Came across this:

https://people.defensenews.com/top-100/

Newer Chinese companies are featured in the top 50.

It is difficult for non western companies to break the dominance of western companies in terms of arms sales.

So far, the most successful is South korea followed by a bunch of countries from east asia and middle east e.g. Singapore, UAE, etc.

most defense co are for local markets. If one list based on export defense, list will be substantially different.

Thats true. A constraining factor to many defence companies i.e. they need to prioritise national interests first.

Patrol Craft (PC) Ex-SUNDANG Selesai Refit
https://defense-studies.blogspot.com/2023/1...esai-refit.html

QUOTE
KUALA TERENGGANU - Panglima Logistik Barat, Laksamana Pertama Ts. Shaiful Bahri bin Baharuddin telah menyempurnakan majlis penerimaan PC Ex-SUNDANG yang selesai menjalani refit di Pulau Kambing, hari ini.

Dalam tempoh terdekat, sebuah lagi PC iaitu Ex-PANAH juga akan diterima.  Melalui inisiatif pindah-milik dan pelaksanaan refit ini, kedua-dua PC telah diberi nafas baharu di mana pendekatan “total make-over” telah berjaya mengubah landskap dan keupayaan kapal. Maklumat tambahan berkaitan program ini adalah seperti di pautan berikut:   

Memindah milik dan mengaktifkan semula kedua-dua PC adalah pendekatan filling the gap.  Semoga PC tersebut  berupaya meneruskan khidmat bakti kepada TLDM dengan flying colours, secara berkesan dan efektif.  Sekalung tahniah kepada semua pihak yang terlibat dengan inisiatif ini.


Sipandan class patrol vessel. KM Segantang (ex-sundang pennant 3133) was one of 15 transferred to MMEA from 2006. Now refitted. Ex-Panah should be KM Kukup (pennant 3135).

SG's Exercise Panzer Strike 2023 in Germany.

SG's Hunter AFVs are equipped with at least 2 Spike LR 2 5th generation missiles - more can be carried internally but I am not sure if the launchers have an auto-loading capability.

Indonesian air force receives new Falcon 8X for VIP missions

By Greg Waldron 9 November 2023

The Indonesian air force has taken delivery of a single Dassault Aviation Falcon 8X business jet, which will be used for the VIP transport role.

The aircraft (A-0801) was handed over to the country’s air force chief during a ceremony at Jakarta’s Halim airport on 9 November, according to Indonesia’s defence ministry.

Indonesia’s new Falcon 8X was presented at Jakarta’s Halim airport on 9 November

The aircraft will be used to “support leadership tasks”, with the ministry noting the three-engined jet’s ability to operate from short runways.

Prior to the arrival of the new Falcon 8X, the air force has been operating a Falcon 7X and 8X on an “interim basis” since December 2022.

Indonesia’s air force is undergoing significant updates, most notably through a commitment in February 2022 for 42 Dassault Rafale fighters; to date, 24 units are covered by firm orders.

Jakarta also has a memorandum of understanding with Boeing for the possible acquisition of 24 F-15EX fighters.

In addition, the country has orders for two Airbus Defence & Space A400M tactical transports and is in the process of receiving five new Lockheed Martin C-130Js.

Italian G550 CAEW Airborne early warning and control (AEW & C) aircrafts (or what we like to call AWACS) have been flying sorties from Romania (likely under NATO's ambit) to monitor the skies over Ukraine from long distances.

QUOTE
The EL/W-2085 was developed from the single-band EL/M-2075 "Phalcon" system.

Instead of using a rotodome, a moving radar found on some AEW&C aircraft, the EL/W-2085 uses an active electronically scanned array (AESA) – an active phased array radar. This radar consists of an array of transmit/receive (T/R) modules that allow a beam to be electronically steered, making a physically rotating rotodome unnecessary. AESA radars operate on a pseudorandom set of frequencies and also have very short scanning rates, which makes them difficult to detect and jam. Up to 1000 targets can be tracked simultaneously to a range of 243 nmi (450 km), while at the same time, multitudes of air-to-air interceptions or air-to-surface (includes maritime) attacks can be guided simultaneously. The radar equipment of the Israeli CAEW consists of each one L-band radar left and right sides on the fuselage and each one S-band antenna in nose and tail. The phased array allows positions of aircraft on operator screens to be updated every 2–4 seconds, rather than every 10 seconds as is the case on the rotodome AWACS.[


From wiki^



^Singapore's G550 CAEW AEW & C or "AWACs" . It is believed that Sg has one flying 24/7, usually escorted by F15s or F16s and soon, F35s.



ItalianG550 CAEW AEW & Cs, Air tankers and F35s visited Singapore recently this year. Imagine them with RSAF roundels as SG has the same kind of planes - akan datang from 2026 (first F35s arriving).

Also note: Open-source info suggests that the radar range of the G550 CAEW AEW & C aircraft is in fact further than 450km:

648.2 km.
