Any big-ticket purchase from russia is put on hold until some kind of answer (whatever it might be) and closure is provided regarding the MH-17
I don't think the rakyat really care, but problem is that politicians would spin it around and the macais would swallow it all; hook, line and sinkers.
U are putting too much hope on that
I highly doubt ppl will start protesting why we go russian just because of mh17. Malaysia easily forget.
Though some macai may be making noise but it will be like a dog barking at a wall. Majority of malaysia does not bit care just what is the cost. From whom is the least of the issue

good for RMAF getting few unit too, but seems price also high, UAE order 2 Global 6000 Erieye for $1.27b, maybe include some RnD cost because new plane, at the end still at lease $500m per-plane, about same price to B737 AEW MESA. other issue is support, all major private jet company Embraer, Gulfstream, Bombardier, Dassualt service center all in Singapore. seem setup a service center just for 3-4 jet seem not so realistic. still personal think use A319LR install Erieye AEW system much more logic, since our we have Airbus service center in KLIA. also RMAF operate CJ319and CJ320 for VIP, so much easy for pilot arrangement & training and maintenance.
Someone have to pay for the integration cost instead of a ready product.
I doubt even offered, will get the most also 2 biji saja. 4 biji is a blessing already.
It offered together with the gripen deal so it might not be tat real exp. UAE was including additional integration cost etc etc.
so damn kek lar even Great Muslim Ottoman Empire Turkey do trade and military deal with Israel, but over here close eyes, jari sumbat telinga "lalalala i can't hear you death to juice"
It something started from mahathir time
Somehow it blown out of proportion till everything is anti israel. A same however when we can get alot of goodies if we budy budy with them like jordon
I have a question for you more expert guys regarding AEW aircrafts - what is the most important capability that these kind of aircraft should have? I don't mean the electronics but the aircraft itself.
From what I can deduce these aircraft are not going to be on the frontline fighting so speed, maneuverability, etc. would no be that important. Wouldn't it be range and loitering time/endurance?
Seems the aircraft itself not that important as long as there is a suitable platform to put all the electronics in the air.
In that case, would not something like an airship be better?
Appreciate any input.
Long endurance, smaller size normally equate smaller mantainance requirements.
What those aew need is endurance and space to put all the electronics. So it a bargain of either side. More space mean more advance thing can put in plus also for crew comfort.
