FPDA nations that use P8 Poseidons - UK, Australia, New Zealand and Singapore

Will never detect Malaysia's invisible warships.

time for us to buy Singapore phase out air craft.
This aircraft is not meant for us. We no longer their worries. It's meant for CCP.

Sg buys mlitary equipment in batches. They will probably add more P8s as they introduce it to their operations.

so huge budget they have.
meanwhile malaysia ????

i'm sure they can afford alot higher raw water price.

Msia has the smaller p72 mp:



2 bought so far.

even detected, cannot lock on,
too dry to lock Poseidon.

hahaha

AI Overview

No, it is very difficult for submarines to effectively hide in the Strait of Malacca due to its shallow depth and heavy maritime traffic. While submarines are designed to be stealthy, the strait's depths, averaging under 50 meters, make submerged operation extremely hazardous and easily detectable. Therefore, submarines traversing this strategic waterway typically do so on the surface, making them readily visible to surface shipping.

haiya donald duck pressure la,
sg is their POI base ma.

is ok,
winnie the pooh nvr visited them despite being develop country, and sg run to see abang besar in mainland to get business by kowtowing.

orang langsung tak pandang pun.

Sg already pick their side. If WW3 they have to against CCP. We just seat back and eat pop corn. Hopefully WW3 no need play nuclear bomb.

F-35 next year

They can hunt forever but still won't find Malaysia unsinkable submarine beneath the sea

Then sinkie buy mau detect siapa punya submarine?

Bet, find our submarine then.

south china sea is deep.

Johor how?

You jealous of Johor

The F35s are replacing the F16Vs and some of the old F5 S/Ts.

It will be a streched buy in batches till early 2030s.

Likely 80 to 100 F35s by the time they r done.

can use this to find MH370? so advanced right?

In 2017, NZ bought 4 for US$1.46 billion.
https://media.defense.gov/2024/Dec/12/20036...ALAND_17-13.PDF

Germany bought 5 for US$1.77 billion in 2021.

sinkie never operated more than 5 MPA at any time. Not likely to have 2nd batch.

NZ - 4, AUS - 12, UK - 9.

still think its overkill for sinkie size. 9 crew is a lot for small sinkie population.

Trump impact on decision cannot be underestimated.

Mau detect Caina submarine

'most advanced' according to the US
meanwhile last time a whole carrier battle group can't even detect a CCP submarine kek

jgn persoal, AMDK said it was intentional

I will not be surprised if it happens. They are already getting six 8800 - 10000 ton heavy frigates/destroyers.

last time got many amdk argue that US navy that time only got old sonar now new and modern
talk macam like the then CCP sub got 2025 tech kek

Malaysia is smart... ask them buy.. then sendiri tak payah beli

i read before in some article by an ex US navy general or something ranting abt US Navy's ASW capabilities, he said in actuality US never cared nor focused on ASW so while on paper all their ASW gear looks impressive and stuff, but none of them performed well during training exercises against fellow NATO subs

he mentioned that few years ago there was an ASW training exercise where the US carrier fleet and escorts are tasked to detect, track and defeat the opponent's sub. suffice to say the US carrier fleet failed badly and apparently the Norwegians who were tasked as the opponents, snuck in undetected and "sunk" the carrier unopposed

🇸🇬SAF Submarine Sigthing Report
🇨🇳Detected: 70

Kekwa

Maybe scared mysia claim back the land or prepare for new settler in neighboring country

Note Sg has said that this is phase one.




https://breakingdefense.com/2025/09/singapo...atrol-aircraft/

Tho Sg has not revealed what is phase 2. I suspect long range UAVs, USVs, more Seahawks and one or two more Poseidons (based overseas for training - to be recalled during tensions ).

It is actually a good thing, to buy the P8 and other US made drones, better than getting tariffs..

since with tariffs, our exports suffer and we get nothing back in return.


The most important thing, is as our highest authorities in the Military said, no hanky panky middle man, and directly goverment negotiate and buy properly, without kick backs to anyone.

Defense spending need to be more than 100% vested as it is for all of Malaysia.

Their operator will suffer hearing so much racist remark at work.

Is good for them actually
