err, some computers, medical equipment and treatment are developed by Israel , so how ? Its not a valid argument. Msia don't have an attack heli, msia does need some. Its either American apache, kiowa or Russian night hunter or alligator.

Malaysia never a fan of Apache

Seems like we used to be gossiped with the Rooivalk (TD Rejected the idea)
the Tiger and for some time the Zulu Cobra

I too like Zulu Cobra

Malaysia should have more MDs. One squadron for each division. The full attack helicopter like apache or zulu only tag with the main armour brigade. More efficient. Also the Md can be use for specops.

If navy have no money why they funded lms project using their own budget?

the better question is, how navy can acquire their own money to fund lms procurement when news said Malaysia no money?

how accurate is this news?

so its up to malaysia gomen to set priority level of defence budget

not going to say i disagree with u, but not everything about military procurement will have "x% for my pocket, y% for actual armed forces", unless u can prove otherwise

like previous Hornet procurement, its a gov-to-gov purchasing

what i see here is that gomen through najib administration have become very careful in military spending & plus najib's team focus for economic development more than military spending..past experience of military asset procurement has thought him a gud lesson i think..EC725, Su-30MKM, Scorpene, all being politicized to the max..funnily enough, behind the political outcry, there's always a figure thats have link to the lose lobbyist..i guess thats how the business work in defence market

ps: still remember anwar condemned EC725 procurement & said its better to buy Mi-171 Kazan in large number (LEL like we dunno who behind him)

interesting, who is not telling the whole truth now? 

Not like the suppose to be LMS.....because LMS, like RSN has container dock at the back to equip for different task. If this is the LMS that we are going to buy, I dont see any multi-mission capabilities.

good news , we should consider

Rafale deals got Awacs
So does Super Hornet but only if RMAF buy 36 hornet then get 4 E2D

36 super hornet + 4 e2d + weapons package + maintenance + spare.
I think it going to cost malaysia usd4bil max.

msia kearah kuasa militer besar! 

usd 4.6b for 36SH and 4 E-2D is way too cheap/low...

just look at the Brazilian fighter contest ,they chose gripen at the price of usd 5b, instead of 36 SH for usd7.5b or 36 rafale for usd 8b

Not really.
super hornet is way cheaper than f35.
Fly away cost ~usd70mil.
Unless you are talking about the f18G or the Australian version.
That would be expensive and malaysia unlikely to get approval to buy it.
Iirc we were once offer usd1.5bil+ for 18 super hornet + spare.
https://www.flightglobal.com/news/articles/...ication-154840/

sgpv batch 2?   

Should be around usd70mil.
Unless Boeing close the production reopening and low production would be very expensive.

hopefully get FREMM-ER .... but with at lease 48-64 VLS.

base on our navy use US standard weapon missile
LCS AAW possible with 4 fix panal Sea Master 400 radar + SM2 missile (wish) + CAMM-ER+ SeaRAM2 for 3 layer defense。

SH block iii is still at the demonstrator phase. although trump had ordered a study between SH and f35, its not yet a sure case.

but sylver can't do quadpack missile。 using MK41 can have ESSM or future CAMM-ER & JSM missile VLS...  CAMM quardpack so far only develop for Mk41  and ExLS vls
SCALP  i like very like too, but under international weapon control can't export missile over 300km range。 so France can't export to as。
