I wonder what equipment will we use for our MRSS?

New helis, LCAC, landing crafts, amphibious armored vehicles? we never had most of these before. New purchases incoming?

Malaysia - RMAF

Kawasaki P-3C Orion

Anyhow, apart from the Saudi/Kuwait aircraft, Malaysia has also been offered surplus P-3C Orions MPAs from Japan. The Defence Ministry is hoping Japan will pay for the refurbishment costs just like what happened with the two ex=Japanese Coast Guard ships donated to the Malaysian Coast Guard.

Japan paid for the RM26 million refurbishment cost of KM Pekan, the media was told at LIMA 17.

No one can tell me the cost of refurbishing the four aircraft offered but RMN chief Admiral Kamarulzaman Badaruddin told me that if accepted that the Orions will be stripped of the submarine hunting equipment and no weapons will be donated as well. The other surveillance gear will be maintained.

Japan has some 81 Orions in service with its navy. These aircraft were licensed built Kawasaki of Japan, which is manufacturing their replacements, the P-1 MPA.

Su30MKM's main base, Gong Kedak. Why would the base be there??

Wasted 5 minute and no answer also

Not even informative

we dun have plan for marine corps (not anymore) so we dun need lcac or aav. prolly lcu to land lori 3 tan and other light vehicle but that's about it. mrss is mainly for logistical sapork and humanitarian effort anyway

LPD deck is big so any type of helo can land without need of haul down device like rast, so any type of helo can land, even nuri

Why is Gong Kedak chosen to be the base for the Su30MKM?

Why is Gong Kedak chosen to be the base for the Su30MKM?

Our economy situation basically destroyed hopes of rmas getting their new MRCA

With ATM capabilities now and asset available.
Rejiment that most probably using for amphibious assault and heli assault would be 10 Para and the Mechanise brigade.
Helicopter should be EC725 or Nuri. Both medium weight helicopter.
For amphibious landing, LCVP and LCM.
LCVP can carry personnel and vehicle up to 5ton load if not wrong. LCM such as LCM1e which Australia and Spain is using can carry 1 MBT.
For normal personnel assault TLM got CB90s and Police marine got Seacat m14 or 18.
For logistic wise the LCVP and LCM is capable it the matter of how many the ship can carry.
For now the PT PAL ships are good for Indo and Philipines forces as they have marine with sea going APC. It not that singapore and Malaysia APC cannot swim but the level of survivallity with certain sea state.

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

Good idea but will not happen.
One is SU30mkm and Mig are russian. So if NATO or US go to UN and ask for embargo on russia and if this happen those plane will be grounded.
Two if and accident happen in one type of plane or helicopter and the plane/helicopter were force to be grounded due technical check. TUDM will have less plane/helis to fly. Thats why TUDM insist on new set of western plane. World politics do play a part ob the choice. Not that FA50 and Grifen are no good but safer to fly across water with 2 engine.

point is, since the marine corps plan is put on the backburner, both navy and army didn't have to spend too much for specific equipments other than landing craft

the main use of mrss is for logistic and humanitarian effort after all
