wow, i went off for few days and now got so many new posts. what
happened to that flamer HARIMAU? and I was reading through some of
the posts. Unfortunately, I have to say this, I doubt
Innocent_Malaysian is actually from the malaysian military. I can
claim to be from the SAF as well :
hey, you know what..., SAF has some special bombs for use as
'silver bullets'. (Tony Tan refered to silver bullets for SAF a few
years back) but i can't tell you what bomb it is.. secret
lah...
get the idea??? (btw, the above is FAKE okay? i'm just a 14yr-old
student)
secondly, I saw alot of references about waiting for Malaysia to
make their official announcement. I don't think anything short of a
confirmed purchase order will mean much when it comes to the
Malaysian military. They officially announced to have a submarine
force operational by the year 2000 in the 1980s... also, they
announced that they were going to get the E-2C soon after Singapore
got ours... all that came to nothing (okay well, maybe they did buy
the Scorpene subs in the end but its a bit late to be operational
by 2000 don't you think 
)
the MLRS strikes calculated by HARIMAU much earlier is not a very
good account. You are assuming all your uncontrollable tiny little
bomblets whack whereever you want it to. (otherwise they'll end up
bombing a few foreign country embassies as well, worst case
scenario, bomb israeli embassy, i dun want to think...) you are
also assuming all missles strike their target, all MLRS fully
opreational, able to deploy without getting itself detected (by
satellites even, since Singapore can recieve sat images at NUS,
though they are officially not for military use. I also doubt the
US NSA will hang around and watch their satellite imaging of MLRS
firing a few pretty little missiles at Singapore while they have
16k citizens here. After the 911 criticism, another incident like
will really kill the American government.
just my two cents... and I DO NOT work for any military, repeat...
DO NOT!
