well according to WIKI ....
Kuwait's Hornets is F18C single seat version ... seems our RMAF want 2 seater ...
Kuwait have 7 unit F-18D 2 seater trainer jet. 

for me look both also seems not suitable to RAMF...  any good to get other 8-10 F-18C/D to setup full squadron in Penang AB, or get more unit to setup F18 in sabah too.

32 soldiers wounded as latest military offensive against Abu Sayyaf enters Day 2

Thirty-two soldiers were wounded as the military operation against a sub-leader of the Abu Sayyaf Group (ASG) entered its second day on Monday in Sulu province, officials said.

Elements of the Joint Task Force Sulu (JTFS) launched an assault against the group of ASG sub-leader Hatib Hajan Sawadjaan in Talipao town on Sunday.

“Firefight is still ongoing,” Col. Cirilito Sobejana, JTFS commander told the Philippines News Agency on Monday, noting that the wounded soldiers were given medical treatment.

Sobejana could not determine the exact number of casualties on the side of the ASG, saying “reports are still trickling in.”

“We will provide the data later,” Sobejana added.

The group of Sawadjaan has been tagged for the strings of abductions in nearby Malaysia in recent years.

The elusive Abu Sayyaf sub-leader had been the target of the military’s manhunt operations against high value individuals in Sulu after Sawadjaan emerged as the new sub-leader of the bandit group.

Sawadjaan leads at least 150 bandits based on military estimate.

The Abu Sayyaf bandits are still holding captives 28 people, mostly foreigners, and it was not immediately clear if the group of Sawadjaan is holding any of the victims.

The JTFS has beefed up its operations against the ASG, which splintered into several groups, following President Rodrigo Durterte’s order to finish the bandits in six months. The deadline will lapse on June 30.

“Our troops on the ground continue to intensify the conduct of focused military operations in Sulu and adhere to the rules of engagement to contain lawless groups and preempt the conduct of atrocities in the province,” said Maj. Gen. Carlito Galvez Jr., Western Mindanao Command (Westmincom) chief.

“We will continue to support the PNP’s (Philippine National Police) efforts against criminality and lawlessness. The entire Westmincom will be ready to move and react when needed,” Galvez added.

the ph army also uses the rifle and their backyard manufacturing ady know how to make it
so using the ar15 platform just makes sense and other ph rebel groups also uses the rifle

but they are better equip with weapons and radio system.

German army needs to remove WW2-era names: defense minister

The names of German military barracks honoring a handful of World War Two officers should changed to show that the country's post-war armed forces have made a clean break from their Nazi past, Defense Minister Ursula von der Leyen said on Sunday.

Having come in for criticism herself after accusing the Bundeswehr armed forces of "weak leadership" amid a national debate over whether there are right-wing extremists in the military, von der Leyen told Bild am Sonntag newspaper the barracks should no longer be named after Nazi-era officers.

"The Bundeswehr has to send signals both internally and externally that it is not rooted in the tradition of the Wehrmacht," she said, referring to the World War Two-era name for the German army. The Bundeswehr was created in 1955.

"It needs to confidently put more of an emphasis on its own 60-year history. Why not rename those barracks? In light of the recent developments, it's time for a new discussion on that."

The Bundeswehr removed the names of many Wehrmacht soldiers, who were seen by and large as honorable soldiers not tied to any war crimes, during reform carried out in the 1980s and 1990s. Yet about a half dozen barracks remain named after Nazi-era figures, the most prominent of which is General Erwin Rommel, who killed himself in 1944 after a failed attempt to assassinate Adolf Hitler.

"We've got to tackle the issue of renaming barracks," von der Leyen said, adding that such a move should be undertaken as part of efforts to modernize the armed forces.
