By Valeriu Lazar On Jul 12, 2019



The Romanian Army wants modern tanks and negotiates the purchase of last generation Leopard 2 tanks.

The modernization programme would start in 2020, the European Defense Agency says, digi24.ro reports.

Specialists say they are awaiting the latest industry reactions before launching the final consultations with our country and three other countries: Spain, Greece and Cyprus.

Leopard 2 is, besides Germany, equipping 11 other European states. The tank is considered to be among the best in the world, propelled by a diesel engine of 1,500 horsepower and equipped with cannon that can hit a target 2,000 meters away.

According to ‘Jane’s Defense Weekly’, the cost of such a tank can exceed EUR 8 million.

sebenarnya duduk bawah KDN ni lagi sakit pasal KDN got more mouth to feed
tu pasal MMEA dulu sengaja diletakan dibawah JPM, supaya the first 20 years depa boleh cukup dana untuk operate esp dalam pembelian aset

dalam Malaysia APMM and PM has the most operation area esp small boats, the boat operation even exceed the limit of some of the boat and maintenance need to be done more then regular

esp Sarawak and Sabah, dunno why the operation of small fast boat is high

then Malacca straits

MMEA doesn't really require high grade military-spec equipment, so it should be within the means of local shipyards to build these kinds of ships. The design however can be either local or foreign, should not be too much or costly to develop and build, unlike TLDM ships.

Back in LIMA 19, some local groups have already put forward their designs for MMEA motherships.

It allows the MPMS to deploy up to five CJ66 Fast Interceptor Crafts and two smaller RHIBs. The CJ66 FIC features a 12 meters-long composite hull and an endurance of 250 nm. It is powered by three Mercury Verado engines (350 hp), allowing a maximum speed of 60 knots.

But the most important structure remains the helipad mounted above the ship’s bow. According to the Muhibbah drawing, the landing deck will be strengthened enough to receive the MMEA AW 139 medium-sized helicopter.

The MPMS can transport substantial amount of fuel, water and provisions to accommodate 154 sailors, helicopters crews and supporting troops during 30 days.
