Still stupid weapon for combat arm, first u dont need 150 rounds in 1 mag, even 1000 rounds per minute burst in the air but not accurate what for?

a. Weapon to heavy
b. Magazine too bulky, cumbersome. not easy to handle if stoppages.
b. Spare magazine? Too bulky if there are. Bear in mind that

ou dont shoot 150 rounds in a single rounds or shot duration unless you have a bullet store behind you. That 150 rounds is your only rounds issued. and it is useless as it is not accurate and wastage. When you are in combat perhaps in th range of 50-250m a rapid fire is the best. (Using small arm). In close combat that weapon is too heavy and perhaps a short barrel and lighter weapon is much better. This magazine definitely have more jammed issues.

This is a copy of the obselete russian assault riffle BTW this weapon is only use by the Gila NK presidential guard. who can argue with him lol

U do know that the china troop push back the coalition during the korea way by just the sheer number of army and bullets being fired at all conners. There even incident where an armoured division collum was pushed back due to number of bullet round they are receiving making troop disembarking impossible and fatal.

Victory by volume still applicable in today warfare.

And north korea have plenty of human resource just to do that.
The mindset of surgical warfare is still not in their war book.

basically quantity over quality

Air Force effectively grounds NH90 fleet after engine failure

Air Force effectively grounds NH90 fleet after engine failure

An Air Force NH90 helicopter suffered serious engine failure while flying over Cook Strait and was forced to make an emergency landing near Blenheim on Sunday.



An Air Force NH90 helicopter suffered serious engine failure while flying over Cook Strait and was forced to make an emergency landing near Blenheim on Sunday (supplied)
All eight of the Air Force's NH90 helicopters have been all but grounded after a mid-air engine failure near Blenheim on Sunday.

Newshub understands the $630 million fleet isn't allowed to fly over water or dangerous terrain, and cannot carry VIPs.

The restriction comes after the left engine of an NH90 failed while flying over Cook Strait on Sunday, forcing it to make an emergency landing at a private aerodrome at Cloudy Bay.


Air Force NH90 suffers inflight engine failure
The NH90 can fly on one engine, but it can't hover. It's understood the helicopter started to shudder and a fire warning activated in the cockpit.

The NH90 can fly on one engine, but it can't hover. It's understood the helicopter started to shudder and a fire warning activated in the cockpit.

Crew made a controlled descent and made a rolling landing like an aeroplane, rather than a vertical landing according to witnesses.



The NH90 fleet is only around six years old, and is one of the most advanced tactical airlift helicopters in the world.

The restriction has forced EQC Minister Gerry Brownlee and Health Minister Jonathan Coleman to cancel their visit to Kaikoura tomorrow because the NH90 they planned to use is not allowed to fly over the Cook Strait.



The Defence Force has been approached for comment.

spray and pray (to the Great Leader)

even US soldiers will shoot off whole 200 round belt of SAW ammo in the heat of the action

better to have separate mags so a short break in firing is enforced

Msia don't need to worry, we got KYPMbangi AAA

yeah well... granted on a political strategy level the US may not necessarily have won its wars in the Mid East, but from a tactical perspective they've inflicted massive damage for relatively minimal loss, absolutely disproportionate to their own casualties.

this way of fighting is far too 70s. It will be a massacre against modern weapons and tactics, if it ever really comes down to it... which it may, if China and SK decide they're fed up with NK's antics

Bizarrely, an airforce with the image of a flightless bird as its emblem.

And considering the current New Zealand Air Force, deliciously ironic.

Probably not that of a good idea to use the An-2 for mass paradrops nowadays, but for covert infiltration of special agents or small commando teams, I would still consider using these types of planes before the much more detectable helicopters or modern transport planes. The An-2's ability to land and take off from very crude landing strips or even open fields is a plus as it can also be used for exfiltration purposes.

Besides, an expert pilot with good intelligence sources can always find and exploit small gaps in the most secure of air defence systems. Natural atmospheric and geological occurences like thunderstorms or the sun's heat convection off the earth's surface can sometimes mess with the most sensitive electronic systems.

I have also heard stories during the cold war of skilled Soviet pilots turning off the engines of their An-2's mid-flight, to further avoid detection on infiltration/exfiltration missions across NATO borders and glide silently for up to 20-30 miles at treetop level with the engine off.

South Korea’s Navy develops new ship-to-ground missile

Apr 19,2017

South Korea’s Navy has completed the development of new tactical ship-to-ground guided missiles that would enhance its ability to strike North Korea’s key military facilities, the country’s arms procurement agency said Tuesday.

South Korea will start mass-producing the missiles with two types of launch systems – inclined and vertical – next year after a seven-year project led by the Agency for Defense Development, according to the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA).

The missiles have met all the required operational capabilities in a recent test for use by next-generation frigates, it added.

The shrapnel of the missiles’ warhead can penetrate armored vehicles and destroy an area with the size of two football fields at a shot, the agency said.

The nation’s warships have largely depended on anti-ship or anti-aircraft guided missiles. But the successful development of the new missile will upgrade its capability to attack ground targets.

Especially, ship-to-ground missiles with a vertical launch platform that can be used by various naval ships will be operational beginning in 2019.

“[South Korea] has become able to strike from sea not only the enemy’s major bases on the ground but also core facilities, including those related to ballistic missile launches,” said Lee Sang-moon, head of the DAPA’s guided weapon development team.

The new missile will serve as key maritime equipment for the military’s Kill Chain pre-emptive strike system against North Korea’s provocation.

Din,
selamat pengantin baru..
hahaha

this isnt new, i remember British used to paradrop troops behind enemy lines silently by using gliders

reminds me alot of COD1 Pegasus Bridge mission, insertion by silent gliding

That would be a huge gamble to play on depending on on side electronic failure.
it was not an easy job to infiltrate and goes into behind enemy line using such strategy on heavily defended border.
It requires strong signit capability and top class intelligent capability to do it.

Comparing using lightweight gliders released from high altitude on controlled descent would probably be peanuts compared to gliding a heavier biplane at treetop altitude in the middle of the night.

A more fitting comparison will be the RAF flying in wood-and-fabric Lysander planes by night to drop off or extract OSS and SOE agents operating behind German lines in WW2.

UAE concludes joint military exercise with Malaysia

A military exercise in Abu Dhabi between UAE and Malaysian ground forces, Desert Tiger 4, ended on Thursday.

The Desert Tiger series is an annual joint exercise between the two countries to highlight professionalism and efficiency of UAE Ground Forces troops and to raise their level of combat readiness.

Maj Gen Saleh Al Amiri, Commander of UAE Ground Forces, attended the military exercise along with General Dato’ Sri Zulkiple bin Hj Kassim, Malaysian army chief.

Desert Tiger 4 comes part of the UAE leadership’s continued desire to support and create distinguished partnerships between UAE and Malaysia.

Another aim is to promote mutual cooperation and achieve a common vision by sharing experiences, enhancing joint military actions, and raising the level of performance and combat efficiency.

The exercise also trains ground forces on the use of modern weapons for all types of combat operations.

The UAE Ground Forces have been drafting training plans for their personnel. The Desert Tiger 4 exercise highlighted the success of these plans, Wam said.

Exclusive: On the front line with South Sudan rebels



More than 100,000 people have been displaced from the usually calm county of Kajo Keji in South Sudan.

The area is now militarised and split between government troops and rebel fighters.

The government has been fighting the rebels since 2013 when the ethnic war first started, two years into the country's independence from Sudan.
