Maybe as jealous as you are seeing as such that we will be
getting better stuffs as usual.
i dont understand... i get the getting better stuff part..but
the front one i dont inderstand
But seriously, the arguments `are' about the relative inaccuracy
of the Astross which is still a fact. They are unguided
rockets.
yes and it use cluster munition....
And Himars and other newer western systems will carry guided
rockets. The reason why the MAF got the Astross is to reduce the
huge gap or lead Singapore has in terms of artillery systems.
Singapore`s aritllery arsenal is just massive. Just read your own
article you posted silly. It is pointless to compare Singapore and
Malaysia. Priorities differ and honestly, Singapore is in a
different league completely.
wait...when didd i post anything about comparing MAF and
SAF?.....you dumb f*** you tought i was some one else again!
i have told you before I AM NOT MYVI!!!!
I agree with many of the astute comments made by many posters
here. We do not need another run of the mill artillery delivery
system. The Himars, etc if acquired will be carrying precision
guided rockets or missiles; and most likely from Israel.
like i said good for us
Malaysia would use her Astross as normal artillery systems given
the relative lack in artillery systems. Singapore does not have
this problem at all since we have a huge arsenal of artillery
systems which can do that job.

Denel G5 Mk III 155mm/45-calibreQty: 28
in this case you are right malaysian arty were less in number than
us..... but not lacking as you conceive.
The problem with unguided rockets is that the latter`s accuracy
gets more inaccurate the further they go.
no dispute in this..its a fact.... hence to reduce this short
coming all MLRS munitions were cluster munitions.
If you want to destroy strategic targets and hardened targets,
you would go for a unitary war-head and not cluster munitions.
of course...who said anything about destroying hardened target
using cluster munition (although they have the anti armor and anti
runway munition)
But that does not mean the GMLRs cannot be configured to carry
cluster munitions. Which would want? A rocket which would go off-
tangent and hit something esle or an accurate one?
sigh...
Good luck to them killing of thier own people and destroying
thier own buildings if they are not worried about collateral
damage
they actually aim it at us...and our civillian....and yes they
didnt care of our collateral .
