Geneva between Iran and the P5-1 group of countries to lift the sanctions against Iran.

Tu shinkansen pun expensive... jepun product mahal

Beli korea cheaper...

K2 is like copy french lecrec turret dump it onto an m1 abram hull.

Details of China's new AIP submarine technology revealed



n recent years several different air-independent propulsion (AIP) submarines have entered service in China and are said to be leading the world in standards, according to Duowei News, a media outlet run by overseas Chinese.

Due to the highly classified nature of submarine technology, however, the parameters of China's AIP systems have not been fully revealed to the public, the website stated. A May 1 report in Communist Party mouthpiece People's Daily, however, mentioned that China's "new Stirling engine" was 117% more efficient than its international rivals. The first hints of the details of the engine technology have gradually emerged recently. The engine will likely be adopted by the PLA Navy's new AIP submarine.

In the April 26 edition of People's Daily, in the run-up to Labor Day, a piece entitled "The 'Prettiest Worker' Reveals Why Workers are Beautiful" included the sentence: "In the field of special propulsion systems, the Stirling engine department of the 711 research institute of the China Ship Scientific Research Center has been around for 10 years and has independently developed a completely new engine, which is 117% more efficient than similar products overseas, which puts it in the lead worldwide. It is set to be installed in China's next generation of warships."

The 711 research institute is the main research unit that develops propulsion systems for conventional submarines. One of the most advanced systems it created was the AIP system for the Type 039B Song-class diesel-electric submarine, powered with Stirling engines based on engines imported into China from Sweden during the 1980s.

According to the People's Daily report, there are several models of the Swedish 4-275 propulsion system that the country is currently exporting to overseas buyers, including a 75 kilowatt and a 110 kW model. Only the 75 kW version is being sold on the international market, however. China imported the 75 kW version from Sweden then replicated the engine and used it to power the Type 039B submarine.

As the Stirling engine is not very efficient, it is normally used for slow cruising underwater. A new electricity generating technology developed in China allows the submarine to cruise underwater and charge its battery at the same time, the website stated. So although the four Stirling engines are identical in efficiency to those used in Japan's Soryu-class diesel-electric attack submarines, the Chinese submarines are afforded more tactical flexibility. Before the liquid oxygen on board the submarine is exhausted, the submarine does not need to navigate with its snorkel extended to the surface, which puts it at the same level of performance as a small nuclear submarine.

This leaves the problem of the low efficiency of the Stirling engine. The engines of the Type 039B submarine charge quite slowly. After travelling at a speed of 20 knots for several hours underwater, it needs to slow to a speed of 2 knots for several days to recharge its battery, which makes increasing the efficiency of the engine key.

This is what the 711 research institute has been working to address. According to a 2004 report by state news agency Xinhua, the engine developed by the 711 research institute has made a breakthrough in the technology. The new engine is said to have a 20 kW and a 100 kW model, said the website. The advantage of the engine is that it can be used together with other propulsion systems such as natural gas, diesel, solar energy or other solid fuels to generate electricity. This also reduces emissions compared to other engines on the market. This meant that back in 2004, China had almost equaled the power of the Swedish 110 kW 4-275 Stirling engine.

The website then speculated that the power of China's new generation of Stirling engine has likely reached the 160 kW or 217 kW mark. If new submarines were to use four Sterling engines, as the Type 039B submarine does, then this would mean power of 640 kW to 868 kW (868-1,180 horsepower). The engine would also drive the submarine at the same time as charging the battery. The Russian Kilo-class submarine has one 150 horsepower cruise generator and two emergency-use 102 horsepower generators.

This means that China's new Stirling engine can charge its main battery at the speed of a conventionally-powered submarine in snorkel mode, while travelling at a low speed of 2-3 knots. This is a unique breakthrough. Even the lithium battery powered submarine, which is under development, is unable to compete with diesel-electric submarines in terms of energy density and it still needs to charge its battery with its snorkel extended.

transmission jammed according to other speculation. One think for sure, they need a new engineering vehcile

armata is heavier than most of their tank in inventory

work both way i think.. THose russian maintain can get data also

plus, they so close to russian now for cash

The most logical choice is an engineering vehicle based on Armata chassis itself. Strange they don't have one on hand.

Not that of a big deal when a tank breaks down tho, happens all the time especially on brand new tanks with possible teething problems. Just hopefully not in front of Red Square on 8 May la.

they should change tat ol t72 BREM-1M to armada base vehicle

how u expect such a light vehicle to pull its much heavier cousin

all of sudden qatar mrca concluded with rafale while the kuwait is set to buy the super hornet

hmm blessing in disguise i guess for our mrca??yay or nay?
