read from internet....
new AESA radar available, but it use much more electric power, than current su-30mkm engine have to upgrade new engine which more power trust, means more electric power.
AL-31FP have too upgrade to AL-31F M2 in future

i don't mind gov/Mod buy few unit CH4 for patrol Esscom, without satelite comms, still managed to control drome for 250-300km, enough for Esscom，price actually about 2-4 million per-set depend packages and quantity bomb for drone。

Gripen Single engine
1- Safety issue like other people member mention.
2- power to weight ratio, for patrol is not issue, but for fighter combat, went single engine jet full loaded missile/bomb the fighter will overweight, power to weight ratio below 1:1, if not wrong about 1:0.8-0.9 , means lost flexibility & maneuvers to medium/heavy twin-engine fighter.
unless like F35 single engine with power more than twin-engine fighter。but f35 still suffer until now.
3. Grippen Ng not cheaper either, cost more than $100 million each。

San Antonio class need upgrade a lot power system and engine to support Aegis system.

they just want turn LPD to ballistic missile defense/interceptor ship. due LPD have large space can install many large missile in VLS.

seriously, our RMN, or APMM ship hard to compare to China coast guard ship, the so big 12000 tons ship, much bigger than our war ship, and no way gov will built 5-10k tonne APMM ship to fight with china.
so i thnk APMM or Gov can think buy some old 6000-15000 tonne cargo ship cost just about 2-8 million usd , some small modify to strengths hull become APMM ship, so show size during facing china coast ship mostly new 3000-5000 tons. so wen some time need confrontation, "langgar or Collide" ship to ship also ok. better than those 50-100 tons apmm ship.

build ship no point ,need hundred of million, no money 。。。。
build Gowind more also no point, we no going war with china and no power to war, also they using 3000-5000 tonns coast guard ship collide with gowind, we still loss. and china so long time waiting country fire first short. than they have reason take all the island.
getting cargo ship as apmm ship mainly learn china style, they using big ship to bully other country small caost guard ship, so getting those big 2nd hard cargo ship mainly use for show "size"and "Collide" if needed。

agree,
china there new main coast guard is 3000tons, 4000tons, 5000tons ship, this just built over 20 this 3 category ship, and still much bigger asian country coast guard ship even navy ship.
so getting some old 2nd had 6000-8000 tons cargo ship is ideal to show size and for "collide".

what can do with mini size FAC(M) ？ fire missile or use to collide with China coast guard ship?
even fire, china more happy。

do you think china ship will worry on this.....

just learn more on Johnson South Reef Skirmish of 1988 (赤瓜礁海战). any over reaction just give our man kill。
they ship is bigger, so sure not worry to collide with other country small coast ship, you many see YouTube china coast guard ship ram other other coast ship line Vietnum & Japan, and they have money and more than 10 shipyard to built new ship, quickly to get replacement.
the ASM missile went your fire and hit china coast ship, than they have reason send navy ship and take down our island. went there navy come they have reason to Sunk our navy ship，and how many our have ship can war with china navy ？that why Vietnam/Philippine just patience not fire first shot.

yes, their acting like gangster, they even use economy power control we also suffer a lot.

any one going DSA in PWTC ？

DSA 2016: Boustead to offer scalable Kedah-class ships for Malaysian requirements

Dzirhan Mahadzir, Kuala Lumpur - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
18 April 2016

Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation (BHIC) will offer a scalable version of the Royal Malaysian Navy's Kedah-class Next Generation Patrol Vessel (NGPV) to meet future ship requirements of the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) and Royal Malaysian Police (RMP) said BHIC Director of Defence and Security, Anuar Murad.

Anuar told IHS Jane's that scaled down versions of the 91 m Kedah-class NGPVs could be built and outfitted to the user's requirements by BHIC and would be cheaper than comparable locally built ships based on foreign hull designs, as BHIC has the intellectual property rights for the Kedah class.

the chassis is commercial 8x8 so it turn much smaller, you see the Wheelbase just like 5 ton lorry. example went front turn to left, the rear wheel will turn to wright direction so turning curve will be small.

but Nexter CAESAR quite outdated product, more like manual SPH system
prefer more advance SPH.

many SPH also 52 cal now, we got A400M so not worry at all. many advance SPH not more than 30 tons,
we should think future, not buy some-think still using manual load caliber.
