Representatives of the Thai, Indonesian, Malaysian and Singaporean navies met yesterday to improve their joint campaign against piracy in the Malacca Strait and nearby waters.

After the closed-door meeting of the 27th Malacca Strait Patrol Joint Coordinating Committee at the Royal Phuket City Hotel, Rear Admiral Chaiyanun Nuntawit from Royal Thai Navy Intelligence said, “This is an international drive to improve security and confidence for users of the Malacca Strait, one of the world’s most important seaways.”

He said that there had already been success, with reports that some pirates have moved their activities east, away from the Malacca Strait and into the South China Sea.

“The fact that there are fewer cases of piracy shows the success of our joint action.”

He added that he believed ships should help one another, by reporting to the authorities if they see pirates attack another vessel.

He also urged ship owners to install panic buttons that would send out an alarm with the position of the ship under attack. The ocean is so large, so it sometimes means time and money are wasted getting to the scene. [If alarms can be sent] we can work efficiency.

He noted that not all the pirates have gone. “Some pirates planted a fake bomb after robbing a Thai ship near Koh Tarutao [north of the Strait], stealing 2,000 tonnes of bunker oil and 5,000 litres of diesel on February 16. This is a new tactic by the pirates.”

Asked whether the four navies would also be taking joint action against illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing, he said, “IUU fishing is not currently [on the agenda]. We are focussing only on security in the Malacca Strait – something that is worth being serious about.”

The International Maritime Bureau recorded 409 pirate attacks in and around the Malacca Strait between 2009 and 2013. Of these, 288 took place in Indonesian waters.

we should seriously considering to buy this tank

Buy type 10 mbt.

PHL offers Sabah to win Malaysia’s support for UN case vs China

The Philippines has offered to downgrade its claim on Sabah in exchange for Malaysia’s support for its case against China before the United Nations.

The quid pro quo was contained in a note verbale the Department of Foreign Affairs handed to a representative of the Malaysian Embassy last week, a week after the visit of Malaysian Defense Minister Dato  Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

The note verbale, a copy of which was obtained by VERA Files, referred to the May 6, 2009 joint submission by Malaysia and Vietnam to the United Nations Commission on the Limits of the Continental Shelf (CLCS) in which Malaysia claimed an extended continental shelf (350 nautical miles from baseline) that was clearly projected from Sabah.

The Philippines, in an Aug. 4, 2009 note to the U.N. Secretary General, protested the joint submission because it effectively declared Sabah to be a Malaysian territory.

The Philippines claims ownership of Sabah, which is at present occupied by Malaysia, based on the title of the Sultan of Sulu who ceded proprietary rights over the 76,115-square-kilometer land to the Philippines in 1962.

In last week’s note verbale, however, the DFA informed the Malaysian government that it is “reviewing” its 2009 protest and its action would depend on Malaysia’s response to Manila’s two requests related to the South China Sea conflicting territorial claims.

The first request is for Malaysia to “confirm” that its claim of an extended continental shelf is “entirely from the mainland coast of Malaysia, and not from any of the maritime features in the Spratly islands.”

The DFA also requested Malaysia to confirm that it “does not claim entitlement to maritime areas beyond 12 nautical miles from any of the maritime features in the Spratly islands it claims.”

Former Philippine Permanent Representative to the United Nations Lauro Baja Jr. said the Philippine claim to Sabah will be “prejudiced” if Malaysia accedes to DFA’s request.

“We are in effect withdrawing our objection to Malaysia’s claim of ownership to Sabah,” he said. 

The main issue of ADS is that they need to take into account nearby troops and vehicles. Limiting their potential 

Imagine those are not the main concern

Someone would adapt the high rate of fire mini gun with milimeter radar and build into a mini phalanx ciws on top of a tank.

Imagine that....
