i means many county mindef/Navy.
for our navy maybe is budget. Millennium 30mm gun more expensive than MSI connon? 
but MSI 30mm gun advantage is we more experience/familiar using it. (culture)

I see on discovery channel M1 Abrams crew interview said for each 1 hour they are operating, they spend 3 hours repair and servicing the tank.

They even say although outer tank armor is steel, its insides may well be made of glass due to the high rate of something always breaking.



Typical experience with tankers?

Yeah, probably. They also mention the engine is so finicky and complex, anytime an engine breaks down (which is a lot of times, especially in sandy & dusty middle-eastern conditions) they pretty much have to remove it and have it repaired at the motor pool repair shop. It's nearly impossible to repair it in the field.

if not wrong Abrams have Abrams Dieselization Project going on, seems progress slow

Stallion more for Naval

If only land and take off on a level, straight highway without refueling or resupply I don't see why a competent pilot can't do it. Having the facilities for having a road airstrip is unknown though.

I think you are the one bitching, actually.

Ironic, government can't even make safe roads but they want highway airstrips as emergency take off for warplanes. Against whom? Scared Singapore will invade us is it?

If it can't even defend its people from baju merah people, what's the point of defending against foreign threats? Its all connected. Military doctrine for people's interest unless Military doctrine being screwed for Dictator style government like in North Korea. Singapore and Sweden, to be fair, are able to provide 1st grade infrastructure to their own citizens.

Most people have misconception about road system here in Malaysia. Automatically think all must be under federal government purview. Every road damage must be federal government's fault.

In truth most roads in Malaysia are under state and municipal government. Federal roads are very few, usually these are the larger 2-lane main roads between states.

I'm pretty much alarmed that a country that has a small number of tanks like Malaysia aren't focusing on obtaining more ATGMs.  :confused:

formidable class sg slightly larger than lcs gowind. 3200 tons iinm.

thank heavens for block manufacturing technology eh?
maybe it is just long-lead items which certainly should be getting prepped by now. but keel laying this year would be amazing news indeed if true.
can tell sos BTW? just curious

the russian actually conduct a missile exercise in the channel at one point 
well, all I want to say is Najib's tour to China this coming month iinm will going to have some interesting news 

I'm pretty ok if we buy some good-conditioned 2nd hand military gear,but please don't never ever buy 2nd hand planes.

If something broke down, at least a 2nd hand tank wont fall from the sky.

Generally they're ok,ground vehicles usually isn't affected much by time and use if you keep parts and services up to date.

But no more 2nd hand air force stuff, pls. The 1990s A-4 Skyhawk fiasco shows us how NOT to skimp on air force assets.

laksamana class is good ship， if retirement can give to APMM, good as patrol boat... with modification below
