well radar not only scan other ship, it also provide safety to boat, for ship not hit other boat or sea object. 

1. Actually before pompom island between malaysia/Philippine border have clear sea line, there place is best place to detect before indruder cross to our small island. also already have some quantity patrol boat at that area, at nigh should enough provide 2-3 patrol with radar to scan the sea.

2. correct the boat is small, but means it undetected, it small still can detected with in 5-6km from small marine radar. not mention biger patrol boat can detech it around 10-15km。 also coastal radar too far from border sure hard to detect intruders small boat， unless we built outpost near border.

3. base on my view patrol boat photo at ESSCOM, i found some already have small marine radar, some only have GPS, like CB90 full with marine radar. so i can see small not issue, is our patrol boat should include with small marine radar.

4. Nowdays even RHIB, small patrol boat also have shot range radar and GPS use for patrol use. ship will run navigation radar 24h, it will scan sea surface, also to avoid other ship or object, only air surveillance radar will run/off base on requirement. 

Furuno radar on top on some esscom patrol boat








new boat for esscom also got radar

I prefer we go for mpa with decent weapons.

Haiz but unfortunately hisapputing did not put priority on mpa.
Seriously we should have go for it since 2013.
Atr72 with brimstone or hellfire and bae underbelly gatling would be my pick.

apparently mpa is included in RMK-11 instead of aew aircraft according to malaysian defence article before their server goes down .. 

  any moment now?any candidate or still too early to tell? 

pass few day i still think and study how many boat and ship we need.
at the end, we need at lease 24 high tech ship and 48-64 high tech boat which can provide 24h all weater operation.
current boat too simple, hard to patrol at night also too hot at noon.

sorry if i am wrong but i mean for mpa not aew..any candidate?haha 

polis marine still not merge with mmea ?  i tot they already merge..

wee should merge all, later call Coast Guard Malaysia 。 become 2nd navy。

thanks for the reply  wonder when will the decision be actually made though..it will still take time for the aircraft to be build before being delivered to us.. 

Why not? A single agency would greatly smooth out logistics and operations.

Why Malaysia flag at half mast?

What happened?

Saab Visby class corvette



a good kedah class replacement from opv duty

Ganti kedah opv role lah

Arm kedah pls at least to a proper corvette.

PL Tun Azizan
What's the PL stands for? Pengkalan laut?

Also happy b'day

you mean the modified oil rig..right?
happy birthday boss!   

Happy birthday.

i though one of it is a modified decommissioned oil rig..no? 

Happy belated birthday..    

wat is the second ship name ?

bagi kek

top kek punya gambar ni   

except Lumit, Sepnaggar and Johor base,
dont why other navy base so small Jetty, went they built they not think of future.
even now also need to double side park.
dont if buy LPD or even Gowind class need to stop-by.



Semporna base only allow 600 tons ship coming only due small bayou












full already Lumut Navy base, unless BNS move out, it take 50% off navy space.

Most likely the Boeing AH-6i could be chosen for the light scout attack heli instead of the MD530G.

I'm thinking of retiring.
so next military thread version who wanna be TS?

Àhhh i miss covering defence news.

Skrg pegi newspaper pulak. Hehe dulu ADJ.

Is this platform located at the fixed location ?  Or may be it can be moved to another location if situation neede?

BTW, I think that tower/pylon too near to the helipad....dangerous to landing heli

Still in show parade period. 3am wake up and carry our matress and bed to the marching field everyday and carry them back to the company at 630pm because some idiot lazy to tidy their layout...
