i think if happen in MY, sore wave the media & politic

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.

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.

Personally i support RMN get NH90 as 6 ASW helicopter and pair with Gowind 。。。
For Army NH90 or AW101 also OK, if wan more bigger can can get Chinook.
but many need consideration like Budget, support， operation cost etc。。。

well Lynx & NH90 is 2 different class, one is small or one is Medium class helicopter, both have own different market
- NH90 bigger size than can perform much more role。NH90 bigger space can both ASW and ASuW warfare terminal but still carry passenger 6-10 for CSAR or transportation。
- but Lynx if Terminal and ASW system install in helicopter, space will be full, than your wont't able to carry passenger anymore except sensor Operator and Winch Operator
- IF you only have 1 helicopter one Navy ship, NH90 can do much more role as some mention above. this advantage of space and much long range than Lyxn.

well Nh90 getting retrofit in 2013-2014 to fix the problem, and slowly ,many Nh90 user start getting IOC or FOC. and going to mature.。。
latest news RMN sending pilot to traning Seahawks, so high possible getting Seahawks ASW in future。plus our defense Minister seems pro america product.
generally i believe Seahawks and AW159 either 1 will get our ASW deal in future.
evey hardware hv Pro and Cons, also price, depend which 1 suite your your need and budget, also political reason。

very good facility, seems no problem built 10,000 tons ship.
SSv in shipyard .... if RMN no money to get branded shipyard, than can consider get 2 of this.

seems not see any slower construction work, our pass 2 budget continue pay for the project.
from last picture we see, the BNS in process produce each Gowind module from steel receive.
it should take 1.5-2 year to make required module than only join all together in dock some where around late 2017.

AIRSTRIP near Completion


In early September 2015, AMTI released images showing that China had effectively completed construction of its first Spratly Islands airstrip on Fiery Cross Reef, was continuing work on its second at Subi Reef, and was preparing to begin work on a third at Mischief Reef. Four months later, China has not only landed three civilian test flights on Fiery Cross, but is progressing even faster than expected with its work at Subi and especially Mischief. Construction of the Fiery Cross airstrip took at least seven months from the start of grading, which was visible by February 2015. Work at Subi, where grading began in June or July, seems to be proceeding slightly quicker. And at Mischief, where grading began in September or October, construction is already approaching completion just three to four months later. Meanwhile China is rapidly building out other facilities on both Mischief and Subi.


The entire runway at Mischief Reef as of January 8





Subi Reef as of January 8.
