After looking into our Malaysian Army structure I am a little confused.
Kor Armor Diraja is said to have 5 regiments. Naturally 1 regiment operates our PT-91s. Other listed equipment are: 26 FV101 Alvis Scorpion 90 (Para Armd Sqdn) 184 Sibmas 90 IFV (160 90mm, 24 ARV?) 460 Condor APC 80 Bv206 103 K200 KIFV 211 ACV300 Adnan
In what way are they organised into the other 4 regts? At about 80+ vehicles per battalion I can make them fit, sort of. But as far as I can see these are 'empty' IFVs and APCs, except Sibmas 90. Are they intended to mate up with infantry battalions when deployed? And where will the 250 Deftech AV8s go?
Mintak ajar skit...
KAD administrative bang bukan field formation.the other 4 are combined with infantry regiments forming mechanised brigades
Yeah guessed as much, they are robust but also ancient some sources say jsut about 200 Condor still running
I understand, I am asking about how they organise for field deployment. Good idea that, a little armour goes a long way with Para. Wonder if we have the airdrop capability
So when forming brigades the armour regiments mate with the infantry battalions to form mechanised battalions. At 14 APCs/IFVs per company and 6 companies (we still use square battalion? A, B, C, D Coys plus Support Coy some more?) I can imagine about 80+ vehicles per battalion. So with that, and looking at a force of about 200 Condors, 100 KIFVs, 200 Adnans, that's 5 mech inf battalions...?
What do we use the Bv206 for then?
4 mech battalions.19 RAMD,12 RAMD and 7RRD the other I forget.
The support Coy is oversized because that's where fire support, recce and engineers are

why need a trailer... cant the vehicle move by itself? unless of course not fully assembled.. i believe fuel consumption for that trailer would be higher...
No roadtax
I think its because it's not an operational vehicle yet.they also have a rule that a full crew is needed if it's wants to go on the main road
Not sure why they tried to put on a long range recon system on a fully armed tracked IFV, as it is not as versatile as wheeled 8x8 that can be adapted to multiple variants
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
The autoloader was introduced so the tanks could be smaller.a well trained human loader during the cold war was faster than an autoloader.
It all had to do with the Soviet tank doctrine.their tanks were meant as breakthrough weapons,moving fast and overwhelm the enemy meaning they needed to be small fast and agile.
That was why the Fulda Gap scenario was such a worrying threat to NATO.
pipul is just busy wiping boots, clean guns, ironing uniform to care about anything else
This not the 50s.nobody irons uniforms or shine shoes anymore.all you can do while not on patrol is talk cock,clean your weapon and masturbate(usually masturbate the most frequent).the place is filled with majority 17-25 year old dumbasses,sex is always on the mind
