The question is do such kits even exist

Inb4 "Marehsia must emulate ISIS"


Well, Wheeled =/= Tracked, so ideally another tracked APC chassis will be bought... but obviously this will only pass if we have oodles of cash which we don't
Frankly I wouldn't be too unhappy to see us continue mass producing AV8

Another One Bites the Dust: Major arms depot falls to Islamic State
http://spioenkop.blogspot.my/2017/03/anoth...arms-depot.html

By Stijn Mitzer and Joost Oliemans

Just over a year after capturing Deir ez-Zor's Ayyash weapon depot in the largest arms haul of the Syrian Civil War, the Islamic State has once again got its hands on massive quantities of ammunition captured from a storage depot in Deir ez-Zor. This arms haul joins the list of other major instances where vast amounts of weaponry and munitions traded owners such as the capture of the aforementioned Ayyash weapon depot, Regiment 121, Brigade 93 and the Mahin arms depot, all but the last of which were at the hands of the Islamic State. Each of these depots provided its capturers with a wide array of weaponry, vehicles and ammunition that could immediately be used against their former owners, a major blow to other factions fighting for control over Syria.

A propaganda video released by the Islamic State, showing its fighters on the offensive in Deir ez-Zor, was the only footage released of the capture of the depot. The video, على أبواب الملاحم - 'At the Doors of Epics [Battles]', details the Islamic State's efforts towards splitting the regime-held territory in two, which they succeeded in doing so in February 2017. This means that the airbase and Brigade 137 are now completely isolated, further complicating efforts to supply both pockets and drastically increasing the vulnerability of the airbase. Despite the growing threat, it remains unlikely that the Islamic State will be able to capture either pocket. The capture of significant quantities of ammunition, including up to three million rounds of small arms rounds will surely allow the Islamic State to prolong its fight for survival.

This is an estimate of the ammunition captured, the real figures are believed to be higher. The contents of at least 652 crates could not be identified. Small arms are not included due to the small quantities captured.

Ammunition:

˜ 3,320,600* rounds of 7.62x39, 7.62x54R, 12.7mm and 14.5mm ammunition.
- 2,310 rounds of 85mm ammunition.
- 693 rounds of 100mm ammunition.
- 13 rounds of 125mm ammunition.
- 120 rounds of 120mm ammunition.
- 68 rounds of 122mm rocket ammunition.
- 15 TM-62 anti-tank mines.

Vehicles:

- 1 T-72M1 TURMS-T.
- 3 T-72M1s.
- 1 AMB-S.
- 1 Tatra 148.
- 1 UAZ-469.
- 5 cars.

Although assessing the exact contents of each spam can of small arms munition is impossible, by volume the total amount would equal roughly 3.32 million rounds of 7.62x39mm, or a slightly smaller numer distributed of larger calibres such as 12.7mm and 14.5mm. Regardless, truly a tremendous amount of small arms ammunition was captured indeed.

Madly overpriced

Ideally, buy another tracked APC, but in practice, no replacement plan. Well they are not incredibly complex machines, can run those things till they fall apart. But we won't have fancy-shmancy "vehicle network" tech lah.

As if we can fight with Piranha, VBL, Boxer, BTR, etc.
Should have just bought off the shelf
If I quote the price difference with any of these other vehicles, you will cry

HMS Ocean is built only to commercial standards, and memang only has a ~20 year life

The refit IIRC was only to keep up with EU environmental regs

I'm certainly not a ship expert but I wouldn't spend LOTS of money to buy a car hoping to use it beyond its planned useful life, too many components can go wrong... what more a far more complex machine like a ship

If gonna go with commercial standards, take a slightly used ship ~5 years say, and mod it like Bunga Mas Lima... will probably work as well... its not like we are conducting opposed amphibious landing, its just a glorified transport ship/heli carrier temporary until we can get a really capable MRSS

US built theirs from scratch but it is quite possible to do from commercial



Most famous example is UK's Atlantic Conveyor which could carry 4 Chinook and had 1 spotted on deck. Immense cargo capacity.

Yes, that is why it is famous lesson learned - from now on put chaff and CIWS on EVERYTHING

However the auxiliary ship in a way did its job screening the carriers, the Exocet went for it rather than HMS Invincible or HMS Hermes, both of which were well covered by chaff and CIWS.

The other auxiliaries which are NOT famous because they were NOT sunk are the ones to learn from. Look at the huge amounts of materiel and men they ferried:

....such as? SA80? G36?! XM8?!?! IMI TAVOR?!?!?!?!

M4 is relatively new development, we used Steyr Aug for a long while and actually trialled both G36 and Xm8
Palagi lu mau

ah the mistake
Should sell it off to some allies and replace with the upgraded design

Singkie dowan a nice new LHA?

DCNS should be more experienced with warm water warships than Scandinavian countries, and so far doing a good job building for French navy and export both

What's the sos for that RSN F35 carrier? Its missing a ski jump btw

I guess...

can't wait for the Singkie forums to be fixed

wow
RPG-2, M-60, 40mm grenades

From a pure cost perspective he has a point; when F35 hits full production it will indeed have the same price tag or be even cheaper

But the running and maintenance costs must be insane with all that stealth coating, and its not suited operationally for our needs

They need to hire media staff wei
Announcement pun macam field manual

Can't just assume, you'd be surprised: 4.5 gen have their own price issues
Program cost per unit of Superbug, Typhoon and Rafale all are clocking in significantly above Usd 100m mark

Whereas F35 unit cost is dropping as production rate improves. The sheer size of the order book (>3000 units) means there are significant economies of scale savings and mitigates the R&D cost

Gathering fr Singkie fleet review?

1st time Trump is in charge

Well thats another campaign promise scratched
But I gotta say, its far more effective than that pussy Obama

1 frigate vs 2 destroyers
Riiiiight

I didn't know until now that Burke DDGs carried that many Tomahawks
96 VLS tubes + the ability to quadpack ESSMs = a hell of a missile load!

not really
US Army considers the T-72's main advantage to be its low silhouette

the massive Iraq losses during Gulf War 1 is due to many factors, if talking about strictly tank-on-tank combat these apply:
1) Iraqi Army's inability to respond to the famous Left Hook, so their tank trenches were effectively outflanked
2) tank trenches were made of uncompacted sand berms that Western APFSDS rounds could actually punch through
3) Western tank systems outranged Iraqi T-72s by at least 1km, sometimes more

The West is well aware that fighting Russian T-72B3s would be very different from fighting Iraqi Asad Babils/T-72s

who is Tanzim Al-Qaida and Darul Islam Sabah?

>MRE
>modern army
>canned
topkek

IDF is different lah
can get pizza delivery faster than cooking ration

I lol because pinoy using cans and calling it world-class MRE when most Western armies are using retort pouch

I was restricting myself to tank duels, of which there were a couple, and involving Republican Guard T-72s as well as regular units' Asad Babils
