China is in the process of updating its fleet of long-range heavy bombers and its newest H-6K should make the United States nervous, military expert David Axe argues.
if you were to study it properly based on how the weapons would be arranged and used on the pak fa especially weapons that will stored in their stealth compartment
it still a heavy air to air combat aircraft despite it can mount land and surface attack missiles. Multi-role it is but air to air is still its main role indead
Even we have them in our inventory, we would still need our f18 to carry out the proper land and surface attack.
So pak fa won't be a good deal for our mrca consideration?:'(
First it too expensive and not yet a fully a matured products. Something our air force would like to avoid
Second, the mrca was intended to fill the gap between our su30mkm and f18. Our mkm is geared mainly to air to air which was previously our migs roles.
F18 for surface and land roles. Basically, the price range should be affordable as well. A good example is how the india mrca deal is although they take the.more expensive route and in the end have to cut the quantity
Third, i personally think that pak fa is not a good contender for mrca but instead a our mkm replacement or supplements, it a very good contender something like the f35 would be considered
Lastly.. since we are already quite familar with russian system like on the mkm. It make things easier as well for o&m training.
well, our mkm dont need replacing i suppose, but it'll definitely be good to have the pak fa to supplement the current squadron and have some over at the other side of the sea. (dont think all these will be happening within a 5 years period, so by then, Pak fa should be tested and mature significantly)
oh, f35? aint it too expensive to operate? and too many problem to begin with?
what do you guys really think about this?
a. have clearly separate and dedicated squadron for air superiority and surface/land roles?
or
b. mrca that does both but probably are not as good in both
i suppose the final decision is based on financial capability tho
1 biji mistral ~700 m euro 18 biji rafale ~3.5b euro Thats about 20 b ringgit
Where we want to get the money ? even if we managed to find the money,its a political suicide move for najib...he has many scandals right now involving billions ringgit...
double up all the orders,
he'll pay by cash from personal account, got balance somemore yo.
SG aside, which ASEAN is next most well equip military now?
i want to say is us, but looking at how indon, thai and vietnam spending these days, both on infra and military, i dont think we'll be in the same league soon.

i will vote him if he really wants to buy those ships
see see, he buy those ship with tax payer money for 2billion euro each then transfers to 1mdb, and re valued at 700million euro, and he'll sell it again to "balance" the account!
probably just for show, but does it have any actual application for dismantling the whole jeep and reassemble them again?
the jeep look like most part is connected or link to other by mean of simple screw and latches, does it compromise the integrity of the jeep when i goes off road or in high speed?

China's Animated Video Shows Them Dominating American Military
An animated and entertaining Chinese propaganda video shows their seemingly untouchable military tearing through the American Navy and taking a U.S. military island installation by force. All American resistance is futile as aircraft are swatted out of the sky, vehicles are pummeled, and the U.S. Pacific fleet is sent to to the depths of the ocean.
Although the video is just a cartoon, China has been increasingly flexing their military muscles toward the West in recent times.
China has dredged several shallow reefs in the South China Sea into armed military bases complete with airstrips. The artificial islands are in contested waters claimed by several other nations.
A several hour military parade was recently conducted in Beijing. Around 12,000 troops, several jets, tanks, fighting vehicles (some painted a fabulous blue color) and various rocket and missile launchers (some whose purpose is to supposedly take out American super aircraft carriers and entire island military installations) marched through the street in a well executed manner that screamed of exceptional discipline. Russia’s president Vladimir Putin was in attendance, yet no Western leaders were. Although the parade’s intent was to supposedly commemorate the defeat of the Japanese in WWII, the point was clear. China is one of the top military super powers in the world, regardless of their current economic instability. If anything, their economic woes should raise concerns of unpredictable military actions and operations to bolster the economy by means of the defense industry à la the United States.
Multiple Chinese warships entered U.S. territorial waters for the first time off the coast of Alaska, and it wasn’t a coincidence that the intrusion occurred while President Obama was there on business.
The Chinese are not flexing against the U.S. alone. As Putin stood with the Chinese president at the impressive Chinese military parade, he also had a spy ship probing a U.S. submarine base off the southeast coast of the U.S. while the Chinese warships were checking in on Obama’s trip to Alaska.
The Western alliance is weak right now. NATO is in a disgusting state of impotence that continues to deteriorate. The people of the U.S. are divided on issues that don’t even represent them, and are trying decide on whether to elect a criminal-communist or a criminal-moron for president. We probably look ripe for the plucking to outside forces.
However, to those 2nd-world wannabes with their counterfeit weaponry, I say “bring it,” and you will find out just how little you rate. ~Will
