HORNET KUWAIT BUKAN KERANDA TERBANG.

Nampaknya ramai gunakan alasan titah YDPA untuk tidak menyokong pembelian Hornet Kuwait oleh TUDM. Sbb guna ayat titah YDPA yang bantah pembelian Second hand tu

Sebenarnya YDPA bertitah secara menyeluruh agar membetulkan proses pembelian dan perolehan tu. MINDEF pergi Pakai orang tengah. Company tah siapa siapa masuk tender. Tu masalahnya yang naikkan harga dan sulitkan lagi proses pembelian

Sebab itu ialah isu utama. Pesawat ni kalau dapat sustain, maintain dan boleh refurbish semula untuk proses panjangkan hayat dia pun tiada masalah. Kita punya local industry dah ada kemampuan untuk maintain Hornet ini sendiri tau.

Hornet Kuwait jugak masih lagi capable untuk bertempur dan bukan keranda terbang. Legacy Hornet masih lagi jadi aset utama di beberapa buah negara di seluruh dunia. Dari segi teknikal masih terbuka untuk upgrade seperti setara Super Hornet untuk relevan sekurang-kurangnya 10 ke 15 tahun lagi

Tambahan lak kenyataan Menteri Pertahanan cakap bahawa Hornet Kuwait mileage dia rendah lebih kurang macam beli jet baru. Hanya 1,000 Jam ke 3,000 Jam penerbangan. Rendah tu. Malaysia sendiri 4,000 ke 6,000 Jam penerbangan

Kalau nak sangat takleh beli Hornet Kuwait

TUDM tiada pilihan lain kena teruskan ke Generasi Kelima. Untuk pastikan TUDM combat ready. Masalahnya kerajaan tak bersedia untuk belanjakan duit untuk Program MRCA at least dalam RMK-13

Kalau beli jet 4.5 yang lain. Makan masa untuk preparation sedangkan kita nak pakai tak lama. So cara paling laju ialah dptkan second hand. 30 buah ni akan tingkatkan kemampuan TUDM secara berganda. Dapat cepat bayar kurang

Rugi kalau kita tarik handbrake sekarang sebab langkah ni dah jauh pergi. US dan Kuwait dah setuju dah. Tinggal tunggu Super Hornet sampai ke Kuwait je tahun depan. Pastu Hornet tu milik kita. Dah fasa akhir dah.

Lagi satu langkah ni jangka pendek. Untuk push TUDM combat ready menjelang 2040. Supaya Kerajaan ada masa kumpul duit dan TUDM ada masa teliti betul betul mana yang sesuai jadi 5th Gen. Tapi pada masa yang sama TUDM masih combat ready.

Rare Footage of an M48 Patton Defending Hill 55 (1966)

Perched atop Hill 55 near Da Nang, a lone M48 Patton guarded Camp Muir, one of the U.S. Marine Corps' key defensive positions in South Vietnam.

From its commanding position, the tank delivered repeated main gun and machine-gun fire toward enemy forces advancing through the valley below while its crew maintained constant watch over the surrounding countryside.

Dominating the surrounding terrain, Hill 55 gave U.S. Marines a commanding view of the surrounding approaches, allowing them to detect and engage enemy threats long before they reached the camp.

The American JB-2 "Buzz Bomb" Test Launch (1948) 🇺🇸

Reverse-engineered from Germany's V-1 flying bomb, the Republic-Ford JB-2 became America's first mass-produced guided cruise missile, marking an important milestone in U.S. postwar missile development.

On November 12, 1948, U.S. Navy personnel prepared the JB-2 aboard a launch ship before firing it from a rail launcher over the open ocean. An accompanying aircraft tracked the missile throughout its test flight.

Although it never saw combat, the JB-2 helped lay the groundwork for guided missile technology that would shape U.S. military capabilities throughout the Cold War.

Before the 15 to 5 Plan, our Royal Malaysian Navy already had a plan that aimed to modernize the assets of the TLDM 2000-2020

In the old Plan, the RMN planned to have 6 ships for each Squadron , And most disappointingly, the plan was not implemented as expected by the RMN

On nuclear energy — as Malaysia prepares to introduce nuclear power under the 13th Malaysia Plan (2026-2030), several major global powers have proactively offered technology, regulatory assistance and training partnerships

>France
>US
>UK
>Russia
>Japan
>South Korea

[Danial Haikal || Lika @DaniKarlg]

South Korea and Malaysia have agreed to strengthen cooperation across nuclear energy, LNG, petroleum supply security and defence

Both sides also aim to reinforce LNG and oil supply security and finalise their FTA by the end of this year https://t.co/MU6odsYr9a

From narration excerpts from the source C-130 Gunship II video:

Normally, Big Spooky carried 6,000 rounds of 20mm and 32,000 rounds of 7.62 ammunition.

Over the Ho Chi Minh Trail, it was shooting nearly eight tons of ammunition per night.

In just one week of night interdiction missions in Laos, Big Spooky proved the devastating effect of its accurate and smothering firepower. On seven sorties along the Ho Chi Minh Trail, the enemy's main avenue of supply and communications, it destroyed 23 trucks, damaged eight more, set off 22 secondary fires and explosions, and knocked out three automatic weapons positions.👀

[Aviation Archive - Tim Farmer @aviationarchive]

The birth of the AC-130 gunship began with bare-metal prototype modifications in a 1967 hangar.

Project Gunship II initiated the conversion of JC-130A (serial number 54-1626) at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Engineers cut openings into the left side of the fuselage to accommodate side-firing 7.62mm miniguns and 20mm Vulcan cannons, permanently altering close air support tactics. The wheel well housing was also modified to integrate an early forward-looking infrared (FLIR) tracking sensor.

To protect the aircraft from heavy ground fire during low-altitude banking maneuvers, engineers packed the interior of the wing fuel tanks with reticulated polyurethane foam. This porous explosion-suppressant material occupied the empty space above the fuel, quenching sparks and preventing volatile vapors from detonating if a round pierced the wing.

By late 1967, this highly modified airframe deployed to South Vietnam for combat evaluations, laying the operational and survivability foundation for all future gunship variants.

Vietnam:
I'm building 4000 ton frigates now

Malaysia:
I'm good. Let me shoot myself on the foot by ordering FCX20 OPVs next (with different missiles, different CMS, different everything) instead of more Tunku Laksamana Abdul Jalil class Corvettes...

[Irfan_newboys🇲🇾🇵🇸🏳️🏴 @Marchfoward]

Aku rasa Malaysia boleh bantu selesaikan masalah aset ketenteraan yang usang dengan menggunakan lagi kelebihan Program Bantuan OSA dari Jepun

Dapat sikit kita aset aset baru dengan cepat dan percuma

Sepertimana dilakukan Filipina

Malaysia dengan Jepun hubungan sangat baik ditambah ada misi bersama kekang pengaruh China di Laut Borneo Utara(Laut China Selatan)

Sbb skrg Malaysia tak mintak aset yg terlalu banyak dan signifikan dari Jepun padahal Jepun dah offer. Filipina memang shopping habis haha

It's interesting that a few goes "if Vietnam is that good, why they're not building bigger ship" before.

And they straight up dropped a 4000ton design today, with local components like VCM AShM will be likely integrated on it as well.
