What's the big deal about them? They are just MLRS rockets and a country with a good defense industry as India shouldn't have problems like this?

^^^ Looks like this is the area where KD Jebat got hit with a commercial vessel in a collision as the line is not that smooth.

This pic is taken in 2008 if i remember correctly

I saw this in Google Earth. Seems like 2 of the aircraft shelter in Gong Kedak Airbase has lost it's earth cover. There's also what look's like a damage to the roof. Have they fix it yet?

PLAN 1 year  Commissioning ship more powerful than our total 50 year RMN。  
even they slow down the construction navy ship due to not enough navy crew to handle too many new ship, PLAN even call back Retired crew to service back。
no choice they have strong politic will to fight with Japan and America。 also vietnum/Philippine
the ship also not include there coast guard ship some more。

Definitely not not ATGM, more like HEAT round.

based on the fume extractor position and design, definitely not the M1 or the leopard 2. Both western does not fire ATGM from its barrel except russian

Look very close to challenger

why not atgm?

ns boy angry foreigners packing parachutes... of course la.. overseas jump most of it uses parachutes pack locally there, contracted by ST kinetics unless freefall then diff case... mostly in thailand or taiwan.. local jump pack locally.. who so free go fly rigging team to overseas to just pack parachutes.. a lot of other things also done by foreigners.. mre, armor cleaning, building construction, uniform, canteen, training..

those are non core jobs that are not critical during peacetime or even during wartime.. in a resource scarce nation, it is best to be prudent with both manpower and $$$... all able handed manpower will be given priority to combat roles, the rest support.. those that non-constructive will be outsourced to the most worthy supplier

well... foreigners are cheaper... just like msia, plenty of unemployed but why still bring in foreigners?

hahaha, then why dont get them to build hdb flats, roads and even clean the walkways, heck even better, get the females to do ns and ask all to work as free labour... dude, it is not just about cost... it is about meeting the country's defense objective in the most efficient manner... of course it is hard to understand but oh well...

I'm getting suspicious. Too many fire to be a coincident.

most likely not HSE goyang kaki
most worker dont bother aboyt HSE, oily glove just throw one side. Some even smoke
HSE canot be babysitting 24/7

the source is pretty dubious, dailymail is a tabloid after all.

Are there already any of this version actually in ATM service? (actual service, not for testing only)
Could be one reason.

Maybe the intention was to based the camo stripes from TNI-AU Sukhoi but the light grey colour was just too light.

What's the camo pattern that our soldiers are using now when patrolling the streets of kl? damn cun leh

I wonder where will this fighter get its stealth features? I don't see any angular features that usually is associated with stealth design.

IMO, this plane is more like a high end 4th gen jet trainer more than a 5th gen technology demonstrator stealth plane.

The worst case is now the true Japan 5th gen fighter F-3 still only on the power point stage. Normally even develop a brand new jet fighter in same generation also at least need 10~15yrs. By the time F-3 really start to mass production, USA & China already have huge amount of 5th gen jet fighters and the progressive of the project for 6th gen fighter also already has been started.

I believe now Japan already too late to join the 5th gen game. It is better pay more 'protection' money to USA for  the F35.
