Born a fighter, Malaysia’s forgotten hero now leads a quiet life ![]() Despite being called ‘Bujang Berani’ or hero in the village, Awang still lives in a humble home in Nanga Skrang. — TRP pic by Dennis Wong KUCHING, Aug 28, 2015: He is born a fighter. Malaysia’s sole George Cross recipient, 85-year-old Awang anak Raweng, is scheduled to meet Queen Elizabeth of England for the biennial reunion in Buckingham Palace next month, but with his current health condition, he may miss the event this year. On Monday, Awang was hospitalised due to intestinal complications and has since been at the Sarawak General Hospital. A visit by The Rakyat Post, showed the forgotten hero was out of danger, but other than his health condition, he looked disappointed. “I don’t know If I can make it to London or not. I still feel very weak now,” said Awang. Awang is one of the 20 living George Cross recipients among the Commonwealth nations in the world. He was awarded for his gallantry in action in the jungles of Kluang at the height of the Malayan insurgency. Since receiving the award in 1963, the British government pays him a pension of £100 (RM646). He has been invited to attend the biennial reunion in Buckingham Palace and to meet up with his former comrades from the Worchestershire and Sherwood Foresters Regiment in London. Awang’s military records were lost and forgotten with the formation of Malaysia, and it was only in 2004 that he finally received an invite to attend the Merdeka Day Parade after an effort to track down forgotten veterans was carried out. Awang was 23 years old when he volunteered as an Iban tracker attached with the British Army in Johor. “I just wanted to join the fight. Being an Iban and hearing stories of our ancestors in warfare made me feel like my service was needed,” said Awang. But despite his eagerness to do his part for the conflict then, Awang had never heard of Johor nor knew where it was on the map. On May 27, 1951, Awang, with a 20-man British Army platoon, was ambushed in Kluang, killing three of his comrades and leaving two others injured. British Army records revealed that despite suffering gunshot wound on his leg and losing massive amount of blood, Awang returned volley after volley in the firefight, where he was outgunned and outnumbered. As the rest of the platoon members retreated to safety, Awang was left alone to fend off the attackers from advancing towards their position, saving the life of Private Griff Hughes in the incident. After the war, Awang has led a quiet life in his village in Nanga Skrang, being a farmer. “I had my share of action. After Malaysia was formed, I just wanted to go back living as a civilian,” he said. Now, despite being warded at the hospital, the war hero is still upbeat and full of spirit. “I just can’t wait to be discharged and get back home. Lying in bed bores me,” said the man who never backs down in a fight. http://www.therakyatpost.com/news/2015/08/...s-a-quiet-life/ |

QUOTE(KYPMbangi @ Aug 29 2015, 07:43 PM) I think it is a recent news as it is on the home page of the ThaiArmedForce site. Looks like it's a updated news from the old news. That is why they highlighted the date. Well I don't why the year is 2558. http://www.thaiarmedforce.com/ QUOTE 27/08/2558 19.00 น.

How Patriot Missiles Will Stay a Step Ahead of the Enemy ![]() QUOTE Over the past 15 years, Raytheon has invested more than $150 million of its own money into something called Gallium Nitride, or GaN. The new Patriot radar uses the material in a new semiconductor that promises vast gains in power and efficiency.Today's radars typically use Gallium Arsenide semiconductors, but the GaN semiconductors can operate at higher voltages, greater radio frequency power density, and smaller sizes than their predecessors. GaN can run hotter and cheaper than GaAs semiconductors—in essence, they can handle higher amounts of energy. Why is this beneficial? It all comes down to the way modern radar works. Instead of swiveling a radar to scan the sky, new arrays use transmit/receive antenna modules that are mounted by the thousands on flat faces to steer beams electronically. Hence the name Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar. Having a souped-up, more sensitive AESA radar is an obvious advantage, but there's something else: The small, powerful GaN panels can be mounted on the reverse sides of a flat-faced AESA radar chassis, enabling the system to sense incoming attacks from 360 degrees. "A single rotating radar cannot support missile engagements for stressing targets, or something called a missile raid—the near-simultaneous arrival of multiple missiles from different axes," says Norm Cantin, Director of Patriot AESA programs at Raytheon. "Having 360-degree capability enables the military to better defend against threats from all directions." http://www.popularmechanics.com/military/r...allium-nitride/ |

French eyes for a Russian tiger ![]() QUOTE Fire control systems are crucial to a tank’s performance. “It’s no good having great armour and a great gun if you can’t see your enemy and if you can’t hit them when you do”, Nick de Larrinaga, an analyst at IHS Janes, a UK defence consultancy, told this website. The Thales exports to Russia are no secret and began long before the EU imposed its Russia arms ban, in July last year. The French firm started selling its systems to Russian arms-maker Rosoboronexport, which works hand-in-hand with Uralvagonzavod, in 2007. It’s believed to have delivered more than 1,000 so far. Thales, in 2012, also let Rosoboronexport manufacture the systems under licence at a facility in Vologda, north of Moscow. Neither France nor Russia do transparency on defence contracts. https://euobserver.com/investigations/129953 |

QUOTE(BorneoAlliance @ Aug 29 2015, 04:33 PM) DARPA's Next Generation Drone Will Launch and Land on Moving Airplanes ![]() These "gremlins," as the researchers at the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) have dubbed them, would be cheaper than standard drones and have a lifespan of about 20 flights. DARPA envisions the gremlins as a middle ground between missile-like weapons, which can be used just once, and platforms like piloted aircraft, which are expensive, complex and long-lasting. "We wouldn't be discarding the entire airframe, engine, avionics and payload with every mission, as is done with missiles, but we also wouldn't have to carry the maintainability and operational cost burdens of today's reusable systems, which are meant to stay in service for decades," the agency said in a statement. To launch these gremlins, the military wants to turn large C-130 cargo planes into makeshift aircraft carriers. But first, researchers will have to develop the gremlins. DARPA put out a call last year to the aerospace industry, and on Friday announced it will host a workshop in September for potential "proposers." http://sputniknews.com/us/20150829/1026323...e-pentagon.html QUOTE(kerolzarmyfanboy @ Aug 29 2015, 08:28 PM) tissue kot |
