Probably going to named either after a big island or national hero

Shouldn't we be developing our naval air defense capability since thats our most lacking aspect and we also need to defend against those anti-ship missiles?

there's no such thing as 'FIR protocol' as far as i know, flight information services only give out automated info/announcement relating to the weather, possible hazards to mostly civil aircraft like airliners flying in that FIR region, theres not really much protocol or procedure needed to be...

Sorry didn't know

Because Singapore has the busiest, largest and most capable airport in that region and is also the one that has the most flights operating in and out of it? Flight Information Region has little to do with sovereignty, it's really just a specified region that receives the same flight information...

I still think the Super Tucano is needed at least for a few years to come as long as it has guided munitions like GBU's and Paveway. It's probably the cheapest platform for COIN ops and could probably loiter longer and get to places a bit faster than the Army helos. But yea nothing beats the...

In my opinion, when it comes to jets, I think our only choice would be either to go American or Russian. Best choice in my opinion is either go with either the F-15 which has very high commonality with the F-16 since they can run on the same engine and have similar armaments set or F/A-18E/F...

I was more worried about budget rather than US approval, I don't really have doubts about whether the US would sell us stuff, its just whether the money is going to be there is what I'm more worried about Best to just ignore them, I've faced a few on social media and a couple of times in real...

After I thought about it, actually make sense, since we're a maritime country most aerial threats are probably going to fly over the sea, so as long the AAW Frigates have long range SAM's like Aster-30 or SM-2's (which I still have doubts they will get) they can be the first layer of defense...

https://www.strategypage.com/htmw/htada/articles/20130618.aspx I read here that the PAC-3's are only able to engage missiles and have shorter range at 35 km. Shouldn't we get PAC-2's as well since that has range of 160 km and its also made to engage aircraft and some missiles? it's also cheaper...

I don't know much about the Patriot yet, but isn't the PAC-3 specifically made to go against ballistic missiles and can it be used against aircraft as well? most of the other Patriot operators I see operate a mix of PAC-2 and PAC-3 and I thought maybe the PAC-2 is for aircraft and PAC-3 for...

Yea I've seen this photo before, but even Malaysian members told me they were photoshopped, I'm not sure myself though

Can Hawk really carry Harpoons? I thought its too heavy for the Hawks and yea I don't know why Air Force lacks Maritime Strike capability other than the Kh-31A's either, but I think we should try and invest in newer air-launched AShM, I think AShM like Exocet and Harpoons are going to be...

Yea I prefer SM-2 if possible especially if it turns out to be cheaper, but the only thing that I keep wondering is US approval, but I think that might not be a problem in the future This is also one of the things I worry about the Su-35, if the PLA is really our biggest potential adversary...

Welcome back, was about to tell a friend to notify you, but I don't think I need to do that anymore Is it possible for us to get the air-launched JSM for the AU as well and are our current F-16 MLU's able to carry those if it happens? I always think there's a lack of maritime strike...

Thank you, I'll try and notify him

I think its 2x24 VL for 1 ship, so each ship gets 48x total

is it possible to get SM-2 as well though? they're probably going for VL MICA since all the other surface combatants use them? But the Mk 41 VLS on the list still confuses me though, unless they're actually compatible all along and we don't know it

Me neither, I just hope it won't stop at VL MICA, hoping we can upgrade afterwards even after we commission the ships

I forgot where I got this from, but this might be it, I really hope its not going to stop at this Also I'm confused, if you can see on the top it says Mk 41? Is Mk 41 even compatible with VL MICA, I still question this photo I got tbh
