Hmph
No capital punishment doesn't mean release. Can always extradite to US, I'm sure they'd be happy to receive
As always in Msia, the problem is not in legislation, we usually have plenty of that. The problem is in enforcement.

Perhaps a bad decision...need at least..a few dedicated air defence frigates as escort.

Sebab tu I kata, it's enforcement not legislation that's the issue

do pakistan even have the money to be able to fund a carrier battle group 
later end up like Siam's royal yacht

Teen Killed In Grenade Attack In Jammu, Suspect From Hizbul Mujahideen Arrested: Police

A grenade lobbed by a minor at a bus stand in Jammu this afternoon killed a teen and injured at least 30 others, the police said. The attacker, who has been arrested, is a class 9th student, said to be 15 or 16 years old. Police say he was indoctrinated by the Hizbul Mujahideen and tasked to carry out the strike.

The teen who died was 17 years old - Mohammad Sharik, a resident of Uttarakhand's Haridwar, had sustained fatal splinter injuries in the chest. All the injured have been hospitalised and five of them are critical, doctors said. Most of the injured, an officer said, are bus drivers and conductors.

The grenade attack comes three weeks after the suicide bombing at Pulwama in which 40 soldiers died.

The attacker, sources say, is a student of a private school in south Kashmir's Kulgam, who reached Jammu this morning. Questions are now being raised on how he could travel all the way undetected and also against the traffic movement on Srinagar-Jammu National Highway which is open for only one-way traffic. Yesterday, traffic was allowed from Jammu to Srinagar.

The police said they identified him using the CCTV footage from the area and the help of eyewitnesses. A red rucksack he was carrying helped in the identification.

The teen had mingled with a group of Kashmiris waiting at the bus stand before he lobbed the grenade under a parked bus around 11.30 am.

After the blast, the teen tried to flee to Kashmir. He was caught by the personnel at a police check post at Nagrota, 20 km from Jammu.

"He has confessed to his crime. A Hizbul commander from Kulgam had tasked him with the grenade attack," said Manish K Sinha, an officer of the state police. 

The attack, officers said, was aimed at creating communal polarisation in Jammu.

This is the third grenade attack by terrorists in the bus stand area of the city since May last year.

The attack comes a week after the Indian Air Force carried out air strikes on the biggest terror camp of Jaish-e Mohammad in Pakistan's Balakot. Jaish has taken responsibility for the February 14 attack, surprising security forces who said the group's top order in the state has been wiped out.

Indonesian soldiers clash with rebels amid tensions over Papua highway

JAKARTA: Three Indonesian soldiers were killed in a clash with dozens of rebels in the eastern province of Papua, the military said late on Thursday, the latest deaths amid high tensions and violence in the restive region.

Papua, a former Dutch colony and the western part of New Guinea island, was incorporated into Indonesia after a widely criticised UN-backed referendum in 1969.

A long-running separatist movement in the region has seen an increase in violence in recent months.

A team of 25 soldiers was ambushed by up to 70 “armed criminals” carrying military-standard weapons and traditional weapons, the Indonesian army said in a statement.

“The team fought back until they were able to drive the armed criminal group back into the forest. Three soldiers died in the attack,” the army said.

Up to 10 rebels were thought to have been killed, but only one of their bodies was found, it added.

Two military helicopters dispatched to evacuate the soldiers also came under fire, the army said.

A spokesman for the rebel group, known as the West Papua Liberation Army, said at least five soldiers had been killed and Indonesian forces had set fire to several houses in the Nduga area. Sebby Sambom did not say how many casualties the group suffered.

Indonesia has deployed hundreds of soldiers to build a major highway connecting the remotest parts of the resource-rich province, after 16 construction workers were killed by separatists late last year.

Since then, fighting between rebels and the Indonesian military has caused hundreds of villagers to flee the Nduga area in western New Guinea island.

President Joko Widodo, who faces an election in April, has vowed to finish the highway project as part of his promise to develop Papua, Indonesia’s poorest region. -- Reuters

Dah pakai balaclava pun mata kena censored jugak ke

Indo wins again..lulz

is Pindad rifle really that good?

or all Indo contingent consists of Kopassus?

Vietnam uses SS-1....not SS-2

SS2 has slightly longer barrel at 460mm and SS1 at 449mm

SS2 also has heavier barrel, so more resistant to heat buildup...

Of course, no matter how skilled the team is, they won't perform well with sub-par rifle.

At least, SS-2 is comparable to current modern rifles, like Austeyr and M16A4..... if not better than average

Most modern assault rifle can do that nowadays, that's a pretty common modification. Changing the barrel

Selection of assault rifle is obviously crucial...of course, M16 is still good and accurate...it has 11 cm grouping at 100 meters. The same team won't perform as good with a AK-47, with average 15 cm grouping at 100 meters.

G36 can be considered as sub par rifle...its barrel is hold in place with a plastic component, which will deform due to excess heat after sustained fire, degrading accuracy significantly and permanently, until repaired.

Sigh. To be expected.
don't think there's any Aspide upgrades

The missiles should have expired. I will guess that the Aspide launcher can’t be as easily removed.

I'm not sure if hydrographic sonar mapping equipment can be packed inside something as small as an ISO container and still work. For one, where does the Sonar transmitter and receiver (which is supposed to be on the underside of the hull, usually set in blisters or domes) go?

IMO hydrographic survey ships are pretty specialized vessels with specialized gear and I doubt all the equipment needed for the job can be limited to fit an ISO container.
