gotta love the speculation, guesswork and crystal ball gazing going on around here by "experts"........

I doubt RSAF.....

Rsaf f-15sg will likely remain.....

I suspect late 2020s.....

What one can expect.....

likely by 2025-26........

FPDA is limited. UK is a failed state. Like in ww2, any deployment will be too little, too late. New zealand doesn't have an air force. Malaysia has limited resources.

Real FPDA backbone has always been Sinkie & Oz but focus on peninsular Malaysia has been only oz after sinkie was banned from rakyat airspace.

yeah well
Mai189 is well-known for his... unique perspective
what fantasy land are you living in LMAO
for the past 12 months UK has been proving just what kind of power they can still wield without even getting into combat

yeah well

Ignore capacity of anyone else in the region, is a waste. Vietnam forms bulkwark against land incursion. Indon, Filipinos has stakes in SCS. Thailand secures Malaysia's northern borders. Even Brunei can contribute.

Some leaders have foresight to purchase equipment that ease inter-operability. Indon, Thai F-16s can inter-operate. So will Indon Rafales in the future.

Even Sukhois are being integrated eg Pitch Black but a lot more can be done.

Other regions are banding together as a consequence of the shift from globalisation to a multi-polar world. Leaders within ASEAN already doing that but external forces are trying to exploit internal fissures. ASEAN unlikely to ever reach a state where everyone sings kumbaya together but there are still substantial things that can be done to improve security in this region.

The first is to start with mindsets where people stop seeing each other within ASEAN as a threat rather than a plus to regional security.

A leaner crew aided by automation technologies will man the MRCVs. These innovations will translate into operational cost savings of up to 10 per cent, compared to similar-sized frigates. The first of these will be delivered around 2025, and full delivery is expected by 2030.

The four MSRVs are refurbished vessels, but from 2026, the flotilla will operate new purpose-built vessels, the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF) said in a release on Tuesday. These vessels are expected to be larger and can operate at sea for longer periods than the Sentinel-class MSRVs.

I am a realist who likes connecting dots. Fun! You think the defence establishments tasked to do this in the countries concerned arent doing the same.

sweaty, you're no Kor Risik
real intel officers know better than to simply take photo ops serial numbers at face value

Taking pot shots again. That is why your views are often twisted.

And... bringing up an old issue I see..

You like to take pot shots when it suits you often with zero context. How one country manages its serial numbers may not be the same as how another does it. Minimally, I put related sources for reference for you to make up your own minds.

Ive said it before. Your emotions are getting the better of you. So grow up!

UK power in Ukraine? Lol. What power? All murican in Ukraine.

It's not a pot shot, it's a valid criticism of your method. You want to believe that SAF is squeaky honest about this, that's your business. Regarding your other, better-referenced conclusions, I have not commented negatively

If I want to take "pot shots", I have better shit to throw at you, personally, but I don't see the point in explicitly calling out people

So, YOU back the fuck off, and let's keep this nice and détente.

dunno means dunno

Oh really! This was done and over it. And here you are resuscitating it again. You! And what is this? Threats? Grow up!

No one is asking you to pour your emotions all over the forum if you choose to disagree. It is your business to disagree or not. Or anyone for that matter. But if you choose to whine about it and take pot shots out of now where then get shit on your face - as Ive said it before.

Ive been very polite with you but I do not take back stabs too kindly. What detente? Grow up!

Snarky!

Ooo, somebody got triggered hard eh? Look back at the previous page and tell me who's being emotional here.

Anyway, I leave you be. As I said, I have no beef with you, if you want to make an issue out of it, itu hal kamu.
Always

I don't explain shit to people who don't know how to tag
