Argentina current best choice will be Mirage F1 from France or opt for Pakistan / China build JF-17. Korean made K-50 just too expensive and face protest from the British
what protest. Gripen maybe la bcos 1/3 use british made component but the only thing that is british in fa-50 is martin baker seat
So the LMS is ~70m ship with rm200mil/usd50mil price cap include weapons etc ASM system maybe can scrap older Exocet/Otomat launcher from inventory
can always use gagah samudera design.
weaponry prolly dun have to be too powderful. Just 30mm gun, couple of .50bmg at back, simbad SAM (barely) and Sea Venom ASM is enuf, but prob is that they also want to have mcmv variant
before rmaf selected EC-725, chinook (as well as Mi-17 and NH-90 afaik) were also included in the tender for nuri replacement, but the air force deemed chinook too big as nuri replacement (as well as unnecessarily complicating the logistic. kek) while the polis heli tender shenanigans (not including that particular datuk who jump ship because the army didn't choose Mi-17 which his company become middlemen) means that Mi-17 is out too

We already did brought decent amount of it Shikan and Ingwe. Not to mention crazy amount rpg7. In 2012 we spend rm250mil on m72 iinm ruag get the contract. Hmm did I miss anything else
I do hope we get brimstone for our aircraft.
ingwe only for AV8. as for brimstone, I'd rather have more AGM-65. No need to do more weapon integration since both hawk (our mainstay for mundus bombing)and F/A-18 (even mb-339) can shoot them
who knows, when ukranian prez mr poroshenko came to Malaysia couple of months ago, he said he wanna do defence JV with malaysia. maybe can ask them for their brand new
Thanks. Geez I didn't know she looked this bad. Come now, Tun Sharifah Rodziah looks nowhere near as bad as all that. Kind of futuristic even, reminds me of certain computer games and scifi movies
need some sort of protection tho. at least install couple of 30mm gun la.
Most countries don't have police paramilitary units, so some people are not used to the concept of a heavily armed police trooper. In most people's mind a policeman is the guy with the funny hat and shiny badge standing at the corner looking out for crime.
Of course, Malaysia, with its long history of internal insurgencies, fully embrace this concept. That's why Malaysian people are used to the idea of the PDRM's PPH/VAT69/PGA paramilitary units and usually think of them as kind of the 'secondary army' of Malaysia. In other countries, the idea of a country having a 20,000-strong armed force besides the military would be considered alien and scary.
the deal is, when Mosul is fall, iraq will become a federal and Mosul will get greater degree of autonomy in exchange for their fealty to central gomen in baghdad.
afaik the iraq shiite regime in baghdad is game but they want the kurds to disarm first
If the Admiral Kuznetsov is so bad, why even use it? Why not just build another carrier. The Russkies should have the resources to do it right?
The A.Kuznetsov is more detrimental than helpful really at this stage, aside from testing fighters.
The only shipyard capable of building aircraft carrier is located in what now known as Ukraine. deswai they had to buy mistral from france(b4 america via germoney blocked the transfer)
nowadays russian shipyard could only build smaller ship like gepard.
ANKARA—Turkey’s military and procurement officials are mulling the options of upgrading hundreds of German-made Leopard 2 and U.S.-made M60 main battle tanks.
One senior procurement official familiar with the program said that about 100 Leopard 2s and 300 M60s would go through an upgrade program. Industry sources say such upgrades would cost Ankara anywhere between $2 million to $3 million per tank. A bunch of 300 to 400 tank upgrades will have a total cost of more than $1 billion.
They say Turkey’s defense procurement agency, the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries (SSM in its Turkish acronym) would most likely award the Leopard 2 upgrade contract to the German Rheinmetall’s three-partner, Turkey-based venture, RBSS. Rheinmetall’s partners are the Turkish armored vehicles manufacturer BMC and the Malaysia-based Etika Strategi.
The planned M60 upgrades may mark the first Turkish-Israeli defense deal after the two former allies froze their diplomatic ties in 2010 but agreed on détente recently. Ankara and Jerusalem are expected to appoint ambassadors to each other within days after they downgraded diplomatic representation to the level of charge d’affaires in 2010.
In the 1990s a bunch of Turkish M60s went through a successful upgrade by Israeli Military Industries (IMI).
Meanwhile, the Turkish government is expected to announce a bidding for the serial production of hundreds of Altays, Turkey’s first indigenous, new generation main battle tank. The bidding is expected to open in the next few months.
