i see... msia punya ikut british?
wonder how thick is their armor...

please revive A -10 Warthog!

I can't stress this pet peeve I have with people who still believe in this.

Modern heat-seeking missiles, MANPADS included, do not directly attack a jet engine. Modern IR sensors home in on the overall IR heat signature  of an aircraft rather than the engines themselves. Sure, the exhaust plume is potentially the largest IR signature an aircraft has, but modern seekers are  smart and sensitive enough to look for other IR signatures that tell it if the target is actually an aircraft, such as the heat radiating from an aircraft's leading edge and compression fan rather than blindly following a large IR signature that could possibly be a flare.

The 'home on jet engine exhaust' homing technique only works on earlier generations of heat-seeking missiles. Nowadays a heat-seeking missile can home in on its target from almost any angle.

Also, an anti-aircraft missile don't 'hit' an aircraft per se, shrapnel from it does. The warhead of an anti-aircraft missile doesn't actually do the killing, its function is only to propel the shrapnel towards its target. A pre-fragmented warhead casing ensures the shrapnel is directed in a controlled cone, much like a shotgun blast.

Looks fragile as hell. A good shot amidships with any kind of heavy weapon would snap the hull like a piece of plywood.

Don't think that would be such a good idea. These things can potentially swallow a lot of money now and in the future from the maintenance & operating costs. Finally, in the end become white elephant like Thai Aircraft Carrier.

I don't think Malaysian Navy right now can afford to deploy warships larger than Frigates-sized ships.

  1 min all the rounds fired?

indon making lots of procurement these days... jokowi bowing to the military

Lol I really doubt Indonesia capable to maintain their fleet ?

Kind of worry will end up like their old jet fighter that grounded w/o spare parts or ammunition.

that's their problem... we better care bout our own problem 1st

weak indon good for the region

looks spacious

good to see Russia have taken crew's comfort as one of the important aspect

seems like indon administration is getting worse under jokowi...

indon minister / MP ... bodoh tahap lanun.

Malaysia and Indon wayang kulit only

everytime, indonesia election period "Gayang Malaysia etc etc" Same as always over reaction by indonesia which is rather funny given that they are being intruded more often by Australia in their souther territory 

intrusion or not is debatable.. but the reaction towards these incidents is bad for diplomacy... for instance the sinking of fishing boats of neighboring countries, the force landing of singkie commercial chartered planes, the execution of foreign citizens on death rows, nationalization of foreign investment.... and all are towards non hostile countries... they should in the spirit of asean lodge a protest or give warning first...

That because your side is not reporting it.. wont want another embargo happening 

because malaysia navy is busy in the south china sea.. i doubtful it our corvettes.. Most likely just those small patrol boats. If so, it rather a big overreaction by indonesia side

I am sure if you ask LTZ, he will say there a few time indonesia vessel also stray into our waters. Only that we dont make noise. But in indonesia, it always an sensational news if involved malaysia

the problem is the indons think it is an intrusion while others dispute it, the inefficiency of indon gov is horrible, the military dont coordinate well with its civil authority whether is it aviation or maritime... if you think msian military/civil dept are tidor, wait till you meet indon officials... they go all out to create trouble so they can get paid (via fine or angpow)

look at the cases above...

no with us only... with many other parties that are not hostile to them... and many are within asean... there's no need for such unnecessary actions but yet the ppl within jokowi's administration are causing so much trouble for others...

i initially thought sby would be the one causing ruckus since he was a former indon general with links to the 1998 riot and human rights violation at east timor but he did a good job managing indon i would say yet this new guy which so many ppl have high hopes on is gong down south
