Norway Arctic exercise 'a provocation': Russia



Russia has criticised Norway’s ongoing military exercise on the two countries’ northern borders as a deliberate provocation used as a cover for gathering intelligence about its Arctic neighbour.

Between March 9 and March 18, Norway’s Armed Forces are carrying out their "Joint Viking" exercise, involving 5,000 troops in Finnmark county.

In response, Russia on Monday ordered 45,000 Russian troops as well as war planes and submarines to begin exercises, in a huge show of military force.

Aleksandr Khrolenko, a Putin loyalist who has held senior positions in Chechnya and South Ossetia, argued that Nato, through Norway, had deliberately provoked Russia, writing in Ria Novosti, Russia’s state newswire.
“Given the growing tensions between Russia and Nato, the choice of training area looks like a provocation,” Khrolenko wrote.

By bringing the Norwegian frigate Thor Heyerdahl to Kirkenes, a Norwegian town on Russia’s border, Norway was mounting “a threat to Russia’ Northern Fleet”, he argued.

The Norwegian made Naval Strike Missile (NSM) has a range of 185km, whereas Severomorsk, the main base for Russia’s northern fleet is just 150km away.

The Nato exercises, he argued, “violates longstanding principles of good neighbourliness in the Arctic”.

Norway had not invited Russian military observers to the exercise, he added, ending decades of common practice.

He also claimed that Nato was using its Arctic exercises to learn how to mount intelligence operations against Russia in the north, and also to increase “military pressure” on the Russian Arctic.

Ciws maybe. If modular

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

Essm pun no hope ady?

US Army approves Israeli surveillance balloon for purchase





http://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/US-Army-a...purchase-394405

MU90.. what are odds?

If not that, most likely british stingray

Not compatible with vls system

Sylver vls.. i just want so which version will rmn install. If they think of future. A50.

Then can install aster system with upgraded radar

basically MU90 i think, can use it in both Helicopter and ship.
so no need buy 2 type torpedo.

Nice NSM.

Russia, China may coordinate on nuclear-powered destroyer



Russia is very likely to start construction on the world's third nuclear-powered destroyer with the assistance of China.

Admiral Igor Kasatonov, retired deputy commander of the Russian Navy, said the construction of the 10,000-ton Leader-class guided-missile destroyer would begin in 2017. Vasily Kashin, a military expert from the Center for Analysis of Strategies and Technologies based in Moscow, said the project provides a new opportunity for China and Russia to deepen defense cooperation.

The Leader-class destroyer would be the world's third nuclear-powered destroyer after the USS Truxtun (DLGN-35) and USS Bainbridge (DLGN-25) of the United States. Since both American vessels were later redesignated cruisers, the Leader-class would in fact be the only nuclear-powered destroyer in the world. Kashin said that the Leader-class is larger than the two American ships.

Unlike the US Navy, Russia does not have overseas naval bases around the world, the piece said, and it makes sense for Russia and China to build nuclear-powered destroyers or cruisers that can remain at sea for longer. Kashin also said China is working hard on the design of a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier. The participation of China in the construction of the Leader-class destroyer may give China the experience it needs, he said.

Iraqi Air Force got CH-4B drone from China: Moscow think tank

ayam actually more happy with this news. hoping they could purchase enough as 1-1 replacement for older ships like Sipadan. bigger ships like gagah samudera are also needed for OPV role

as for nsm, i dun give a fark. I personally prefers MM40mkIII but if rmn thinks nsm is superior, then why not. at least them older MM40mkII can be used to equip our SGPV and kasturi class instead

DARPA moves ahead on long-range 100 Gbps wireless links



Pentagon researchers are taking the next step in developing an airborne wireless link that can transmit data at 100 gigabits per second over long distances.

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency has issued a Broad Agency Announcement for Phases 2 and 3 of the project, which could issue up to two awards totaling $27 million. The goal is to hit 100 Gbps across 100 kilometers (62 miles) for an air-to-ground link and 200 kilometers (124 miles) for an air-to-air link, each within a single radio-frequency channel.

Six contractors—Northrop Grumman, Raytheon, Battelle Memorial Institute, Silvus Technologies, Trex Enterprises and Applied Communication Sciences— took part in Phase 1 of the program, which explored high-order modulation at millimeter-wave frequencies and spatial multiplexing as the foundations for achieving 100 Gbps. Phase 1 technologies achieved rates in excess of 25 Gbps on a single carrier and 50 Gbps with dual polarization, DARPA said, showing the potential for 100 Gbps.

How fast is 100 Gbps? In October 2013, German researchers managed that speed, which was at the time declared to be a world record for wireless transmission, 10 times faster than Google Fiber. But that was in a lab, using lasers combined with electronics. So getting to 100 Gbps in the air over long distances would be quite a feat.

Basically, DARPA wants to provide forces in the field with the kind of connectivity they would get from a fiber optic network, but do it wirelessly. That 100 Gbps speed would be about 500 times faster than the military’s current wireless connections.

In the next phases of DARPA’s program, researchers will seek to develop a prototype airborne data link capable of being installed in a high-altitude aerial platform, operating at up to 60,000 feet, and functioning in all weather conditions, regardless of rain, fog or clouds. The system will include both airborne and ground nodes, with the airborne node’s size, weight and power requirements being compatible with high-altitude unmanned aircraft, DARPA said.

Dcns would most likely push for their sylver vls instead of america vls. Basically a whole European package

This eliminate essm package as they only been tested on those america vls. Unless, we are going to pay to adapt essm to syvler vls, which is highly unlikely. The best option is to either use mica or aster 15 system

Aster 30 is of course most likely out. So i would say aster 15 will have better chance than essm while mica is the most likely candidate

So hard to find lima air show videos

2013 got alot

since no one posted it yet, I will posted here the brief interview with Mr Anuar Director of the Defence & Security Division at Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation Berhad (BHIC) during LIMA 2015
