I thought cable for radio antenna are dead already.

SAGE ESM (ELECTRONIC SUPPORT MEASURE)



SAGE is a digital ESM / ELINT for RF intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions. Delivering a situational awareness capability, SAGE provides RF signal analysis for intelligence gathering and tactical responses. It has both single and multi-platform geo-location of RF assets, parallel wideband and channelised receivers, and delivers instantaneous detection and ELINT analysis. SAGE is suitable for a range of aircraft from tactical UAVs and light helicopters to larger reconnaissance and maritime patrol aircraft.

what do u expect from harcore Russian lovers ? it is typical comment u can see in all jazeera new,cnn or any news,anything related to Russian act of aggression in Syria.

Yemeni Houthi fighters allege that they hit a vessel operated by the United Arab Emirates military, part of the Saudi-led coalition fighting in support of Yemen’s government against the rebels, releasing video that they say marks the moment when the vessel was struck.

The Pentagon gave a controversial UK PR firm over half a billion dollars to run a top secret propaganda program in Iraq, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism can reveal.

The agency’s staff worked alongside high-ranking U.S. military officers in their Baghdad Camp Victory headquarters as the insurgency raged outside.

Bell, one of Britain’s most successful public relations executives, is credited with honing Margaret Thatcher’s steely image and helping the Conservative party win three elections. The agency he co-founded has had a roster of clients including repressive regimes and Asma al-Assad, the wife of the Syrian president.

Bell Pottinger’s work in Iraq was a huge media operation which cost over a hundred million dollars a year on average. A document unearthed by the Bureau shows the company was employing almost 300 British and Iraqi staff at one point.

The work consisted of three types of products. The first was television commercials portraying al Qaeda in a negative light. The second was news items which were made to look as if they had been “created by Arabic TV”, Wells said. Bell Pottinger would send teams out to film low-definition video of al Qaeda bombings and then edit it like a piece of news footage. It would be voiced in Arabic and distributed to TV stations across the region, according to Wells.

The third and most sensitive program described by Wells was the production of fake al Qaeda propaganda films. He told the Bureau how the videos were made. He was given precise instructions: “We need to make this style of video and we’ve got to use al Qaeda’s footage,” he was told. “We need it to be 10 minutes long, and it needs to be in this file format, and we need to encode it in this manner.”

US marines would take the CDs on patrol and drop them in the chaos when they raided targets. Wells said: “If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there.”

The CDs were set up to use Real Player, a popular media streaming application which connects to the internet to run. Wells explained how the team embedded a code into the CDs which linked to a Google Analytics account, giving a list of IP addresses where the CDs had been played.

The tracking account had a very restricted circulation list, according to Wells: the data went to him, a senior member of the Bell Pottinger management team, and one of the U.S. military commanders.

Wells explained their intelligence value. “If one is looked at in the middle of Baghdad…you know there’s a hit there," he said. "If one, 48 hours or a week later shows up in another part of the world, then that’s the more interesting one, and that’s what they’re looking for more, because that gives you a trail.”

The CDs turned up in some interesting places, Wells recalled, including Iran, Syria, and even America.

Also I hear the main strategy in a war with malaysia would be establishing a sustainable buffer zone instead of looking to defeat the malaysian armed forces in detail as they simply aren't structured for a long campaign.

I think we just voicing out opinion on a hypothetical scenario. See previous posts,if ts think any are over the line feel free to take action.

Also I like to think we here at military /k are more reasonable and have better grasp of military realities than people at regular /k, amirite?

certainly not to MALAYSIA STRONKl! NO,SINGAPORE STRONK! primary school levels.

Any scenarios involving Singapore and Malaysia going to war belongs in a novel or in a military academy syllabus because it doesn't make sense at the present day.

there is no reason for both countries to be at each other throats other than to satisfy the fantasies of immature people who have the luxury of not seeing the true face of war.bersyukur dengan keamanan yang ada people

Hezbollah was very effective against Israel's f15 and f16s, they use anti tank missles and their home made rockets easily rain down on Israel.

Not saying that we wanna attack Singapork but an effective message is to build hidden short range missle launchers around south peninsular. Small island can easily rain down rockets...will cripple their economy.

Swift was never designed to take a hit. A catamaran with an aluminum hull, vessels like Swift are thinly armored, and if hit with a missile they will burn. However, the aluminum, angular and low-draft hull makes the catamaran fast — up to a brisk 45 knots at sprint speed — and able to operate close to shore.

The U.S. Navy’s Military Sealift Command leased her from Australian shipbuilder Incat between 2003 to 2013. America’s experience with Swift would later influence the boxy Spearhead-class fast transport vessel and the better-armed Littoral Combat Ship.

“I can say from experience that the aluminum hull design is NOT meant for taking damage,” one sailor who claimed to be stationed on Swift wrote in a Reddit post five years ago. “We’ve had a couple of our bigger dudes onboard drop a heavy squat from their shoulders in the gym and put a 2 inch gash in the deck. The aluminum hull is not rated for fire and if there was hot burning fire (say from AVgas) it would literally melt the ship in half.”

“Having said all that though, we are fast as fuck and can maneuver in places that a normal ship would not even dream of going. The superstructure is made to flex and can take a punishment as sea as well.”

U.S. defense contractor Boeing and South Korean aircraft manufacturer Korean Air Aerospace Division (KAL-ASD) signed a memorandum of agreement (MOA) on September 21 to jointly develop an unnamed variant of the U.S.-made MD500 light attack helicopter for the Republic of Korea (ROK) Army and the international market, according to a September 22 Korean Air press release.

Boeing will provide technical support, including for flight control, and both companies will also market exports of the MD500. “Korean Air successfully remodeled the ROK Air Force’s retired MD500 helicopters to unmanned helicopters from 2014 to May 2016,” the press release notes. “Based on this success, Korean Air has launched a new project that will run until 2017 to remodel MD500 helicopters into unmanned armed helicopters.”

As I reported previously (See: “South Korea Unveils Unmanned Combat Helicopter”), the unmanned MD500 light helicopter gunship, dubbed KUS-VH, is the result of extensive technology cooperation between Boeing and Korean Air as a part of the U.S. defense contractor’s offset obligation following South Korea’s decision to acquire 36 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters in 2013.

The MD500 would be an ideal addition to the ROK Army’s new fleet of AH-64E Apache gunships and could serve as a reconnaissance unnamed aerial vehicle (UAV) guiding the heavily armored attack helicopters. “Equipped with a so-called manned-unmanned teaming (MUM-T) capability, the AH-64E Apaches’ slated to be delivered to South Korea will already come equipped to control the sensors and weapon systems of UAVs,” I explained elsewhere.

However, the unmanned helicopter will also be armed. “The new MD500 armed unmanned helicopter will not only be able to perform day and night reconnaissance and surveillance missions but will also be able to conduct a short-distance precision strike, a feature which will maximize the helicopter’s usage at the front line when an immediate response is required,” the press release notes.

During the 2015 Seoul International Aerospace & Defense Exhibition, a full-sized mockup of the unmanned MD500 variant was armed with two Lockheed Martin AGM-114 Hellfire air-to-surface missiles and a pod of 2.75 inch-diameter rockets.

what did UK send this time? 2 staff and a biplane?

Every week, I will be hosting a War-Cast: a live webcast with War on the Rocks experts, for members only. The experts will rotate based on what’s going on in the world. If you are listening live, you can submit questions for us to answer. If you’re busy, you can watch or listen to it later. It’s like our podcast series, but better, more regular, and more exclusive.

The second service is a gated social network called the War Hall using a new tool called Ryver.  Those of us in the “natsec” community use different tools to interact. We all get too many emails and the tech is limited.  Twitter is noisy and, for some conversations, too public, and there are too many trolls. Facebook is fine but how often do we want to subject our high school friends to our thoughts on the war against the Islamic State?  This gated forum combines all the upsides of Twitter, Facebook, and e-mail and avoids the downsides.  And your favorite natsec experts, including many of our writers, are already in the War Hall waiting for you.

So why am I holding this two-week Indiegogo campaign? I wanted to give an opportunity to you to be the first-in on this premium plan for members of our tribe. Only a limited number of people can access it this year. If you want to get involved, this is your chance. We will open the War Hall and start the War-Casts for members only shortly after this campaign ends. During the remaining presidential debates, the election, the transition season that follows, and as the new administration comes into office, your favorite experts on national security will be there providing real time analysis and interacting with members directly on the issues you care about. Our weekly War-Casts will keep you up to date on what you need to know as a member of the national security community.

Yes zero F-15 but how many Israeli F-15 and F-16 actually hit Hezbollah targets? without hitting on civilians?

You use a 1 mil bomb to hunt down a Hezbollah guerilla carrying an anti missle on a kapcai? Imagine how hard is that.

Let say one iron dome missle cost 2 mil while one cheap Hezbollah home made rocket only cost 20k. If you build many in Johor, can easily rain down on singapork. Easy target as the island is small. Same also for small Israel.
