do you mind sharing what are the projects?

No response, parliment nearly empty during that time

To be fair, it seems now Malaysia has a lot more low-level threats to deal with than possible conventional warfare. Cross-border kidnappings, returning Malaysian IS jihadists, Southern Philippine militants, uncontrolled illegal immigrants entry and maritime territory disputes (arguable as some issues do involve intervention by RMN, some issues are law-enforment issues handled by APMM).

With these mounting issues and limited budget, I'm pretty sure there are some merits for putting extra effort to solve these problems.

Looks like whatever sph that will be chosen in the future for atm it will be tracked version

Just hearsay from industry players

its role is air superiority right? same as F22?

yes, but also a long-range deep strike fighter

maritime boss especially coast guard

most also MPA

K2

apa lagi K9 lah... bundle with K2 also good

i support k9 for malaysia, pzh 2000 is too heavy and i dont trust china made weapon unless it something like manpad plus track-armor is good at least can survive small grenade

to be honest, i rather take pzh2000 to K9.

because it most likely be cheaper or as cheap as those from korea as we will be using those overhauled instead of brand new

Plus, it german made, pzh2000 fire faster and more shell storage

or better

Chinese Coast Guard heavy patrol vessel CCG 2901 takes to the ocean on sea trials


The CCG 2901 departs for sea trials on the East China sea

China's (and possibly the world's) largest coast guard patrol vessel, CCG 2901 has left port on 21 May for sea trials in the East China Sea. The heavy patrol vessel, estimated to weigh 12,000 tons with a hull length of 161 meters and a beam of 22 meters is an obvious sign of the level of seriousness the Chinese government is indulging to protect seas that is sees as its territorial waters.

The patrol vessel is thought to be capable of long-range transoceanic patrols, but is expected to be deployed mainly to the East China sea region, where China has significant maritime territorial disputes with Japan and Taiwan, centered on the ownership of the Senkaku Island chain (Diaoyu Islands in Chinese) and its surrounding waters.

The CCG 2901 is armed with a 76mm gun, two 30mm autocannons and a number of smaller machine guns. It is also capable to deploy and house up to two Z-8 heavy transport helicopters for various rescue and law-enforcement duties. A number of smaller boats carried onboard also enable it to send out boarding parties or anti-piracy teams.

The CCG 2901's sister vessel of the same class, the CCG 2501 is still under construction and is expected to come into service sometime in 2016.

more like warship already 12k tons pfftt...

there news in Russian, that russia have cancelled the mistral deal

Ship lelong lelong.. siapa nak beli

LTZ suruh rmn propose beli

lupakan dulu le kot bab2 ni....mcm takde ape2 perkembangan dah skarng ni. Jiran 3 step forwards kita 1 step back.

While I'm all for constant improvement for the armed forces, I don't like Malaysia getting into arms races for the hell of it. Too many countries ruined themselves putting military priorities first.

If a neighbor buys something, doesn't mean you have to buy something too.

it operational requirement
not just for the sake of having it

what arm race in asean? it just that a common enenmy have appear while others take steps to counter it. we pulak like ltz say move backward

apa lah Mindef ini

bos bos lu tak marah? satu benda pun macam tak ada. Not 1 or 2 years. For the next 5 years

No big ticket buys doesn't mean no buys at all. Not as if suddenly Malaysia declare 0% military budget for the next 5 years.

Also no offense, but I seriously think if PRC is serious in taking the SCS by force and US by some reason decides not to intervene, i 'd say the whole of ASEAN can't do jack to repel them.
