MMEA already upgraded as Malaysia Coast Guard ? 

All shipbulider will experiment on hull design. This is where most of the RND is done.

NZ Army Upgraded MAN Medium and Heavy Operational Vehicles (MHOV).

thats actually a pretty standard thing even today

cuz they have to if not it would be near impossible to bring it around with hand crank alone
their turret nowadays is more heavier and protected than even some apc open turret

is mig29 have a better combat radius than f16 or gripen(without external tank)?

True. Their only consent is any naval force briching Australia defence. Thats the reason they collaborate with australia and work together on the Anzac frigate.

Technical the hawk 208 was suppose to be front line figbter back then. But with new multirole aircraft its use is obsolete. Any aircraft is good to be use in Sabah and Sarawak. Even in the Lahad Datu incident the F/A18 joint in the operation. What Sarawak/Sabah airspace lag is a fast multirole fighter to do interception. The TUDM learnt the hardway with MiG29 doing interception duties. To me they should sell the mig. Get Typhoon. 18 plane of tranche 3 and get tranche 2 from Saudi if they want to sell them upgrade to tranche 3. Place one squadron in East malaysia and one in West malaysia. Get another squadron of MKM and place in East. Get second hand FA18 from kuwait or get 16 fA18E/F split them into 2, so you good a good balance. Next trainer scrap the mb339 and hawk and get m346. For turbo prop trainer pc7mk 2 is ok.
Why this mix? Easy one scantion/embargo. Two, at any point of time if and aircraft is grounded another can fly. 3. Each aircraft got it pro and con so. Use the best for a mission. For save fuel from flying from east to west and vic versa.

Mkm is doing fine.
Having russian jet biggest worries is about getting those spare parts but it seem likes malaysia is doing well solving these issues.

ada $$$ ada parts n serbis

if not we wont be signing a service deal with them for our MKM maintenance

part from india have some quality issues or so i was told. Then we opt to stock pile parts sourced direct from russia and build service center for the MKM. Partly also to improve the MKM readiness

Lesson learn from MiG29 exp

btw the US M109 SPH offer dead already right?

Why tudm insist on twin jet? Our neighbours all have a mix of twin and single jet

High end twin jet like f15/sukhoi and mid range single engine f16/gripen

unclear how much we will pay for the hornets dirt cheap or maybe free but we have to pay for the upgrade

The problem is upgrading the hornet to RMAF standard right now is prices
the cost of upgrading the hornet swallow almost all the FMS funding

in the future maybe, but if in near future we might have to say goodbye to the current MMRCA program

Time to scrap idea of those high end fighter

Maintain, upgrade the su30mkm and hornets. I think these are already capable
Retire all mig, hawlks and ancient f5 replace with KAI FA-50 / TA-50/gripen

maintain just 3 variant of jet

Su30mkm
F18
TA-50/gripen

Our navy wake up from their wet dream, with sensible 15 to 5 plan

When will air force wake up

Or if trumps allows it,

F22 Raptors 😝😝

Malaysia should have capability to buy the asset now. The main problem is politics. With people bad mouthing every single buy, like saying someone pocketing money and buying a submarine that cannot swim. It going to be hard and political no-no if the malaysian election is coming. So most probably any announcement will be after election. If TUDM to choose a western MRSS ship, politician will bring in question of why don't buy from this maker or that, its cheaper. They done care of the spec. It happen the the EC725 buy.

Guys what actual RELA do in malaysian security context? I have ask most if my malaysian relatives but none can give an a good answer. Went to KL and Penang for wedding ceremony and so them around but with no weapons.

just ask your opinion, IF a local film company get budget to make a military film target on "Sabah Standoff story“ offcouse involved our arm personal and asset in film (pay for this cost), many local artist ,  do you all think gov/mindef will approval ? will film too sensitive ？

Probably not. Nowadays small, fast jets very very hard to shoot down using MANPADS, especially not the state-of-the-art older ones like SA-7 or Stinger.

But then again, this is the Philippines we're talking about.

yup. american made, 20% more freedom than traditional commie ones

they also have smaw

there's no way those terroriz had access to hesh rounds

adnan & kifv got a basic spaced armour protection so the main blast is away from the vehicle main body
so prolly at most it can inflict some degree of injuries but not fatal..
