PASKAU new camo

Is it really necessary to have all these different cammies for different units? Other than trying to distinguish which service is which. Wanna get distinction, self-prestige and bragging rights?

For me it doesn't seem cost-effective and a waste of money. A single utilitarian design used by all the armed forces would work good both as combat camouflage and sturdy enough for general work clothes for any branch. The SF forces who use them: no matter ATM, TLDM or TUDM SF will most likely operate in the same land environment anyway. Now you have to have two sets of uniform for normal and SF units.

Why the TUDM want light blue camo uniforms anyway? wanna hide their men in the sky izzit? Why the TLDM want dark blue uniforms, wanna hide their men in sea? What's wrong using the standard jungle camo uniform for these services, not like what camo you wear is relevant anyway. You wear jungle camo on ship doesn't influence the ship's camouflage abilities one single bit.

Wataniah is like reserves?

they meet what, each month or so?
*
It is based on the UK territiorial army, where they are for national defence only and are not obliged to fight overseas. A reserve force of the regular army still can be deployed overseas.

After pass basic training, each month you will report to barracks and stay for one weekend only (usually friday evening until sunday evening) and then up to the CO what he wants to do. Then each year got 1 month annual training camp.

That's it.

1 whole month training camp? Wow

Anyway.. indulge me a bit. What are the perks and pay, if any? Hehehe
*
Employers are legally bound to give 'cuti tanpa gaji' for the whole basic training and annual training periods.

Since the Wataniah is a part-time volunteer force, you only get allowances. Wataniah weekend training allowance is RM 70 for officers and RM 48 for other ranks. Annual 1 month training camp attendees will also receive an allowance ranging from RM 1000 for privates (lowest) to RM 6600 for brigadier-Generals (highest).

Besides that, you also get an annual bonus of RM520 if you attend more than 380 hours of weekend training (around 15 days a year). Members can also claim mileage for travel to and from weekend training bases & annual training camps (usual government rate).

While in the service, members & their family are eligible for free medical treatment at all military hospitals in Malaysia. Plus you are also covered by the ATM insurance scheme and are eligible for the purchase of discounted & tax-free items at all PERNAMA stores while non-muslim members also can buy 2 crates of tax-free beer each month.

Contract length of service is 5 years. Members with higher qualifications (degree and above) can apply for the officer training course, which upon passing, members can be commissioned to the junior officer rank of Leftenan Muda (2nd Leftenant).

In wars what would happen to the bodies of these crewmembers? if they were alive, perhaps hostage exchange. but if dead? What happened to the bodies?
*
The decent & proper thing to do, if you can recover them, is to bury the bodies somewhere and inform your enemy of the location of their graves. Then whenever hostilities end both parties can hold discussions about war dead and how both sides can repatriate the remains of their dead.

British military cyber division could be opened up for people with weight problems or minor ailments

user posted image

The military could be opened up to servicemen and women who have minor ailments such as leg injuries, weight problems and asthma, the outgoing head of the Armed Forces signalled yesterday.

Air Chief Marshal Sir Stuart Peach said that as long as they had vital skills such as in cyber-warfare then they should not need to pass the traditional gruelling tests to be in the forces.

Speaking about these keyboard warriors at the Policy Exchange think-tank, he said: ‘We need to be prepared to do some things that some in the room might find uncomfortable.

He continued: ‘I am quite relaxed with having a cyber-force with cyber-warriors who don’t deploy overseas. I am quite relaxed about that because their work is here.

'I am quite relaxed about medical conditions being relaxed because they are not deploying overseas and we need to think about this in a different way.’

It is understood he was referring to potential recruits with minor ailments such as joint problems, lack of fitness and other issues such as asthma that could prevent them serving on the frontline.

The military is facing a recruitment crisis as soldiers take up more well-paid jobs in the private sector.

In April a National Audit Office report found the number of full-time military personnel was 5.7 per cent, or 8,200 people, short of the required level.

But is it necessary for them to join the military proper?

Surely they working for the military as civilian contractors can still do those kinds of jobs.

why are the Gurkhas so highly-regarded?
*
Gurkhas themselves are overrated. Mostly because of British hype & propaganda in the 18th & 19th century that say the Gurkhas are one of the 'martial races' that were superior in warfare that they became well-regarded. In truth the 'martial races' theory was another part of the British 'divide and rule' strategy, to make some races in the British empire feel superior to their own countrymen who were not 'martial races'. This helped foster disunity and made concerted resistance against the British unlikely.

As highly-regarded as they were, Gurkhas were never used that much by the British army in all their history. The vast majority of soldiers who fought and died for British empire from the 19th century up to WW2, were the decidedly humble Bengali Sepoys from eastern India. By the end of WW2, as many as 1/2 of all British Empire soldiers were Indians (around 2.5 million out of a total of 5 million). It could be argued that without the Indians, the British Army would not have survived WW2.

Even the famed Gurkha Kukri knife was actually a common cutting implement in continental India, especially the north (where it originated as a farming tool in the first place) and many Indian soldiers in history carried it as well. Only British propaganda made them exclusively Gurkha.

An LPD actually is used to 'ferry' soldiers, landing vehicles and helicopters to the landing zone.

Im more interested in that "tank" (APC?) that can go into water (salt or fresh? both?) without damaging itself. Is it floating OR threading on the seabed?? Surely there are dips on the seabed, what if the tank/apc dips and water starts pouring in?

IN a war without any mapping knowledge of new areas and its seabed, it seems like a dangerous maneuver.

So... is it floating or threading along the seabed?  cool2.gif  cool2.gif If it is threading, it reminds me of hippos threading in the water to attack his victims
*
I think all amphibious landing vehicles are designed to float. During landings, the hatches would usually be sealed. Propulsion would be provided either by waterjets, propellers or a specially shaped tracks that works like a paddle wheel.

Also, amphibious landings are not done on the fly, it needs meticulous preparations. This includes continuous accurate surveying of the landing beach and its approaches (sometimes done up to the night of the planned landings).

Future of Malaysia's defence scene, LIMA and Defence Services Asia as Malaysia ushers in a new government
*
Probably will go on.

Both of these exhibitions were founded by Mahathir (LIMA 1991 & DSA 1988) so he may have a soft spot for them. Plus they bring in very good income to the local economy from local and international exhibitors & visitors. Each show also has expanded considerably, with LIMA 2017 having been attended by a record 550 exhibitors & 180,000 visitors. This represented a 10% expansion from the previous LIMA expo.

Also these shows give a very visible prestige for Malaysia in the field of defence & security, with both shows easily being in the top 10 international defence exhibitions.

but what's the expenditure like? or is it independently funded?
*
I dont think it's that much. It's just a trade show anyway. We organize it and that's all.

Provide a place and the best defence companies will pay top dollar for the best exhibition space. Plus international and local visitors who book local hotels and go somewhere else & spend while visiting also bring big money for the local economy.

But this all depends on Malaysian reputation on the field. In this case LIMA and DSA has proven themselves recognized and very popular with international defence companies, hence its success. We expect these Malaysian defence exhibits will only grow from here.

With Malaysia now also debuting a new trade show specializing in national & public security in ASIA: NATSEC Asia, which runs alongside DSA 2018, things continue to look up for Malaysia's reputation as an excellent host of defence & security exhibitions.
