    I am nursing a bad toothache, regular service will come on later...

  • RMAF is keen on the Rafale now. Typhoon performance cant match the Rafale. Rafale is cheaper too.

    On Rafale being cheaper than Typhoon, can you point us to the right direction?

  • Sir,why not for a change u look into equipment of MAF,and compare it with other armed forces,so that changes can be done,example ballistic jacket,webbing,camo uniform,boots,food rations.these are small things that will boost the moral of each individual soldier,if ever they were send to overseas operations.

    Its no used comparing to others, when for example body armour are only used on case by case basis. Those who go for UN missions get better personal equipment than those for example deployed for Ops Pasir. It is better for us to go into such issues rather than comparing with other armed forces. And when comparing which armed forces then? We cannot compare with NATO forces, nor even the Singaporeans!

  • nice, but somehow i do agree with Tajul

    I don't have any sway over what's happening at Jalan Padang Tembak . I assumed I know a thing or two but sometimes even those are misconceptions.

  • Based on the Indian bid between those 2 fighters, Rafale is cheaper than Typhoon, according to some sites in the net. At least 5% less.

  • We should really get more used military hardware from europe..with state of their financial system..i bet most of them will having garage sales for their navies and air force.

    Royal Navy will eventually be reduced to a mere 30 combatant ships.

  • I am more of the believe that RMN should be left with only 18 combatant-being 6 multipurpose frigates, 6 Corvettes and 6 subs. let all the patrol being left to MMEA. Just my believe anyway.

    Well if talk about cheap purchase for aircraft, its hard to beat the SU 30/35, about 60-70% of rafale,typhoon or SH but the maintenance cost gonna double la kut

    Your plan will mean that RMN should have 1 3 star, 1 2 star, 1 1 star and the rest as Captains only.
    Yes, we should have 100 MKMs on the record. At 50 % reliability, we have 50 planes ready to fly...

  • sir,i read tempur magazine,and it sound convincing that RMAF is buying gripen NG,because of the Awacs n Mpa that comes with it,mcm mana pls explain

  • enchik kamal,for what i know lah,to patrol the whole of malaysia je,NGPV u nak kena ada 27 to 28 biji,1 sqd in selat melaka,laut cina selatan,sabah n serawak waters,tu blum termasuk support ship eg,MPSS 4 biji,refueling ship,frigate n corvette,lain pulak 4 biji sub for clandestine work n sigint work.just my thought je
