well, i wouldnt underestimate the will of the PRC... while its not appropriate to bring politics into this thread, it has an effect on national security and geo politics..

1st najis already makan dedak prc,

2nd both klang n jb have industries nearby mlk dont have therefore its role as an export import port wont work, might it be a regional transshipment port like sg? no, that's in the hands of western shipping companies and the biggest market in the region indonesia wont buy into it.. so what's left? resupply port? which is most likely...

3rd, other port near south asia can be a precedence of what's to come..

4th short term it would be good for msia, but the populus wont benefit much as like most big prc projects they bring in their own materials and people... long term wise, msia loses that portion of waterfront

It will likely turn out to be the 1st military foothold in SEA for the PRC.

Manpad have limited range.. which is good for low flying plane or helis but only certain manpads can reach air liner cruising height. Medium range or long range all can reach. The best way however is to avoid flying those zone to eliminate the risk

S400 is manned by Russia.. i doubt they will shoot another passenger planes without warning unless they willing to take the backlash.

Yes sure, they have a history of restraint. nod.gif

"Vote Trump for peace" they said
"Clinton is the warmonger" they said

This is exactly the kind of escalation that Obama and Clinton was hoping to avoid. Well done, Trumpers bangwall.gif
more like the other way round. The investigation board has concluded its Russia already, but the Kremlin has been pushing alternative explanations since the very start: almost every single MH17 conspiracy theory can be traced back to initial broadcasts on various Russian media.

I have the impression that the Republicans are more militant than the Democrats.

How the SAF's combat boots have evolved over the decades

The waterproof Gore-Tex material kept muddy water from entering the boots, a common complaint among soldiers out in the field as water got trapped inside while crossing river obstacles or staying in the rain for a prolonged periods.

The outsole was also suitable for jungle operations.

FRONTIER NYLON-FABRIC BOOTS (2012-2016)

user posted imageWeight: 705g

The SAF-customised Frontier boots were hailed as being lighter, safer and more comfortable for soldiers when they were introduced in 2012, with the SAF studying more than 20 models over three years.

They consisted of a leather upper, a polyurethane midsole, and a rubber sole.

Among the improvements: two perforated holes on the inner side of each boot to drain out water, a new outsole design for better agility to move in the confined spaces of urbanised areas and nylon material that dries up within an hour when wet.

The boots were also said to transmit up to 20 per cent less shock to the feet.

ARMY COMBAT BOOT (ACB) AND ENHANCED COMBAT BOOT (ECB)

user posted imageWeight: 900g (ACB) or 700g (ECB)

The ACB, which is designed for durability, will be constructed with directly moulded soles, while the ECB - for active manoeuvre units like infantry, commandos and guards - will have a fully stitched cupsole.

The ACB comes in two models - Peruvian brand Wellco Peruana and US brand Altama - and they have synthetic breathable material that allows quick drying, as well as a sole suitable for jungle use.

The ECB, made by US brand Magnum, has an outsole that can be used in both jungle and urban terrains.

Those days when we had to buy our own boots for jungle training. doh.gif
