There is definitely no way this won't end badly.

their only choice to go into the sulu is by rogue/black mission, its practically next to impossible to get them pilak gomen to let a foreign elements operates a clandestine mission on their soil, not even the mighty uncle sam can pressure them to let their sof to mount a rescue ops for their own us citizen

them pilak tactics is to just bulldoze thru the suspected hiding places with full on military barrages and hopes for the hostages to escape in confusion, a tactic that unfortunately mostly ended with grim result

For the main part it's because the 'recon' aspect is secondary to its fighting ability.A mast mounted recce vehicle is used as a forward perimeter overwatch for armoured columns and it needs to be able to defend itself .it doesnt close recon like wheeled vehicles

thus reminds me of the Manila tourist bus fiasco

Military judge clears soldiers over alleged gang shootout



MEXICO CITY: A military judge absolved six of seven soldiers implicated in the killing of 22 gang members in a shootout about two years ago, according to court records released on Wednesday.

The gang members were allegedly killed following a confrontation with the army in June of 2014 in Tlatlaya, on the southern fringes of the central State of Mexico.

The military court acquitted the troops in October because they showed they were responding to an attack, according to the court documents, released by the human rights group Centro Prodh.

The seventh soldier was convicted of disobedience and has already served a year in military prison.

Three of the soldiers still remain behind bars pending a civil homicide case against them.

The Inter-American Commission for Human Rights has also called on Mexico to investigate supposed extrajudicial killings, citing a separate shootout last May which killed 42 suspected gang members and one federal police officer.

What's so funny about naming boats after sea life? It's pretty common.

You'd think that the US Navy Seawolf submarines was named after some type of badass sea-going wolf is it? Here's bursting your bubble. From Wiki:
In truth the Seawolf submarines were named after this beauty:

haha, no disrespect la, but i really find that naming it as KM Siakap kinda funny.

not because it's some ugly looking stupid fish or what, just that it's something that i will more often than not have it for dinner, but now tertiba become the name of the ship haha

i didnt say seawolf sound nicer pun, tak kesah pun if seawolf ke, subwolfer ke, itu dia orang punya pasal la.

Got KM Marlin for APMM. So no biggie there.

She was from Fisheries Department, hence the Siakap.

Anybody for the idea of fighting pirates and kidnappers with disguised armed ships as bait? (similar to the WW2 concept of 'Q' Ships).

"Nothing to see here, just a harmless vulnerable merchant ship sailing very close to known pirate attack areas....hey are those people on the boat armed with AKs heading for us?"

Solution: open the container side panel containing a twin-barrel 20mm autocannon mount and blast away.

Any pirate in the area wishing to attack any merchant ships will have to think twice afterwards and wonder if their targets will shoot back at them.

Malaysia to use heat-sensing camera to catch criminals



Malaysian coast guard will use cameras that take photos based on heat waves to catch criminals at sea.

The infrared cameras can detect a different frequencies of light waves which are not visible to humans, allowing them to see through fog and darkness, and detect temperature from 3.7 kilometres away

“Through this system, we can detect movement on boats to the extend of knowing whether the individuals are armed or not,” said Datuk Ahmad Puzi Ab Kahar, Director General of the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency.

The camera will also provide evidence to use during investigations. “We can record the visual to be used as evidence for prosecution in court if there is any criminal conduct,” he added.

The RM1.8 million (US$433,250) camera was built in Japan and given to the agency by the Japan International Cooperation Agency.
