The DWP was released on 1 Dec 2019. I read the whole thing that night right after it was released. Yes as a general idea of what we need to defend our nation.

https://www.bharian.com.my/berita/nasional/...dua-peranan-atm
Of course not MINDEF responsibility. But it is a responsibility of MINDEF and TLDM not to plan things that overlap MMEA tasks and missions, and take Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency Act 2004 into account. Saving precious resources.


They all fighting for a limited resources afterall.

We are not Sinki where an agency got a monopoly of a single responsibility. Over here Multiple agencies can do similar thing. RAC,Prasarana,MRT corps, Penang gov & IRDA all are building rapid transit line.

The agency that can convince the gov why they should get the job, get the jobs. So you know, so the guy with the Best plan win. Horrible agency get their agency dismantle and absorbed to other agencies.

So considering the similar number of 18 OPV & 18 FAC they both comes up with. I guess they go wrote a full document on how they should monopolize all jobs and then let gov decide which agency do what.

Japan does that because there are many islands japan need to recover if they are captured by enemy.

Australia does that because they plan to operate thousands of miles from Australian mainland.

Swedes does what they do because they are defending their mainland from perceived russian amphibious attack.

Which of the 3 is the mission most similar to what malaysia need?

Because of our unique geographical situation, MRSS should be a ship with main mission to quickly transport 1 whole mechanised battalion from west to east malaysia. To quickly reinforce our land forces in sabah and sarawak. With other secondary capabilities.


They already explicitly said for forward deployment beyond the tanah air.
Why do Swedish solution when ATM wants to pull an Aussie?

If you want to operate independently then don't join any alliances.

QUOTE
Korean Blackhawks the oldest is less than 20 years old. If referring to our use of Nuri for more than 50 years, there is still 30 years left in those Blackhawks.

You say need to buy new helicopters now, what advanced tactical transport helicopter can we buy now?

You mention H160. Do you realise the H160 is a 5ton helicopter like the AW139? H160 is designed to replace the Dauphin. Blackhawk is a 10ton helicopter. What new advanced 10ton vertical lift aircraft that is available now?

And if we need to buy, more $$$$$ needed.


Yeah, some equipment here don't even get through to the age of 30.
Use it too long and it keep falling off the sky like Nuri. We aren't very good at maintenance afterall.

As it is the plans for new helicopter is on the next RMK. ATM want spanking new helo while gov want to CKD those helo,Infact there's a high probability that even the LCA would get assemble here. The US unlike B4 are more welcoming to the idea of distributed manufacturing & maintenance in preparation for their cold war while we want to realized those aeroangkasa industry whatever they got in plan for RMK12.

Infact how they going to acquired those 6 MPA over a period of 15 years do sounds like the conversion would be done locally.

Yeah i mention H160 because it's not the best tools for everything but good enough general purpose tools to be use by all internal security & defense agency thus allowing you an economic of scale. The Blackhawks size is a wee bit too big for the CG,navy, police & bomba.

Maybe the air force can get away by arguing in battlefield search & rescue, the less heli the better. Guess the navy also lucky by arguing that h160 ASW is not a thing yet and thus they get to buy the heli they wanted.

H160 is the bridge between last gen helo like dauphin & next gen like the x3/FVL. Once they sell enough and get the R&D money they need, it would be further develop into the x3 or at the very least get the fly by wire just enough to put those tiny wing like bell fera design. Again if they truly CKD this thing it would come in batches over decades rather than 1 big time purchase.


QUOTE
CG deals with CG. Does not matter if it is under military or not.


That's asymmetrical warfare going too far. sending our police who neglected their job as a police to fight an army that's pretend to be a Police while sending our army to do police jobs.

QUOTE
For sea assertion, why you include the LCS numbers? We need 12 frigates and 18 OPVs overall.


Go to MOF and argue why 12 special purpose frigate is needed but it wouldn't do any peacetime patrol but instead we going to order 18 more OPV that's jobs to do peacetime patrol but no wartime utility. I guranteed you the first question is why not go buy the frigates only and do peacetime patrol with it

Remember the lcS is also known as 2GPV.

QUOTE
If MMEA task is not to babysit Chinese Coast Guard, then better don't have our own coast guard.


Then whose going to fight the penyeludup, pirate & economic migrants? Using navy to go into hot pursuit into our neighbors territories aren't really well received by their public and them doing so here won't be well received as well.

Penyeludup, pirate & migrants are more of a concern then Chinese CG because these people create a loss of economic opportunity to our country.


QUOTE
If our problem is overstretched and underfunded coast guard, the logical solution should not be to waste money on TLDM OPVs. We should properly fund our coast guard instead.
Those small ships will have plenty of peacetime missions. Navy large frigates, which we should have more that what we have currently, should operate offshore, but to shadow chinese submarines. MMEA large OPVs babysitting chinese coast guard OPVs.

If we buy many navy NGPVs, what can that do against Chinese Navy ships and missiles?


They already said it 2 years ago and I had repeat so many time already.
NGPV IS A WARSHIP NOT A GUNBOAT.

overshadowing Chinese submarine with multi billion ship may not be very bright as they can shoot those ship. Just get a very competent MALE & MPA aim you weapon from the air if you found them like the Japs had done is better solution. If they stay submerged then you can intrepid it as hostile intent and not just innocent passages.

MMEA meanwhile can get plenty of smallish boat if they don't blow their money on big ship. Their whole argument on their mothership is cost saving compared to a floating sea base. They probably wanted a MRCV just without the missiles. A floating base on which they launch boat & unmanned vehicle.


QUOTE
Also you really need to consider the law in these kinds of operations. Anything serious that involves malaysian navy ships against chinese coast guard would be considered a military aggression on our part. Which is why we need to use our coast guard and the provisions of Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency Act 2004 against their coast guard. Vietnam is playing this by the book. We should take notice on how vietnam is building up their forces against the chinese.
*
Only the Chinese would take the opportunity to see it that way. For the rest of the world Chinese coast guard & their maritime militia is a military organization.

The navy aiding the CG due to lack of resources is a convinience excuse even employed by Japan. You really think jaoan has not enough resources to build as much CG ship as they wanted?

The Chinese meanwhile are using white hulls & maritime militia as asymmetrical tools again the US & geng & We should be smart enough not to fall for those tricks. They afterall have huge capabilities to churn out ship beyond what we capable off. Didn't sun Tzu Said something about not playing into the enemies strength or something? That's exactly what you would get yourself into if you try to match the Chinese with numbers.

What we need is to play into our strength instead. and that is credible A2/AD capabilities and make the sea is swirming with foreign navies so they won't provoke an incidents in the first place. How many times has USN chase out Chinese coast guard out of our water again? infact it just easier to ask for their help in this case, we look innocent, the Chinese got their devil to warns their citizens about and US can play the hero world police. Everyone can go back home happy.

That person wrote the most detailed future development plan of any service of ATM.

Even if there are flaws in the plan, it would be a solid foundation to create a better one. And for a start is to get rid of all the OPVs in the plan.

Please tell me where explicitly in the white paper says the new batch of NGPV is to be a warship not a gunboat?

The LMS was from day 1 is supposed to me multi mission capable. Where in the white paper explicitly say new batch of LMS to have FFBNW missiles?

If you have opinions, own up to them. Nothing wrong to have opinions. Don't say that it is in the defence white paper or it is said by hishamuddin.

Seriously, how many more time do I need to repost this?

I even highlights it in the previous post.

Bagi operasi maritim di dalam kawasan teras, ATM akan mengaturgerak Kapal Misi Pesisir (Littoral Mission Ship, LMS) yang boleh menjalankan pelbagai misi termasuk SAR dan HADR, antikeganasan dan antipelanunan, pengumpulan risikan dan peninjauan, hidrografi
dan antiperiuk api.LMS adalah reka bentuk modular dan boleh dilengkapi dengan senjata dan sistem tambahan untuk memenuhi keperluan operasi masa hadapan.


* ATM juga merancang untuk memperoleh
Kenderaan Bawah Permukaan Autonomi (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, AUV) dan Kenderaan Pemusnah Periuk Api (Mine Disposal Vehicle, MDV) untuk menyokong operasi maritim di kawasan teras


Kawasan Lanjutan

*ATM perlu mencapai Kawalan Laut (Sea Control) di permukaan dan bawah permukaan melalui Penafian Laut (Sea Denial) dan Penegasan Laut (Sea Assertion). Justeru, ATM bergantung pada dua kelas kapal perang iaitu Kapal Tempur Pesisir (Littoral Combat Ship, LCS) dan Kapal Ronda Generasi Baru (New Generation Patrol Vessel, NGPV) yang mampu melaksanakan operasi di kawasan ini dengan jarak, ketahanan dan keupayaan yang diperlukan

*Sementara itu, NGPV sedia ada juga boleh dilengkapi dengan sistem
senjata tambahan jika diperlukan.


also when I say it's an opinion, i fully wrote it there as an opinion.
If someone read it wrongly and after giving proof that I say it's an opinion but he still insist I'm putting words in other people mouth, there's nothing I can do. Just like how someone read the white paper see the NGPC is a warship but then for the next 2 years pretend not to see it and keep on insisting it's an OPV.

No mention of FFBMW missiles on LMS. Only AUV and MDV.

As of now they are gunboats, and planmed future NGPVs will also be pure gunboats.

Now I'm not sure whether you are playing with nuance to win internet argument or just suck at understanding your own national language.

Sure sure, whatever floats your gunboat lah. All general Bodo Bodo punya. That's why they buy gunboats.

Oh wait. Where the official source that NGPC a gunboats again? As someone wisely said to me few minutes ago. If you have opinions, own up to them. Nothing wrong to have opinions. Don't say that it is in the defence white paper .🤣😂😆😊

I even praised the 15 to 5 plan, how that is saying the generals bodoh? So who started calling those people bodoh?

I can say that in my opinion that something that they did is wrong, but never called them bodoh.

Also the gunboat thingy is started by you. you say the NGPV is a warship not a gunboat.

I always call the NGPV as an OPV.

You see. At this moment I can either be a man and accept your explanation as it is because who care, it's an internet forum.

or I can be a literal dick who would keep on insisting for 2 or 3 or more Post (i think that certain someone do it for 8 or 10 post ) that what's you are claiming your opinion is you putting your own words as an official position. Then say everyone else can see what you wrote and you should be ashamed of yourself

Is it good that TLDM keeps buying expensive but lightly armed ships?

Should the government empower the MMEA to properly do its tasks to counter the Chinese Coast Guard?

How would you executive the plan to defend our EEZ?

Simple.

Pull all military man behind the territorial water and send in the coast guard to the Chinese.

Issue with malaysian defence planning, and also defence enthusiasts.

When we read USA doctrines, we then put ourselves in USA shoes.

Words like peer adversaries are thrown about.

It really clowds our view.

We cannot live in a delusion and talk about peer adversary as if we are a superpower. We are not. We are against a superior adversary. We are clearly an inferior force. We are a small weak country facing against a raising superpower economically and militarily.

Which is why we should look to counties such as Sweden, Finland or even Vietnam on how they plan on taking the fight to a superior force. We should learn more from Vietnam, as they are among a few small countries that has fought a superpower, and won.

That should always be in our mind. It is impossible for us to go head to head against a superior adversary like china. Forget about "extended envelope". Forget about "forward deployment". Can we do that in a fight against China? Impossible.

With our current strength, caring more about songlap that actual capability, yes clearly what we can do is to just retreat to our territorial waters when the shooting starts. No malaysian surface ship will survive an engagement with China. Even when operating with allies, plenty of surface ships will be sunk in a just the opening hours. A lot of scenario we can study, like the Falklands War where an inferior force (Argentina) went against a superior force (UK). Even then, against the Royal Navy the Argentinian fleet were tied up in the harbour, with only a lone submarine scaring the hell out of the britsh fleet.

Which is why for me TLDM should just concentrate on getting a few well armed frigates and try to get as many submarines and large UUVs as the budget allows. OPVs however heavily armed, are not going to be useful against a force with hypersonic anti ship missiles, stealth fighters, stealth bombers and stealth UAVs. The only thing survivable are the underwater assets.

Why I would prefer OPVs just run by MMEA, Cheaper, no missile pretensions. Just for operations other than war.

So our maritime domain defence needs to be prepared for 2 scenarios

1. day to day security

2. deterrence and operations in war.

In the event of a war, all our offshore stations will be hit by ballistic missiles. Any of our surface ships found offshore will be quickly hit by hypersonic anti ship missiles. Even our main bases will be hit. Only subs and large UUV already on patrol will survive to strike back at china.

That is what could happen when the shooting starts. But what if it doesn't go that far?

China keeps sending their coast guard to our waters. It is our MMEA duty to shadow and prevent them from harassing our oil and gas and fising activities. No shooting or misssile slinging will happen. What will happen is a lot of ramming and water cannon shooting. Our MMEA and TLDM must need to always be out there, to show that we do control the area. TLDM frigates must always scan the water for any chinese submarine activity, and with active sonars remind them that we know that they are there. If we don't go out there and china is always there instead, china can show that they have a de facto control of the area even if it is against international law. We cannot allow that, which is why we need to have more ships to be present enduringly in our EEZ.

No you can't.

You would never build enough CG ship fast enough or big enough to challenge the Chinese CG & maritime militia to a water canon & ship ramming fight. You re playing a game where Chinese get the upper hand.
That's is exactly what Philippines did before and they lose Access to plenty of reefs. Which is now being use to threaten the Philippines on a daily basis.

China is a super power but they are alone just like USSR of old. The whole point of NATO is to standardized equipment & strategies so smaller army can work together to defense against a larger foe. That's why most of their military look like a cookie cutter of one another which is what DWF suggest but you don't like it, preferring to be creative, asymmetrical or whatever that's limited your ability to not just work with western powers but also your own neighbors.

When you work with neighbors & friend, you do not need to acquired everything under the sun on day 1, but you don't wanna it, saying something about having sovereignty of equipment or something. Working with neighbors & other mean you have to be committed to at least acquired the equipment to help them and they aquire equipment that can help us. You meanwhile Don't want to do any of that, prefer to work alone thus you retreat behind Territorial water an area the Chinese never claimed. You can't help others, others won't help you. Exactly what the Chinese hope & wanted.

The whole let buy low quality in high quantities equipment is also playing into the advantage of Chinese. You have access to technological advantage but you throw it out the door and reach technology parities with the Chinese who at the same time has the numbers. Again you are not winning anything with this strategy.

So who actually is delusional? The DWP author or you?

Even though currently the Philippines Coast Guard has less ships than our MMEA, they are still out there protecting their EEZ.


Lets see what Indonesia is doing.

So is Indonesia delusional??

Just for 2022, Indonesian government has allocated 853 million dollars to beef up the security of Natuna islands, and 44% or about 375 million dollars allocated to buy equipment for Indonesian Coast Guard or BAKAMLA.

They are going to defend their EEZ from the chinese coast guard. Why can't we do the same?
What is wrong for malaysia to buy more Tun Fatimah OPV or even this Korean OPV?

user posted image

This huge 140m long, 4000 tonnes Korean Ship just cost about 40 million dollars, when the chinese LMS cost 61 million dollars. We can more than afford to buy these ships to fulfil the 18 OPV requirement of Malaysia.

I am suggesting a total of 12 Frigates by 2040, and a total of 12 submarine and large UUV combination.

Again per DFW.
3GPV is a kapal perang & 2LMS has at the very least FFBNW.

One do not keep harping over the original plans when they have updated their plans.

Would be great if we know what CG plans are. I been googling their masterplan but nothing comes up that's available in the public domain.

Lets just assume all the 70+m length RM250 million LMS is armed with anti ship missiles

Lets just assume all 90+m length RM500 million NGPV is armed with anti ship and air defence missiles.

18 LMS and 18 NGPV. 36 armed ships. Minus those already built, 14 more LMS and 12 more NGPV. A total spending of RM9.5 billion.

Do they need all those missiles against the Chinese coast guard?
No they don't.

What can they do with all those missiles aganst the Chinese Navy surface fleet, with aircraft carriers, super large destroyers and such?
Nothing much.

What can all those less than 25knots speed ship that are basically OPVs with missiles attached bring to a fight with the Chinese Navy? Can slow large ships do FAC hit and run missions?  Can it do something MMEA cannot do like track submarines? No they can't. So what is the purpose of these ships anyway? Why can't cheaper ships do the tasks of these expensive ships?

Exactly 80 years ago, HMS Repulse and HMS Prince of Wales was sunk in South China Sea off Kuantan. Now with ballistic and hypersonic anti ship missiles, with stealthy carrier based fighters that will fly in a few weeks time, can the LMS and NGPV bring the fight to the Chinese Navy? What did the DWP say about this?


you still harping over the original plan & BNS wet dream again
As per H20, they plans are 8 2LMS & 6 3GPV in the next 2 RMK.
It's easy to conclude that reduction in numbers of ship = increase the price per ship.



The Chinese aren't going to send their warship over if we have competent A2/AD just like western power don't sail along the Taiwan straits anymore.HMS repulse & POW sunk as the empire of Japan get a foothold in Indochina. It just there to show the flag, they all know it's toothless again full japanese aggression. Jaoanese occuption of indo china Allowing them to establish supplies lines that sinks those ship and the then the invasion of Malaya then afterwards the invasion of ID.

That's is why most country in silence agreed to US containment of china strategies. They do not want further southern expansion of PLA. You really think in an event of something happening, ID are going to wait beging territorial water and aren't going to forward deploy their FREMM & type 31 to prevent the war ever happens in their back yard?

MY alone would never be able to counter china. But MY work together with her neighbor backed by western powers would. Exactly what DWP want to do. MY can't do anything to Chinese long range missiles but western & japanese aegis destroyer could, MY can't treaten china directly but refueling and escorting US bombers would. MY is not a nuclear power like china but F35 are certified to carry someone's else nuclear bomb

Your strategies of everyone falls back behind Territorial water, priorities quantity over quality, priorities CG over navy, everyone don't cooperate and do their own shit, everyone wait in their territorial water waiting their turn to fight the Chinese one by one is the wettest wet dream the Chinese could ever hope for. Pecah & perintah at it finest. Instead what you want to do is to do the opposite of what they wanted. write a strategy that involves working with your neighbor & outsiders.

Vietnam is different. At the end of the day they are a communist dictatorialship country where they can't really count on western support, they also share a land borders with china and the Chinese had times & times again invade them. so it's logical for them to pull a sweeden. To acquired the asymmetrical ability to defend themselves by themselves but as the same time can work with others. If war ever started, it would start at Vietnam. China can't go straight away invade MY. If they did other people would cut their supplies line and the campaign is cut short.

If china want to invade us, then ID is next. So it's quite logical to you know. Fight a war in someone's else land. Rather than let them falls and wait for our turn then surrender when we are occupied and just let ID fight alone afterwards. So what we want is just a stereo typical cookie cutter highly deployable NATO Styles army that can do both offensive & defensive. Go forward to help Vietnam or go backwards to help ID.

ID likely would modernize their navy for forward deployment, but will keep a traditional Soviet asymmetrical TD because everyone know what the Chinese really after is Malacca, Sunda,Lombok & Makassar straits.

All we want is for the Chinese to look at all the layers and be discouraged by it. Not to go start a shooting contest.

QUOTE
I have written it before.

Probably you don't realise that even currently MMEA has a lot of boats in its fleet. But as you even just recently realise about the DWP, I would not be surprised that you have never heard about MMEA plans.

Let me cut and paste it back for you
Official MMEA plans for:
- 20 large OPV
- 96 medium patrol boats (NGPC, PZ class, Bahtera etc) something 25m to 70m in length
- 228 boats smaller than 20m (FICs, RHIBs etc)
*
That's a snippet of their plan summarize by reporters one can get from news report. Not the PDF version of their full plans itself.

I think we both can agree that RMN & CG plan are competing with one another and aren't really suplimenting one another. There nothing much of what CG roles is in National defense in the DWP. With the navy operating in the EEZ & beyond there's a glaring hole in the territorial water defense. We can only speculate that CG would fill in the shoe of a Brown water navy but there's no official statement.

If by news report then they going to get 3 mothership this RMK which sounds a lot like a missiless singkie MRCV able to carry 6 FIC and all kinds of drones.Then another 5 OPV & 8 NGPC. No words if the overall near term 14 NGPC is there to replace current RMN 14 FAC. Beyond boats they still short in the coastal radar, MSA & helo. Would be great if they given us the times line for acquisition

They can buy us a whole lot of deterrence if all 20 OPV, 96 FAC size craft & all 228 small boat are choosen & fitted correctly even if all it got are guns. Get a cb90 for their small boat for example.

Choosing the correct gun can makes all the difference. As you point out Their current gun are meh. mostly good enough for CIWS but not good enough for anything else. If missiles are flying then plenty of AAW Capable gun are a good thing to have. Then there's human capital development, if they wanted to play for defense they need regular training with ATM, other CG & navies as well.

Anti they manage succesfully to integrate a chonese cruise missle with Terma C series western made CMS. How about that?  People also can intergrate western CMS with chinese missle.

Boeing completes Super Hornet deliveries for Kuwait
by Gareth Jennings

Boeing has completed delivery of 28 F/A-18E/F Super Hornet combat aircraft for Kuwait, transferring them to the US Navy (USN) ahead of their eventual handover to the customer.

The manufacturer announced the event on 2 September, posting a video of single-seat aircraft 822 departing its St Louis production facility in Missouri.

With Kuwait's 22 single-seat F/A-18Es and six twin-seat F/A-18Fs being contracted in a government-to-government deal, they have all been handed over to USN ahead of their expected transfer to the Kuwait Air Force (KAF) in the coming months (a precise timeline has not been disclosed). As previously reported by Janes, this delivery milestone was delayed slightly due to the effect of the Covid-19 pandemic.

According to this guy, Tunisian had back down on the Kuwaiti hornet acquisition few days before. Is it true?

This is what your problem. Your assumption does not tally with what the real thing is.

I don't care about BNS ships. I don't even like them. The main thing is that from the requirements of TLDM themselves, they are expecting a 70+m ship with helipad and guns at RM250 milllion for the LMS batch 2, and 90+m OPV at RM500 million for the NGPV batch 2.

H2O statement does not contradict the DWP or even the 15to5 plan, unlike your assumption/conclusion.

As per H20, their plans are 8 LMS batch 2 & 6 NGPV batch 2 in the next 2 RMK. But DWP and 15to5 isn't a plan just until 2030 only. There are still ongoing plans to build 6 more LMS and 6 more NGPV from 2031-2040. Your assumption that the budget for 14 LMS and 12 NGPV now suddenly available for just 8 LMS and 6 NGPV is totally wrong. A budget meant for a plan spread over more than 20 years aren't suddenly going to be available in a short span of just 10 years. there will be no increase in the budget of the ships H2O talks about like your assumption
That is the problem of your assumption.

We cannot afford to build a competent  A2/AD just like western power. we are not a western power. we cannot fight a war head to head with china. we don't have the budget for it

Your assumption of budget for 12 NGPV available for just 6 NGPV to able to have missiles etc. is also not going to happen.

Indonesia is going to spend more than 850 million dollars in just 1 year to defend the Natuna Islands. Our development budget for TLDM is going to be about 4 billion dollars for 10 years, that is just an average of 400 million dollars each year. What can we buy with that budget? After buying expensive but lowly armed LMS and NGPV, what is left to buy real fighting ships? What kind of A2/AD frigates like what western powers have can our meagre budget buy and effectively field against the Chinese Navy that are fielding aircraft carriers with stealth fighter jets, destroyers the size of cruisers, ballistic anti ship missiles, hypersonic anti ship missiles, advanced UCAVs?

You know what is the irony of your suggestions?
According you it is impossible for MMEA to face with the chinese coast guard, which even Philippines and Indonesia is able to do. But TLDM by all means should face the might of the Chinese Navy head on with superpower A2/AD tactics.
Firstly, it was not my strategy as you say " of everyone falls back behind Territorial water ". So don't attribute that to me.

I would want a malaysian navy that is able to hit hard to an aggressor even as big as china. That I would like it to be with submarines, large UUVs, with support of TUDM SU-30MKM.

I would want a malaysian navy able to contribute to allied activities like UK, Australia and USA. I would like to see us contributing a very capable shallow water and near shore ASW capabilities (complementing open ocean ASW capability of allies), fleet replenishment support, SF with PASKAL.

Your assumption of TLDM buying RM1 billion ringgit per ship NGPV batch 2 is not ever going to happen. Our RMK12 and RMK13 budget is finite. NGPV batch 2 armed with just with 57mm guns as per TLDM requirements isn't going to be able to do anything to China, and it also aren't going to contribute much to the operation of our allies. Which is why I say we cannot waste money even on RM500 million OPVs, and use that to buy additional frigates and submarines instead.

Malaysia does not have, and not going to have air tankers that can refuel USAF bombers. No other countries tankers are cleared to refuel USAF strategic bombers.

So you are expecting malaysia to be able to carry and employ nuclear weapons? Do you know about ZOPFAN that malaysia champions? Do you know about SEANWFZ?
This is another issue about your train of thoughts. As i have said before
All you talk about, just relates to number 2.

It does not say anything about number 1.

Even if all MMEA got big guns, what can it do against Chinese Navy in a war scenario?
*
Everyone know that Chinese coast guard & their maritime militia are them doing their small stick diplomacy. They are not capable of projecting power yet but they wanted to do it now and so they send out lightly arms ship for low intensity conflicts for now.Make no mistake, once those navy ship are complete it would replace those CG & maritime militia for a proper power projection.

Using all our money to fund CG to fight their CG are just a anjing mengejar bayang bayang. We would never able to match them in numbers and as we do that, their actual navy would show up. Their CG are just a distraction. Why blow money chase a distraction while ignoring the big bad wolf over the horizons? Winter are coming so to speak, you care too much about the zombie horde but not the night king himself.

CG should acquired enough vessel to do their enforcement job first then think of how those vessel can contribute to national defense. Not go around building ship for the sole purpose of babysitting them Chinese. Those ship are useless once their navy comes.

Everyone know we don't have enough money. Why do you think US gifts us those radar in the first place? Play out card right and we could get patriot that they pull out of Saudi place here. Nothing wrong enlisting Jap & US aegis destroyer to pusing pusing around here. Again you are playing all by myself something that grant Chinese the advantage.

And you really expect your idea of cooperation in which you expect other to fight the Chinese on your behalf for your own EEZ while you wait by the shore line going to work? Which idiots going to do that?

And also acquiring nuclear delivery platforms like Sinki just did with f35A & escorting foreign operators who carry nuclear bomb like we did few days ago is NOT aqusition of nuclear weapons nor despite both being public knowledge not like any of our ZOFAN neighbors bangkang it.

Ps. I also noticed someone with the same name as you get pissed off at possible legacy hornet acquisition in another media platforms. What's wrong with getting 10 to 28 jet as interim solution until we can get F35?

Why exactly do you keep going back to strategies that always give them Chinese the upper hands again & again? After being told it's would play on Chinese strength and you are at a disadvantage, you keep insisting we do it again and again. Isn't all the asymmetrical warfare you like about is all about exploiting adversery weakness & avoiding their strength. And yet you are doing the complete opposite of playing into their strength, discarding your advantage nor take advantage of their weakness?



Again you go back to the original 1525 As usual.

How exactly is the Chinese LMS going to be renovated to fullfil all the requirements of LMS outline in the DWP? You yourself said it's impossible to install minesweeper in the CLMS. Why thrown away all the supposed contenders of 2LMS RFI? Why would people offered >1000 tons ship id what they wanted is a 700 tons ship. Why ignore all reports that 2LMS would cost RM500 mil? Why ignore the fact DWP called NGPC a kapal perang. Why ignore DWP calling 2LMS can be FFBNW weapon?

Why you always go Back to the original 1525 even after the DWP,RFI & so on? Seem you currently just pusing pusing to OG 1525 and ignore everything afterwards just to justified your own confirmation biases that RMN general are idiots for ordering gunboat even after the DWP mention it's not going to be a gunboats.

They are not ordering anymore gunboat. Just move on already.


This is the OG 1525

Fact.
* Navy usually has a fixed RM 7 billions ish budget every RMK
* There's no LMS for 2031-2040 period as you claim
* 8 LMS for 2026 - 2030 have all but disappear as per H20 statement.


If more LMS & NGPV going to be order beyond the current 2 RMK then it would be build using funding from those period. How exactly money from this RMK going to pay for ship 10 -20 years in the future?

At best you could only say the money from RMK14 going to supliment RMK13 acquisition of 6 3GPV. or they going to order 5 more NGPV in RMK14.


Anyway you the one who scared shit of Chinese missiles & complain about relative weakness of CG current gun. What wrong with getting plenty of big guns that can be put offshores to shoot stuff down from the air. protecting bases & escorting vessel is basically what USCG do when they join overseas war campaign.

A feasible plan must be just as big as how much $$$ that you can spend.

A plan that does not consider $$$ is just a dream or wish.
for example, as planned for RMK12

- 6 NGPV for RM3 billion or 714 million dollars.

The same amount of money can be used for

- 1 scorpene for 500 million dollars + 5 Korean 140m 4000 tonnes OPVs for 200 million dollars.

Prudent planning of spending can give us much more better overall defence capabilities. Planning things outside of our budget isn't.
*
Facts.
*There's no NGPC going to be ordered by RMK12
*.NGPC as per latest DWP is a warship not a gunboat.
*There's no price given for NGPV price, not even a reporter speculation, all he got is the numbers from BNS wetdream of selling gunboat for rm500 mil a pop.


Please write opinion as an opinion, because as someone said, please write opinions as opinion, because there's nothing wrong with having an opinion but please state it's an opinion 🤣

And your prudent planning is buying more gunboats? How is gunboats better than RMN actually plan for RMK12

Kapal Misi Pesisir (Littoral Mission Ship, LMS) yang boleh menjalankan pelbagai misi termasuk SAR dan HADR, antikeganasan dan antipelanunan, pengumpulan risikan dan peninjauan, hidrografi dan antiperiuk api. LMS adalah reka bentuk modular dan boleh dilengkapi dengan senjata dan sistem tambahan untuk memenuhi keperluan operasi masa hadapan


And more Scorpene, the subs who aquatic signature documents had been leaked in full glory?

It's really weird for bean counter like yourself to recommend Scorpene when German & it's Korean derivatives are half the price. Or the fact Scorpene has been leak is the reason you want it?

my typo mistake. I fully admit.

Actually 6 NGPV batch 2 in RMK13 2026-2030.

The NGPV batch 2 requirements does not ever mention missiles. None.

The only mention on armament is regarding the current NGPV batch 1 which is built from the start as FFBNW can be armed if needed

Also rather than slandering me, give me proof when did I did plan for gunboats for TLDM?

Obviously if we want additional subs, we should go for scorpenes so that all our submarine crew can be interchangeable for all submarines. I plan with the reality in mind, and the reality is just that, even if there are other cheaper subs. Submarines are specialised ships with specialised systems, unlike OPVs. We cannot afford to have to train for 2 different submarine types.

Currently scorpene are still one of the best conventional submarines out there. Which is why Philippines and Indonesia aspires to get them. Also why US Navy is training with scorpenes.

https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/41387...rs-in-san-diego
on the scorpene leak. it is just a user manual. how to use the scorpenes. no technical details of acoustic performance of the submarine is there. Its like a manual how to use your handphone.

https://newsable.asianetnews.com/india/new-...e-documents-out
If you know how a submarine functions, it does not usually use active sonar to search for targets. If you use active sonar, then everyone will know that you are there, leaked documents or not. So even knowing detail about the submarine active sonars it does not compromise the stealthiness of the submarine itself.
For a person who misunderstood lots of things, still want to prove me wrong or my ideas are absurd?

This coming from a person who suggests destroyers for TLDM.
*
Scorpene are due to retirement under the OG 1525 during 2030s. After 20 years of service. Even if it didn't, at most you can only squeeze out 10 more years out of it . There's no point buying it for the sake of commonalities. There's no saving whatsoever. Surely you know that already.

Still pusing pusing lagi? DWP called 3GPV a kapal perang and put it in the same categories as LCS. You failure to understood your own national language is not my fault. You deny what terang terang written in DWP to satisfied your own cognitive biases that ATM is stupid is also not my fault.

Slander? U basically write there let's go buy Korean OPV.

QUOTE(alexz23 @ Oct 3 2021, 02:29 AM)
okay you know about this fact right?

so how can this fact obtain the ships that you wanted? How can TLDM be the things you say with this budget?

lay it out for me.

for RMK12 + RMK13. 2021-2030. RM14 billion total budget.

Make me say yes this plan is good. Better than DWP. Better than H2O.
*
Why you so special kah? I need to convince you so far that RMN is not bunch of retards. You want to believe and thus twisted everything to justified your own biases that RMN is retard is not my problem.

You could do the simple math yourself.
RMK12
At least 7 billion to Complete the 6 LCS + 8 2LMS

RMK13
At least 7 billions to build 2 MRSS + 6 3GPV.


So far it's doesn't matter to you how DWP describe the 2lms nor the DWP called 3GPV a kapal perang. You keep coming back to its being a gunboat and go on a full rant on how stupid RMN is. Then you keep on claiming your gunboat is in the DWP. Then you go on a pusing of how budget from RMK12 going to pay for boat in RMK14. Seriously how far down the retard hole do you want to dig yourself into?

Anyway you want to continue your cognitive biases that RMN is bunch of retard you punya suka lah. Am not in RMN anyway. And please continue writing your fantasy acquisition of useless stuff that results in china winning every single time then called ATM stupid whenever they acquired useful stuff which make china winning harder.

https://www.google.com/amp/knoema.com/atlas...-GDP%3fmode=amp

If not mistaken we would spend 1.5% of GDP next year.

ID usually spend 0.7% of GDP & SG spend 3% of GDP thus their defense budget is 300% of us. If everything goes to plan. We Would be a $500 billions economy by 2026. Trillion dollar economy by 2030.

As for ID, Their army is quite immovable and thus kinda high personel count. That's why despite paying the same $$$ as SG annually, their equipment is a whole lot less than SG.

So that's $9 billion is not the reason they can afford those shiny new stuff.If not mistaken ID plans to acquired most of those shiny new things through debt. And those debt would only happened if Probowo won next presidential election. Thought unlike us they with high growth potential and relatively low debt can afford debt. We couldn't.

Another thing to consider is not just about how much money we have but also why we spend the money in the first place.

By 2030s, ID GDP would be around $3.7 trillion & would also be the 5th largest economy in the world San 2050s. Thus explain their regional power ambitious. Basically it's all about TOT for now. Anyone willing to sell the secret to built a full weapon get the jobs. If china sells them the secret the would buy Chinese missiles. Thought the irony is the Chinese sell missiles tech to ID who intent to shoot those missiles back at the Chinese.

What they want Building the foundation for their eventual place of abang besar in these neck of the woods.


Sinki Mostly use defense purchase to upgrade their human resources competency. Too much tech cramps in their ship & APC with big fat multifinger touchscreen without fallback button. that may or may not work outside of peacetime operation. Thought they won't take any kind of risk for their AF. Just like sweeden don't take risk for the army since it's the backbone of their defense strategy. They both would experiments with the other 2 sister service to advance industrial interest at cost of defense.

As for us, the backbone for our security used to be TD. the gov spare no expenses nor play around much with TD acquisition. we really f*** u* the AF & navy acquisition back then. But as threats perception change & AF & navy being the Frontliner, we kinda stumbled far too often trying to strengthen them too.

officially what we want is to be part of the international supply chain,(thought outside the strategy papers & airplane parts, nothing so far indicate that what we actually doing) If not mistaken from now on new military purchase would require 40% local components

Good news is as we want to enter the global supplies chain for military industrial complex, US want to decentralized production, supplies chain & maintenance facilities to facilitate the eventual cold war they have in mind. Aussie & Canada really industrialized hard during the decentralization phase during the world & cold war, making planes,jet & ship. Aussie lost most of it as US centralized back but Canada do acquired & retain some competency like building plane & trains.

US is also the source of high value added FDI, and preferential access to their market is what we desire most to solve our middle income trap crisis.

US is giving us what they had offered EU, Japan, Taiwan & Korea before. not just protection but also wealth. It's basically the recreation of the old Brits empirical trading block. Just like how Aussie, kiwis, indian, ceylonese fight for defense of Malaya back then. We too now need to fight for other if we wanted to join the blocks. The block that guranteed us wealth. And the need to fight with others for others is what dictated our acquisition strategy.

Who is the one who pusing?

I fully understand the KPP in Malay. If you cannot understand malay properly, I will also post the official english version of the KPP, of the paragraph that you quoted.

English version
Malay version
ATM needs to achieve Sea Control (mencapai Kawalan Laut) with 2 ways, 1. sea denial (penafian laut) and 2. sea assertion (penegasan laut).

To achieve that, it will depend on
1. LCS - for sea denial

2. NGPV for sea assertion

LCS - the new LCS to have helicopters and enhanced Anti-Air Warfare (AAW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW) and Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW) capabilities. The new LCS will replace the older classes of frigates and corvettes in stages.

NGPV - no explicit mention of future NGPV capabilities. Only mention that the existing, current NGPV can be retrofitted with additional weapon systems if required (NGPV sedia ada juga boleh dilengkapi dengan sistem senjata
tambahan jika diperlukan).
Existing NGPV means the current 6 ships of the KEDAH class, which is built from the start with FFBNW provisions.

Plenty of other publications has written about TLDM requirements for NGPV Batch 2 and 3.

From JANES
From malaysian defence
Our current scorpenes will still have at least 20 more years of service left. If that is the case, the earliest out of service date would be around 2039-2041. I suggest to buy a 3rd scorpene in 2026-2030. That would entail around 15 years of service alongside the current scorpene submarines. Plus 3 more submarines and 6 large UUVs from 2031 onwards.
I am not the one who does not understand the DWP. Read my explanation above.

My point is, if TLDM wants a 120+ million dollars NGPV as per their requirements, it is better to actually buy 40 million dollars 140m 4000 tonnes OPV from Korea for MMEA instead. Money saved not buying 120+ million dollars NGPV could better used to buy TLDM proper fully armed Frigates and Submarines instead.

Also when did I even say budget from RMK12 going to pay for boat in RMK14???
