add to atreyuangel
Mistral as LHD so platfrom capability to join operation from different unit like TUDM, TDM, MMEA even other counters defense helicopter during join operation
this reason we wan to get LHD/LPD or MRSS. it improve alot country ATM capability.
our TUDM EC725 already land in Mistral during Join France-Malaysia exercise in 2015


our TUDM EC725 also come with folder blade usually only see in Navy helicopter


Last time the dsa, some one told me that the ec725 was chosen partly also because it will operate on the mistral if we want it in the future. French guarantee a full workability if it is chosen
The ec725 was develop partly for the french as well. So it does make sense

Why need to compare with SG...?
Laut china selatan is not singapore problem
If china park her aircraft carrier at south china sea what type of ship we want to counter for... Laksamana class?
Why suddenly sg keluar. By right our closest ally is sg itself.
Everyone think indonesia is our closset ally just because we are both muslim majority country. Reality wise, we have always been on a tip top relationship with each other especially border issues.
If we have a mistral, we can always request sg to provide their formidable class for escort and long range defence. We have better chance of asking them then asking indonesia

true, still need usd 500 million for 2 P8
anyway P1 can't buy lah, not 1 use 4 engine turbofan engine already, too high cost and fuel consumption. not suite to as.
some more use P8, no issue B737 outsource serives to MAS.
Japan also wont sell lah. They are not ready to sell yet. But interior wise it more of p8 on a jepun body.

well it any related to Singapore? we get Mistral or LHD/MRSS is our ATM operation need.
so funny suddenly come out SG....

Tak tahu.. i still dunno why everyone say sg is our rival when they are our closset ally. We used each other as benchmark yet but if any conflict we will help each other
