MD530G not really a attack helicopter, it just fire support helicopter

just building module, still long time to wait. other year we can see Gowind start do final assembly in dry dock

very ugly design ..... hopefully final real product much more nicer.

follow maritime law, water territory is 12nm （22km） from land, but 200km from land is exclusive economic zone (EEZ) 。
well china patrol ship is park outside Luconia reef about 80km to miri/bintulu, because Luconia reef is most south reef claim by china in south china sea (China 9 dash line),
and china use china media to publicize they already own Luconia reef and there patrol ship park there to prove they claim and monitor any activity in Luconia reef.
if any malaysian military personal on Luconia reef, there media will hu-ha malaysia invade China reef, this using media tactic.
Vietnam/Philipione also start doing re-claimation land in South china sea reef/island before china come to take.
for now is malaysian Gov is enough brave to make Reclaimation land and setup outpost in Luconia reef to official claim our territory? is risk between economic/politic/military issue with china.
so as long china don't go to Luconia reef. so to malaysia, both is happy for now. but eventually at the end China will take Luconia reef too .... we are nothing to fight with china in Economic and military。
we should do Reclaimation land now before too late.

agree,
sovereign stone not help anything ... because not people.
we need have reclaimation land and outpost in luconia shoal to show it belong to as. 300m2 size reclaimation land should be enough.
so to Vietnam/Philippine they do re-claimation land and outpost now in there claim island/shoal in SCS.

U.S. Navy, Royal Malaysian Navy Submarine Leaders Participate in Guam Staff Talks[SIZE=7]
By Mass Communication Specialist 2nd Class Zac Shea, USS Frank Cable Public Affairs | USS Frank Cable (AS-40) | December 03, 2015


POLARIS POINT, Guam (NNS) -- Key members of the U.S. Navy and Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN) submarine forces met at Submarine Squadron 15 headquarters on Polaris Point, Guam, for the RMN and U.S. Navy Submarine Staff Talks 2015.

The talks, presided over by Rear Adm. William Merz, commander, Submarine Group 7, and Rear Adm. Abdul Rahman, commander, RMN Submarine Force, focused on reviewing and establishing plans for joint trainings and exercises in 2016 and beyond.

The event included a luncheon aboard the submarine tender USS Frank Cable (AS 40), and tours of the guided-missile submarine USS Ohio (SSGN 726) and training facilities at Submarine Squadron 15.

"We are a young submarine force," said Rahman. "We've learned a lot through these talks and trainings, especially on safety. I think it's wonderful."

RMN has two submarines homeported in Sepanggar, Malaysia, the first of which was delivered in 2009.

"Whether a large force or a small force, we all contribute to the undersea team," said Merz. "What's great about working with the Malaysians is that they have a strong sense of their capabilities."

The event is one of many joint trainings and exchanges between Malaysia and the United States. American submarines and submarine tenders have conducted multiple subject matter expert exchanges on topics such as quality assurance and safety when visiting Malaysian ports.

The talks culminated with Merz and Rahman signing an action item agreement that lined out plans and steps to improve and expand collaboration between the two navies.

"Ashore our cultures are different, but underwater they're very well aligned," said Merz. "I see a great future for our two navies. RMN has exactly what you look for in an ally."

Malaysia, an island nation of more than 30 million in the Pacific Ocean, has been allied with the U.S. since it gained its independence in 1957. It is considered a partner by the U.S. in matters of maritime domain awareness and regional stability in the Pacific region.

Airbus Defence and Space Delivers High-Performance Radar for Protection of Malaysian Coastlines[SIZE=7]
(Source: Airbus Defence and Space; issued Dec 17, 2015)
ULM, Germany --- Airbus Defence and Space will deliver five of its newest SPEXER 2000 Coastal radars to Malaysia in order to monitor coastlines and prevent illicit intrusions. Under the multimillion Euro contract, deliveries will be completed in 2016.

"SPEXER 2000 Coastal is the worldwide first security radar using the latest radar technology of Active Electronically Scanning Array (AESA). Its capability to detect even smallest targets in difficult littoral environments ensures a very high level of situational awareness providing security forces with additional reaction time", explained Thomas Müller, Head of Electronics and Border Security at Airbus Defence and Space.

SPEXER 2000 Coastal is optimized for the surveillance of coastal areas and maritime infrastructure such as harbours and oil fields. With an instrumented range of 133 NM (247 km), its high doppler and velocity resolution as well as its high sea clutter suppression, it is able to detect and track even very small and slowly moving objects such as swimmers and rubber dinghies, but also fast objects such as speed boats. The Command & Control system will be provided by Signalis/Bremen.

Due to a unique signal processing architecture, SPEXER 2000 Coastal reliably detects sea, land and air targets alike. Hence, one SPEXER 2000 Coastal radar can replace two or more conventional radars that would be necessary for a simultaneous land and sea surveillance.

The radar has a compact all-in-one design allowing also the integration into surveillance vehicles or the rapid deployment on a tripod for an on-demand surveillance of alternating areas of interest. Furthermore, a camera can be cued to the radar in order to identify suspicious objects. Combined with its high availability and no scheduled maintenance, this ensures a superior performance without any surveillance gaps.

SPEXER 2000 Coastal is part of Airbus Defence and Space’s SPEXER security radar family which consists of several sensors, each optimized for specific applications in the fields of border, infrastructure, perimeter and coastal surveillance.

A specific version for border surveillance, SPEXER 2000, is deployed in a huge border surveillance system in the Middle East; a military version has been developed for the German Army.

RIP for Malaysian lost in chengMai in car accident,
how about send A400M to bring back body ? or injury victim?

No need to believe/bother this kind of news, just Malaysian High Commissioner only view。。。more like Social etiquette talk....
our RMAF official also got invited to china see J-10 demo too.

JF17 (FC17) anyway still better than hawk 208, specially FC17 block 3 will include Aesa radar which currently in develop/test in china. even they target better than FA-50.

JF17 is oversea Pakistan AF project, is fund by Pakistan Gov,
so not related to China airforce. sure china PLAAF not ordr it.
plus FC17 never design to meet spec PLAAF requirement in mind.
same to J-31/FC31, also not funding by PLAAF. just purely AVIC own project.

well oversea people just read wiki is not correct what china term.
is just chengdu aircraft sign with Pakistan,not even PLAAF present. chengdu aircraft company it self invest 50%, not related to China Gov or PLAAF
reality is every familiar with china military will know.

good move, we should get MBT-3000 too.

if want to get jet from china, i prefer partner which china to get J-31 for our next generation figther, since SG-->F35 ，INDO--> KFX.
but then getiing JF-17 or J-31 more to international political issue, we are more allies to US/Euro hard for as use China top range weapon. same like if we buy China SAM bcos they will think our side to China and they will not happy.

well new jet now direction going to full Stealth or partially Stealth .... with Stealth you have more advantage to attack enemy.
we need to see future too, buying jet to use 30+ year, 6-7 year later all surround contry all with stealth fighter.
new multi-role jet i don't think have any issue on naval strike and night attack capability, except for those air superiority jet.

This post has been edited by waja2000: Dec 21 2015, 09:43 PM

basically we maritime nation, fighter we buy sure will have stronger resistance to salinity ... even helicopter we got, all will meet out environment and weather ....
like Su-30 also no issue on Naval strike, all multi-role fighter no issue on Naval strike capability.
i don't think RMAF will keen other F18.
buying new F-18 is more not worth ...end life product..... end technology. no more future upgrade. both D/F block2 already end production only have is F block3 which no one buying yet.
