LIMA to return with bigger show next May, says Hishammuddin



The Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition (LlMA) will be organised next year from May 23 to 27 in Pulau Langkawi, Kedah after it was cancelled in 2021 due to the Covid-19 outbreak.

Senior Minister of Defence Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Hussein said LIMA ‘23 would be held following the success of the 2022 Asian Defence Services Exhibition (DSA) and 2022 Asia National Security Exhibition (NATSEC) in March and the readiness of Malaysia after the transition to endemic phase.

To date, he said 600 exhibitors from 20 countries would be participating in LIMA ‘23 which was expected to receive 45,000 trade visitors and 380 foreign guests.

According to Hishammuddin, the LIMA ‘23 exhibition would involve 110 assets each in air and maritime fields.

“The number of exhibitors, countries involved, trade and public visitors, guests and assets are expected to go up which will make it the biggest participation ever recorded,” he said.

He was speaking at a media conference after launching LIMA ‘23 Exhibition Pre-Launch Ceremony at the Ministry of Defence Auditorium here today.

Also present were Minister of Transport Datuk Seri Wee Ka Siong; Malaysian Armed Forces chief Gen Tan Sri Affendi Buang; Army chief Gen Tan Sri Zamrose Mohd Zain; Royal Malaysian Navy chief Admiral Tan Sri Mohd Reza Mohd Sany and Royal Malaysian Air Force chief Gen Tan Sri Mohd Asghar Khan Goriman Khan.

Hishammuddin said, to ensure the smooth organisation of LIMA ‘23, the event would be coordinated jointly by the Ministry of Defence and the Ministry of Transport.

Meanwhile, he said that Alpine Integrated Solution Sdn Bhd had been appointed as joint organiser of the biennial event.

Commenting further, he said the LIMA ‘23 exhibition would be the best platform for defence industry companies worldwide especially aerospace and maritime to return to after not being able to do so for a long time due to Covid-19 and the postponement of LIMA ‘21.

“This can directly open up more opportunities in the effort to connect and promote strategic cooperation between local defence industry companies with their international counterparts.

“This is in line with the aim of the National Defence Industry Policy which is still being formulated,” he said.

Hishammuddin said several innovations would be witnessed at LIMA ‘23 including introducing the drone exhibition and drone race segment, space technology segment, airline chief executive officer forum, a programme for teenagers including education and career-related, e-games and a women’s segment in defence.

“On top of that, there is also a cyber security programme in the aviation and maritime industries and, of course, the exhibition of assets as well as the best air show in history.

“Together with Wee, I will ensure every aspect of preparation is scrutinised so that its impact can be felt during the actual organisation later,” he added. — Bernama

french CAESAR 155mm Self Propelled Howitzer in action in Ukraine

- too bad it not the brand new fully automated ammunition loading system variant.

Crazy man, Russia reportedly firing up to 50,000 shells a day at Ukrainian army positions.

KRI Halasan (630) has been armed with 57mm Mk3 and two Exocet MM40 Block III

First of nine Shaldag Mk V Fast Patrol Boats for Philippines Navy is spotted in Israel, can be armed with Spike ER

That is probably a right ballpark for an army that has at least 20-30 batteries of artillery pieces actively firing.


The problem is the return fire by Ukraine is pitiful when compared to what the Russian can deploy

SOS

Ukraine are just shooting 5000-6000 artillery shells every day. That is just about 10% of what the Russians are shooting at them.

What about us, malaysia? How deep is our 155mm shell ammo reserves? How many days could we sustain?

For now, we have enough G5 155mm Howitzers to deploy up to 4 batteries of 6 Howitzers each.

The G5 has a rate of fire of 3 shells per minute.

Lets say that because of needing to shoot and scoot, etc. every day only a maximum of 60 minutes of firing can be achieved for each howitzer.

So for all 4 batteries to shoot for 60 minutes each day, the ammo needed :

6 Howitzers x 4 batteries x 3 shells per minute x 60 minutes = that is 4,320 155mm artillery shells per day.

To sustain an operational tempo for a week, 30,240 shells are needed.

dunno why the navy need training sail ship

SG upgrades Bionix 1 IFV to Bionix 1+ standard.

With new muzzle brake on the 25mm autocannon, improved fire control with laser range finder and BMS

It's to nurture traditional seamanship culture...officers who had handled ropes and sails in long sea voyages....may think and behave differently than those who only know how to press buttons.

always kinda sus at these numbers

first they said russia has shitty logistics and battle plan. suddenly russia has capability to supply >50,000 shells per day to their forward arty post?

PAF Eyes Buying More FA-50 Aircraft
https://www.pna.gov.ph/articles/1176606

Back in March didn't they predict Russia will run out of ammunition and manpower in 10 days?

AS IF SOME PEOPLE LIED

Good, logical call from the PAF, rather than getting a new type (Gripen C) that is much more expensive but with only a small performance advantage over the FA-50 Block 20.

They're firing from within friendly territory now, not occupied territory being constantly harassed by enemy forces

That also, the 50,000 figure is probably a 1 day surge effort

But it sure makes good copy for retards like WaPo

Who is "they"?
Many people from ktard to analysts also predicted Kyiv would fall in anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks

AS IF SOME PEOPLE LIED

They are already depleting their manpower resources, and now accepting old volunteers into the army.

But as a country they have massive ammunition reserves, stretching back to WW2. Even that, we can see that they have depleted many precision strike weapons. For example there has not been many Iskander Tactical ballistic missile launches for weeks now, most probably they have fired so many and now reserving the few remaining. As is the use of anti-ship missiles now to attack ground targets.

The longer Russia is stuck in Ukraine, the weaker its army will become. If they cannot wrap up the war in a year's time, they probably will not be able to repeat what it did to Ukraine to any other European countries, especially to Poland and Finland.

Hey..this thread is still here!

Edit: ok new one.
