A main battle tank (MBT), also known as a battle tank or universal tank:

Today, main battle tanks are considered a key component of modern armies. Modern MBTs seldom operate alone, as they are organized into armoured units which involve the support of infantry, who may accompany the MBTs in infantry fighting vehicles. They are also often supported by surveillance or ground-attack aircraft.

Hand cranked turret

their army only 2 battalions i think... lol

Thrust Vectoring Control of SU-30SM & SU-30MKM at LIMA 17

thats actually a pretty standard thing even today

RTA ordered ZBL-09 from NORICO to be commissioned in the cavalry unit.

Foreign correspondent said to TAF in LIMA 2017 yesterday that the Royal Thai Army signed the order to buy 34 ZBL-09 8×8 and 12,506 30 mm round from China’s NORICO.

ZBL-09 can be compared to BTR-3E1 earlier procured and deployed in the infantry units. RTA will buy one battalion of ZBL-09 and aim for 2020 delivery at the price of 1.695 mil USD each. TAF believe that this order is a part of the 400 million Baht project to upgrade the RTA maintenance factory to be able to maintain and refurbish all Chinese-made vehicle in RTA, including VT-4 tank, Type-85 and ZBL-09. Thy aim to become the regional center for Chinese vehicle maintenance.

22/03/2560 07.45 น. ThaiArmedForce.com – กองทัพบกไทยจัดหา ZBL-09 จากจีนจำนวน 34 คัน พร้อมกระสุน 12,506 นัด โดยจะเข้าประจำการใน หน่วยทหารม้า

ผู้สื่อข่าวต่างประเทศกล่าวกับ TAF ในงาน LIMA 2017 วานนี้ว่า กองทัพบกไทยได้ลงนามจัดซื้อยานเกราะล้อยาน 8×8 แบบ ZBL-09 จาก NORICO ประเทศจีนแล้ว

ZBL-09 มีสมรรถนะใกล้เคียงกับ BTR-3E1 ที่กองทัพบกไทยเคยจัดหาและประจำการอยู่ในหน่วยทหารราบ โดยกองทัพบกไทยจัดหาจำนวน 1 กองพัน คาดว่าจะได้รับรถในปี 2562 โดยกำหนดราคากลางของรถที่ราคาคันละ 1.695 ล้านเหรียญสหรัฐ (59,325,000 บาท) และกระสุนขนาด 30×165 มม. ที่ราคานัดละ 155 เหรียญสหรัฐ (5,425 บาท) ซึ่งเป็นการยืนยันว่ารถจะมาพร้อมกับป้อมปืนขนาด 30 มม. TAF เชื่อว่าการจัดหาในครั้งนี้เป็นส่วนหนึ่งของสัญญาการจัดตั้งโรงงานซ่อมสร้างยุทธยานยนต์จีนมูลค่า 400 ล้านบาทที่กระทรวงกลาโหมจะลงทุนที่โรงงานซ่อมสร้างยุทโธปกรณ์สายสรรพาวุธของกองทัพบก เพื่อเพิ่มศักยภาพให้สามารถซ่อมบำรุงรถถัง VT-4 และยานเกราะ Type-85 รวมถึง ZBL-09 ดังกล่าว โดยคาดหวังว่าโรงงานจะเป็นศูนย์กลางในการซ่อมบำรุงยุทธยานยนต์ของจีนในภูมิภาคได้

New Zealand is one of the country that is lucky as only country with aircraft carrier can successfully take over them. If someone want to attack them they need to capture Australia first. Thats why most of their politician don't see the important of a fighting air force.

I believe most of the fully upgraded US Humvees in Iraq have electric turrets

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

Certainly more than our poor Igla operator

Btw since when we have 40mm AGL

dem paras.. they like to go around with little to no protection



the 40mm agl is not that rare i think..
seen it numerous times when it got deployed to sabah

Merdeka.com - Dalam peperangan, jumlah personel tentara harus dimaksimalkan. Termasuk untuk urusan penggunaan senjata. Selama ini, dibutuhkan setidaknya 15 personel TNI untuk mengoperasikan meriam. Dinas Penelitian dan Pengembangan Angkatan Darat (Dislitbangad) tengah menyiapkan Mekatronik mortir 81mm yang lebih canggih.


Dalam pengoperasian alat ini menggunakan software dan hanya membutuhkan tiga orang. Kepala seksi uji senjata amunisi laboratorium Dislitbangad Mayor Inf Suratmoko menuturkan, mekatronik mortir 81mm tidak menghabiskan tenaga personel tentara. Suratmoko menargetkan tahun depan Mekatronik mortir 81mm akan mendapatkan sertifikasi.

"Mudah-mudahan tahun depan akan kita sempurnakan dan sertifikasi. Kemudian meriam kita masih butuh 15 orang jadi prajurit kita habis. Kami ingin meningkatkan hal-hal yang seperti ini nah inilah fungsinya penelitian," jelas Suratmoko di Laboratorium litbang di Pusdik Kopassus Batujajar, Bandung Kamis, (23/3).

Mekatronik ini bisa mencapai 85 derajat dari yang sebelumnya hanya 14 derajat saat masih menggunakan sistem manual. Suratmoko beralasan keterbatasan tenaga dalam pengembangan menjadikan mekatronik ini baru dikembangkan tahun depan.

Kekurangan pada alat saat ini adalah masih membutuhkan kursi untuk menaruh mortir ke ujung laras. Nantinya jika sudah disertifikasi pada 2018, alat ini sudah ada di dalam kendaraan, sehingga pengoperasiannya tinggal menggunakan GPS dan langsung ditembakkan ke sasaran.

"Kesulitan saat penembakan butuh kursi untuk menaruh mortir ke ujung Laras. Jadi untuk penembakan tetap satu-satu. 2018 sudah disertifikasi dan di kendaraan, jadi kita nggak lagi ngangkat mortir. Kita tinggal mengarah dengan GPS lalu tembak," jelasnya.

Mig-29 upgrade programme is in the card

I actually hope this will go through even when rmaf is getting 18 new aircraft. we're lacking airframe and we cannot rely on hawks to defend entire sabah/sarawak. Hope both hawk and mig-29 are stationed in labuan on permanent basis while the f-18/su30/rafale (kek) can rotate

oso, many sabah/sarawak pipu have served with smokey bandits. our first female fighter pilot (a sabahan ) served with the migs as well as our current air force chief (sarawakian)

were you watching the tn50 event?

no. what happened?

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.

next ,we gonna have 5 types of combat aircraft...sukhoi,f18,hawk,mig,rafale ?.... a truly rojak...

how efficient is that with the number of each type of aircraft is very low... we are going to have 5 different types of logistic footprint (maintenance,support,groundcrew and pilot training, etc)

in the RMAF future plan
Hawk is not a front line fighter
