US-made cluster bombs found after recent Saudi coalition air strike



Big brother US don't wanna talk about Saudi 'war crimes violations' here?

red alert?

goes to wonder why the EC725 was not chosen when both is also marketed as tactical transport heli

Tat issue is minor for a heli. Both nh90 and ec725 was never designed to be desert operated. Nh90 also got issue in desert deployment as noted 

For deploymen purposet.. well a ramp is always better. Do note that the nh90 was close to be chosen if not for some last minute changes for non ramp heli to participate for our cssr requirements

at 2009 if not wrong Nh90 not in our helicopter tender, Eurocopter propose EC725, other is S92, AW101，Mh-17.
NH90 no issue now in desert operation, NH90 use alot in Afghanistan and mali as CSAR。
Nh90 design is for Navy and best helicopter for navy due to balancing in term size, space & technology。  later Army version as transportation/SCAR helicopter.
Nh90 have very long range fly so not really need refuel.  it can fly 900km with 2.5 tons load. 1600km ferry range with external fuel tank.
Special Ops use EC725 more suitable， it design more to Air-force and Ops team use.

Aiyo.. troop deplyoment purpose. A ramp entrance win anytime against door. Something the ec725 does not have is a ramp

Bo point talking armor. Both heli can be damaged even with a rpg7

well France army no have EC725, they only have Puma and Cougar. now start replace to NH90。NH90 fully Cabon fiber composite body make advantage in CSAR。
well France Airforce have EC725.
there Special Ops have some helicopter also some from AIrforce/Army
so depend mission they can use many type helicopter，if needed they can ask from Airforce/Army too.

More importantly an ally and friendly combatant on the eastern side of Iran. If/when the bullets fly, Iran can potentially be engaged from its eastern and western borders simultaneously.

More unreported cases in Malaysia . I was a victim during recruit , hospitalised coz lack of medical attention . RSAT did nothing other than giving me Paracetamols.

Of course Malaysian will say Malaysian army is better than Singapore army, and another way around. Why need such comparison? . We're neighbour, we shouldn't scare each other. 

Actually they earned less money
Boustead have to borrow money from bank rather than directly received money from the government.
Whenever the yard reached certain phases of the project only they received money from the government.
The slower the project the more interest the yard have to pay the less profit they get.

Mainly the project have ceiling price.
They will be trouble if they try to make the project more expensive.

If anyone is curious, the RPG the guy is carrying (which is actually a chinese-made Type 69 grenade launcher) has a HE-airburst warhead for anti-personnel duties.

On impact, the warhead will detonate a small explosive charge to 'bounce' itself to a height of 2 meters where it then detonate the main charge and scatters 800 steel ball bearings along with it.

but according to description above, the 'HE-airburst' that you mention sounds more like a frag warhead
