sure...we sure can afford F35
pffffff

please no typhoon or su35. those plane looks like no future.
85m is good actually. its the correct price for 5th gen so far.
last time i read, the government accountability office have been inform the F35 will be priced around 90m-95m range,so its already down so much now.
if we can afford,it would be good but its operating cost will make RMAF broke soo much


F18 yeah...its a good decision. but Gripen NG just big NOPE. its not just procurement cost and operating cost should be review but also the future plan. the F35,F18 or F15 already have future plan where it will be upgrade with more feature overtime to be able to keep up with future tech. but typhoon,gripen or even Rafale was none. if we want to upgrade,we need to figure out ourselves means we need to make the R&D and its very costly and time consuming. example looks at our MKM,its one of its kind and take a lot of time and resources to get the necessary abilities.

Typhoon upgrade was already stated during buy in including Brimstone and Paveways, Meteor BVRAAM and Captor AESA radar but dont know about CFT(maybe i miss those). when those upgrade available, the user will be able to get it. the reason i said it have bleak future because german air force may decided(some said already in motion) to get F35 rather than another batch of typhoon. this will be follow by other EU maybe which will make the market even smaller for typhoon. thus less sale,no production,maybe close line and less future upgrade. but who know, the saudi and the gang might "cough" up money for BAE to upgrade typhoon since they cant get F35.

I not confident with Gripen NG. its the E/F series right??its still early stage and need time to mature.

philippines really good huh
saw the news about the monsoon and flood on its capital. even without the flood,their infrastructure really need improve. if somehow this submarine deal goes through within this 5 years, they will have soo much fun

IMO F16 able to be one of effective plane because it have a lot of user and all those feed info and help it improve. Gripen it will take time and need a lot of user. maybe if it win India IAF requirement it will be the next F16 in future.

UK and saudi will confirm upgrade but other will see if German get F35 and if its a better deal,who know man...

once all those EU(surely UK) country got F35, most of them will integrate it with typhoon networking thus making it more deadlier as F35 stealth will find the target and link it to the typhoon to be eliminated. but the US will surely use their F15 in those situation. and new F15 upgrade able to carry more bomb and missile

UK and Saudi will upgrade it. they are the big sponsor of typhoon.

thanks for that articles. its a good analysis. but the shocker is the price of F15X is somewhat affordable as quote in articles between $50 to $75 million.



why would LIMA cancel??did someone suggest that

i thought it was design like that??F35 with full stealth but lack offensive capabilities complement with other asset(F15/F18) with lack stealth but full offensive capabilities.

although the F35 was suppose to be the replacement for other legacy(F16,F15,F18) it seem it only be F22 replacement.some also suggest having same plane to cover all mission will be cost effective but not strategic wise since most design have it flaw. so better to have 2 or 3 design to be safe. of course it only can be done with super power only not ciput budget nation.

LIMA is suppose to be expo like to show off since it attract tourism. less likely to be sales but rather just to glorified and publicly show off the ASEAN.

another Elbit made in the house. before this its the Singapore. Israel made have make it presence in SEA strongly now. maybe next we gonna see thailand operate hermes next.

known that..i said hermes bro. sorry to say but hermes kinda game changer in the UAV territory on SEA. a reliable platform with weapon ability.

really??i thought hermes 450 have an option for weapon pylon. must be confuse with other UAV

what your take on that???who will be the favorite

dude...ex IGP pioneered this style in Msia??what??Tegang tapi takleh lepas

hahaha

what that IGP do?

there is a thing you need to inform to public and something just dont. does this only about informing the public or just political millage??would be efficient to investigate first and inform public later?does inform public will improved efficiency of the investigation? think about it.

to me its more professionalism to inform public with press conference or official letter because public can ask in person and leave less room for stupid interpretation which our social media really super in it .

in july,only 4 out of 28 Russian fighters jets was able to fly. meanwhile 4 out of 18 mkm was able to fly. so in the Merdeka parade there will be mix MIG and MKM???

i though MIG was not in used and in store.anyways, congrats on our menhan on juggling issue

agree with you..that is why i garu my head when read this. i think our menhan really tired now and make mistake. he need to take vacation ASAP to energize.

we will see what happen in merdeka parade. who know menhan new spell help MIG to be reborn or its just only MKM(pretty sure only MKM).


the planning is to have MRCA by now to support the RMAF but the plan got delay and no other alternative being made so they stuck like this. all need to be blame from PM,old menhan,new menhan and dont forget politician for not hearing our ATM cries.

the problem now we already said we have no money, we gave middle finger to china(no money to further project and want more fair trade deal) and we said we got 1 trillion ringgit debt. if we suddenly cough up money and bought jets it will be a tornado of shit although we need it. anyways it nod about money but also the will. having the will to buy and operate the jets also a consideration in procurement.

i think the term is priority. we never priority defense in our govt. no politician or even minister ever campaign we need an strong and more dependent armed forces. so far all those politician or minister just said things in ceramah and see if there is an attracted voter or supporter which none of citizen even care.

the priority is always making sure the citizen will vote for them and citizen want good education, healthcare,facilities and affordable life. that is all. defense is at 7th or maybe way below that in our list of priorities.

on the contrary,some of our retired serviceman tried to persuade politician or minister to the problem in the ATM and some persuaded politician in sabah and sarawak now see that the politician need to play role in parliament to get necessary protection of sabah and sarawak rather than hoping the govt know what they want.

as long as there is no WILL to do something,there will be nothing.



actually the term is phased out which being used by RMAF usualy. it being used not only in MIG but also Pilatus PC-7 Mk and Alouette III helicopter. go here

actually as far as i can see, the RMAF tried to keep the option open since they also know money/budget was tight and may not be enough so they keep the upgrading MIG as an last ditch option. but between the decision made and now things just keep shown we better choose other than MIG. even LIFT have been thrown int equation now although not a suitable replacement to MIG but it is affordable and have good trck record.

i think it is ok if we the military enthusiast or normal citizen does not know the current story of our MIG(although i am sure most of military enthusiast know about it) but if our menhan does not know,it reflect poorly to the ministry and those involve. especially menhan which can access all the report and summon the person in charge/CO to meet to discuss rather than blurt out things as they want.

dude...you ok bro??kinda lough out loud i the middle of night reading your comment

with Dr M, propaganda is a must. now he have most of the card,he need to show it. plus with the recent shitnado event with MKM on RMAF, they need to show they are worth(although there already are with that kind of budget) and things is good.

BTW you know anything good on the next defense budget???things kinda senyap now. with slow economy in future really want to know the next is.
