Our f18 is geared toward land attack role.


The amraam is just a completion for any air self defence need on the f18. The one that will doing the air to air will be our mkm

The us always thought was their air supremacy will supplement their lack of longer range air defence. Not to mention heavy reliance on aegis system on destroyer

Russian know that their air force is weak in comparison to us. So they focus on air defence development more as all the s-series.

So now US is carrying fast track deveoplment on air defence system because it have become quite obselete in comparision to russian system.

How many army in the world gonna supply thier unit with IR Equipment?

it been the indonesia way ever since

please the armed forces, your administration will prosper. Indonesian may deny it but it pretty obvious

want win voter hearts,.. "gayang malaysia"

there no one single person to blame. so now china and vietnam get the short stick

Nothing unite ppl more than a common enemy, though in latter case was imaginary enemy

Later another case of helmet burn or information overload

No surplus...
I rather we get more sub.. 2 biji for 90% coastline nation is a understatement .

Ltz would agree

If i remember correctly, rmn prefer to have military spec vessel than a civilian convertion

BM5 tat time was operational requirements. Running our patrol ship at gulf was straining for a already limited number of vessels. Thus, to get a hull fast, the convertion was given the go ahead.

It still down to chicken and egg things.

Which should come first.

su-35?

upgraded MKM would have been a better option

it would be before long before the current mkm would need upgrade as well

new radar is available as well now just that no political commitments

they go in jeeps soft skin vehicle.. even for lahad datu we go in in armored vehicle

pinoy.. the southern island is basically a lawless state..

I think it actually more toward mobility and speed



autoloader reduce personals and increase efficiency though earlier autoloader are quite unreliable.. Newer are better and do the job faster than a human loader

the armor was compensated for increase mobility and speed. Though rusian are better at active armor development compared to west. The west is still using cold war era ERA while russian already developed and implement tandem charge ERA

Good way to test doctine and bombs in reall situation.

Astro is severely overkill ad.. we didnt even bring tgr g5

Sptunik will come up with why su35 is better than f23

There a misconception that TUDM only like twin engine plan.. preference yes. requirement no

why the preference? It more of reliability reason, we operate advance aircraft in small numbers, having good reliability is essential for small air force like us. One engine down, at least it still can fly

Although the MKM is very maneuverable, it in the end is still a heavy strike aircraft. That why the MRCA programme is intended to do the hawk job better without the need of specialized aircraft like MKM our even our land strike F18. In layman term, buruh kasah punya aircraft

However, over the years it soon become a high spec without we even knowing it. Even YAK-130 or M-346 can be consider MRCA if solely based on capabilities alone.

They are technology wise better than hawks and twin engine, two seater, able to perform electronic warfare and surveillance, in flight refueling, can do both land based bombing run and also equip with air to air missile. The only thing they lacked is the publicity and sub sub-sonic speed than their more advance cousin.

because cheapest on initial cost but in long run might not be the case

Ada kypm.. ada crash

US also sometime run trial batle run on russian missile deatroyer.

Read it somewhere when the russian also faced similar issue.
