based on what i read, our local company, ATSC decided to cooperate with the Russian RAC MiG to upgrade the MiGs to MiG-29NM
but that is ATSC, does gov/TUDM agrees to the plan? 
i suppork this plan to the fullest~ Fulcrum is my favorite jet~~   

More detail of the stealth 57mm cupola


Similar system on visby class

i hope they will upgrade the MiGs engines as well..
no more 'smokey' engines like before and the squadron can't use the name 'Smokey Bandits' anymore afterwards tho 

Beautiful ship.
Looks like the Indonesian Navy Stealth Fast Attack Craft Trimaran (New Klewang Class) by Saab & PT. Lundin will be using the same gun.

Exclusive: Boustead Confirms NSM for the Future Gowind class LCS of the Royal Malaysian Navy

On day 2 of the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace exhibition, LIMA 2015, currently held in Malaysia, Navy Recognition met with Anuar Murad, Director of the Defence & Security Division at Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation Berhad (BHIC). During our interview, Mr Anuar gave us the latest update on the program and confirmed Malaysia's intend to procure Kongsberg's Naval Strike Missile (NSM) for its future frigates.

   
“We are now approaching the end of basic design phase two. We have integrated the systems and equipment into the main whole warship design. We have two more combat system equipments that we have not been able to finalize. For the platform systems equipment, we do have all the major ones already in contract and gone through the design review” said Murad Anuar.

Asked about the anti-ship missile capability of the future RMN LCS, Mr Anuar told exclusively to Navy Recognition: “This is one equipment that has been changed as decided by the Government of Malaysia. We have finished the negotiations with Kongsberg Defense Aerospace and we will soon get into contract with Kongsberg for the Naval Strike Missile”.

Ciws maybe. If modular

Sam fate is pretty much sealed... the installed radar pretty much give it away

The state-of-the-art design and use of composite materials is meant to give the missile sophisticated stealth capabilities. The missile will weigh slightly more than 400 kg (880 lb) and have a range of at least 185 km (100 nm).

NSM is designed for littoral waters ("brown water") as well as for open sea ("green and blue water") scenarios. The usage of a high strength titanium alloy blast/fragmentation warhead from TDW is in line with the modern lightweight design and features insensitive high-explosive II. Warhead initiation is by a void-sensing Programmable Intelligent

Multi-Purpose Fuze designed to optimise effect against hard targets.
Like its Penguin predecessor, NSM is able to fly over and around landmasses, travel in sea skim mode, and then make random manoeuvres in the terminal phase, making it harder to stop by enemy countermeasures. While the Penguin is a yaw-to-turn missile, NSM is based on bank-to-turn flight (see Yaw (flight) and flight control).

The target selection technology provides NSM with a capacity for independent detection, recognition, and discrimination of targets at sea or on the coast. This is possible by the combination of an imaging infrared (IIR) seeker and an onboard target database. NSM is able to navigate by GPS, inertial and terrain reference systems.

After being launched into the air by a solid rocket booster which is jettisoned upon burning out, the missile is propelled to its target in high subsonic speed by a turbojet sustainer engine—leaving the 125 kg multi-purpose blast/fragmentation warhead to do its work, which in case of a ship target means impacting the ship at or near the water line.

Looks like it has a lighter color scheme than last time? or is it just the lighting?

Same serial number m45-07

guys,

malaysia got apache longbow heli?
