I say french should be favorite since their jaguar platforms can be SPH, simbas replacement and even scorpion replacement (if TD wants one)
Don't mind Hyundai rotem but please no manwha please 🥺
Read somewhere that current clvalry is filled with Adnan & gembita while armor use condors and pendekar.
So replace the Adnan with 6x6 to create a proper calvary then transfer those Adnan to armor to create a proper armour regiment?
Maybe they wanted it just to be compatible with other nato allied army and get themselves some Expeditory capabilities?
Kalau kirakan Adnan dan Condor ada batasan dalam operasi masing2, they are not to replace each other but rather compliment one and another

actually gempita number in Cavalry is much more than sibmas.
Gempita is in 3 cavalry regiment, with only 1 in mechanised infantry battalion.
Gempita in cavalry regiment 1KAD, 2KAD and 3 KAD with gempita + condor. Gempita variants in KAD : 78 AFV30, 54 LCT30 and 24 SURV VINGTAQS.
so what was condor's original mission in cavalry regiments? what is the ideal replacement for those missions? Do we need to replace 4x4 condors with 6x6 IFVs?
you need to have better reading materials as your understanding of malaysian armored vehicles is bad.
there are zero adnans in cavalry regiments.
most adnans and KIFVs is in mechanised infantry battalions, with some in 11KAD with our tanks and some with para armor squadron replacing the scorpions.
Again we are not Nato or usa. We dont need expeditionary or even marine corps capabilities. We are just defending our own territory.
I do acknowledge my knowledge on army is lacking, as I am not from this service
But remember, there is still gap of role left when sibmas was retired from the service
The first Gempita procurement of 257 unit was suppose to be the first batch, since then there is no news of 2nd batch whatsoever
so the 257 will need to filled the original 640+ original left by the phasing out of Condor and Sibmas
with 5th division reopened will 257 be enough?

I am also of the opinion that we dont need expensive and heavy MRAP like the MILDEF Tarantula.
Why is it so heavy (14 ton, same as Adnan) when it has exactly the same armor performance as the Condor (resistant for 7.62 AP)? Other MRAP has better armor capabilities.
How many millions of dollars will these Tarantula cost?
I actually ask my colleague the same question since there already Lipan Bara in the service, but KS reps told that they did not just looking for domestic market only
so good luck!
