Royal Thai Air Force F-16 accident



A Thai Air Force F-16 from 102 Squadron skidded off a taxiway and crashed into a drainage ditch at Korat Air Base at 13:00hrs today. The pilot ejected and was slightly hurt.
The F-16A ADF suddenly lurched forward almost 100 metres when the engine was started and was idling. The plane slid into the ditch and the pilot successfully ejected from the aircraft.

Dont know about this..... maybe true or maybe not. U know la when we are facing that mighty destroyer or big frigate...... it is a provocation already.

But run like dogs is like what?? how does it looks like??

TLDM...kapal limited. So semua dia belasah. FAC, corvette, NGPV, frigate

Kadang2 je diorng dtg..... yg permanent coast guard je. Tak ingt kelas ape....tp frigate je.

China's WS-64 touted as first precision anti-ship rocket launcher

China's WS-64 is the world's first precision-guided anti-ship missile rocket launcher system, reports Duowei News, a US-based Chinese political news outlet.

The WS-64, which has been on display at recent military exhibitions around the world, is the latest addition to the Weishi or "Guardian" multiple rocket launcher systems developed by Sichuan Aerospace Industry Corporation, a subsidiary of the state-owned China Aerospace Science and Technology Corp, the country's main aerospace contractor.

The defining feature of the WS-64 is its ability to effectively strike different types of targets at high precision thanks to its composite inertial/GPS + broadband passive radar homing guidance technology. The WS-35 and WS-3, for example, can already hit stationary targets with a high degree of accuracy, but the WS-64's guidance system allows it to take down moving targets like warships.

This means the WS-64 is China's and potentially the world's first precision-guided anti-ship weapon system, Duowei said, adding that it will be particularly attractive to countries without advanced fighter jets or air-launched anti-ship weapons as it enables attacks on enemy vessels from long distances.

The WS-64, which needs to be paired with a heavy, high-mobility vehicle as a base, carries 300-millimeter rockets and has a range of 120 to 280 kilometers with a launch preparation time of only eight to nine minutes. The system is also said to have highly adaptable and simplified launch capabilities because it can launched both vertically or from a tilted angle.

Importantly, the system comes with an INS/GNSS navigation system that is compatible with China's Beidou Navigation Satellite System. The WS-64 claims a circular error probable (CEP) of less than 30 meters, and when in radar homing mode, the CEP is reduced even further to less than 10 m.

Duowei suggests that the WS-64 could form a key component of the naval defense system of a small or mid-sized country, claiming that its deterrent power is the next best thing to having a nuclear weapon.

So what to do? Stay silent despite of the intrusion? This operation is performed inside Indonesian territory, not Malaysian...what's wrong with that?

No, Australia has stopped for now....Now, Malaysia does it more often
Already sent......but there's nothing wrong with starting an operation in Indonesia's own territory. Indonesia has no intention to intrude Malaysia territory like what Malaysia is doing, so why so concerned?

http://www.cnnindonesia.com/internasional/...es-ke-malaysia/

Yes...past intrusions in South are always reported...One of their captains are sacked and it is an embarassment for Australia. Things do get quieter in South...

Since China hardly Kacau them inregards to SCS,

So they decided to buat bodo and bising with us?

Don't mind if Malaysia makes noise if Indonesian ships do stray into your water.....Actually, it is not naval intrusions...but air intrusions

Depa tak tau.... klu perang military base jd main target. Dgn rumah depa pun dpt tempias bombing tu

i hope military plane not use too old, 40 year max, de TNI C130 crash already 51 year use....
same to RMAF C130 already 45 year.
altough getting 4 unit A400M, still no enough to replace all C130. should get 2-4 more. than combine with more few CN235. than retire all C130H
i think TNI or Indo Gov will get new Airlift ASAP after this accident to get back the image.

Yes if we are only looking for only a tactical airlift replacement of the C130s then will be the C-130J also C-27J, C-295, now add new model KC-390, AN-178

However over the year ATM can't move our some strategic hardware or large item during logistic requirement or operation , also long and far place on UN mission,  so we need to add some strategic airlifters capability and long range， so only have A400M and C17 in market, Russia IL76 is out off question.
also we already bough CN235, getting new C130J look like redundant.

agree .....
a lease no need to rent MAS/AA plane already.
but just no hope on that...
anyway our A400M will fit refueling module later.  which able to provide 3-4 time refuelling for Su-30 or 5-6 time for F18.

apa plak kedah
ganti hang nadim class laaa
