Malaysia to send troops to Somalia on humanitarian mission

KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will send troops to Somalia as part of a humanitarian mission following prolonged drought in the country, says Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein.

The Defence Minister said the troops, along with assets, will be sent from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

"The decision (to send the troops) was reached after my meeting with Somalia Deputy Prime Minister Mohamed Omer Arteh Ghalib on Tuesday.

"He (Mohamed Omer) requested the ministry's assistance in providing aid in terms of food, medicine and expertise of the Armed Forces' medical unit," Hishammuddin said in a statement Friday.

He added that Somalia's request was brought to the attention of and approved by the Cabinet Friday.

Hishammuddin said three officers and 17 personnel from the Armed Forces Medical Core will be sent to Somalia.

"An infantry unit, consisting of an officer and 10 men, will provide security for the Malaysian delegation.

"Food and medical supplies will be flown to Somalia via a Hercules C-130 aircraft," he said.

nope there is no plan to change anything
mumbly297 is taking high level weed

yes ima referring to the malinnov
nothing is set in stone yet so better dun say anything yet

this lima 2017 event malinnov will try to market it to the security agencies so let see how it goes
quality wise if their goal is to have a competitive-shooting quality precision gun then its ady a very good standard lor

given their defence budget and regional threat the ak-variants still a jack of all trades rifle

the youtube vid is a fan-made stuff though.. with scenes from a sig sauer commercial


the whole channel is also full with fantasy stuff..

all that you see is most likely just for show/demo stuff that suits the audience for a half an hour
their marines doctrine is supposedly modeled and trained by the us marines themselves




'Pride of the Pacific' trains new Sri Lankan marine corps

Camp Pendleton Marines wrapped up the first official training mission with the newly created Sri Lankan marine corps last week, the latest sign of the U.S. military stepping up engagement in the Indo-Asia-Pacific region.

Sri Lanka stood up its new naval infantry this year with a core force of seven officers and 150 sailors and modeled it on the U.S. Marine Corps, its Navy announced in November.

More than 300 U.S. Marines and sailors with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit spent three days with Sri Lanka's fledgling corps, teaching them basic military skills.

The small island nation off the coast of southern India, Sri Lanka is situated along vital maritime transit routes and can play a important role in maintaining the strategic balance in the region and keep China in check.

Sri Lanka is between a rock and a hard place as India and China vie for regional dominance: historical grievances prevent Sri Lanka from getting too close to India, while aggressive Chinese expansion is seen there as a direct threat to autonomy.

“From Sri Lanka’s perspective, they are too weak to be totally independent, so their hope is to balance India and China in such a way as to not completely lose their autonomy,” explained Sarah Watson, an expert in security dynamics of the Indian Ocean at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

The joint training with the U.S. Marines shows that Sri Lanka is emerging as a “significant contributor” to security of the “maritime superhighways” of the region, U.S. Pacific Command commander Navy Adm. Harry Harris Jr. said in a statement in November.

go for screenshot?

topkek this news slowpoke like 6 months when bijan revealed the annual budget
in there almost everything got cut down (except for his own department like usual lel)

cutting down on news orders? i didnt recall the lms or sgpv project got shelved and the 15-to-5 plan is still going on
true several vessels is gonna be retired but that only comes in effect when their replacement or outsource vessel is operational

not sure if the author realize that in the transformation plan the navy will actually have more vessels compared to the current fleet

i say the whole world is on heightened security lvl
dangerous times we live in right now

err.. low morale doesnt exactly forces you out of the military career
most likely unattractive retirement plan or crappy home finance scheme?

i think fmt quoted his article without his permission

steyr issue isnt really about quality but more about its maintenance and inherent design..

the steyr were brought "as is" meaning they were a stock design from their austrian factories
which may have worked in their country of origin but completely ignored our msian tropical settings

the humidity and lack of waterproofings means the mechanical parts needs to be dried off before every use
and with more mechanical parts its more prone to jams in the auto setting; suffice to say its a maintenance nightmare
even the aussie learned this and made modification to their own stery aug to the f88 standard

the rifle is actually is still in service though, but mostly for rear line troops and reserve particularly the artys and support corps

err.. the taiwan frigate is made in french
taiwan only did final weapons assembly

i see they added a dual fast ramp for rhib boats

simply cuz it would cost more to mod it
smeo can oni afford for license-production
