Malaysia home made missile

As Mao Tze Tung said, it doesn't matter whether it is a white or black cat as long as it can catch mice, it is a good cat. Very Happy

There might be a possibility of collaboration or foreign help in this 155 mm laser guided projectile.

This foreign help might be NORINCO. See below link for NORINCO's 155 GP1 sold to UAE. It was thought by Kanwa that NORINCO 'copied' the Russian Krasnopol.

It could stem from conditions of getting KS1 SAM

cairocks SG

I wanted to find that, but so far couldn't. Anyone knows if any place sells it in Sg?

That was said by Deng Xiao Ping Wink

Actually the famous quote from Mao is: US of A is paper tiger

boredtulan SG

that's a collaboration between the MY army r&d and police. missile has a 22km range so they are all deployed in the south near sg, and in emergency the malaysian police will be mobilised to operate it first due to army manpower constraint.

as part of the deal, the police mounted a speed camera on the jeep and if missile go too fast coffee money will be demanded.

The 1st post already said it's fired via tube atry.
i dun see a seaker head though might be a GPS instead.

Ponders SG

Honestly, is this a prank??

why would such a thing be launched at an angle from the back of a pick up truck?

isn't the backblast going to damage the flat bed, or worse, hit the fuel tank?

and how do you laser guide an artillery (non-direct fire) shell?

equlus84 SG

I think they mount it on the truck so as to display to the public. Eg. you can't expect them to put it in the tank barrel or arti barrel and the MC announce the weapon yet the crowd can't see. Another example is like those HY-2 Ashm we see on NK military parade videos, by right they should be in canisters, but for parade sake, they bring it out of canister. Maybe RMA have not officially inducted it, so they are mounted on crude jeeps.
I think whether this missile is gd a not is not impt...... It is the strategic impact of this indigenious missiles have on SEA. Remember PRC sold some KS-1A to MY? It is said some MANPADS technology is transferred to MY as part of the deal, so we must be careful as they might have a slight edge in missile techs. PRC might be following the steps of USA back in the 70s, to load the "pawn" states with huge amount of weapons to check their oponents. Eg. is Iran in the 70s

tripwire SG

nope... KS-1 not in MAF service... MAF only talk shiok only....

Dude, there's not even a need to protect the optical openings of a laser guided weapon. Sapphire crystals are more or less the second hardest stuff next to diamond and it takes more than a sandstorm to even cause a minute scratch on it. IMO, the weapon being shown is AT BEST either a wire-guided or FnF (Fire-and-Forget) weapon.

Shotgun SG

Can't really say until we see the real thing. This really looks like an inert model.

Actually, i'm more interested in the nature of its warhead. HEAT, EFP? Or is it supposed to even shoot tanks at all, or are they just miniature saturation rockets.

The Jeep platform looks dubious. But it does suggest that its more of an urban operations weapon for hit n runs. A-la-Mogadishu technicals but with slightly more punch and sophistication.

MyVi SG

yes, u're rite......... the missile mount on the jeep, doesn't mean it will use that platform to launch the missile, it's only for display for the parade only. The missile is still under STRIDE (something likes DSTA) not in MAF yet, that's why we saw they wearing jacket not army uniform.........

one more thing, MAF is still not operate KS1-A yet.......... Mr. Green

Arapahoe SG

About the uniform doesn't it remind you that it came straight out from a 007 Roger Moore movie where the bad guys alway wear some kind of uniform. Laughing

Joe Black SG

Guys,

it looked like these have an IR-seeker at the front, if you look closely, it has the same IR seeker cone head like a sidewider.

My guess is this is their indigenous SAM.

tankfanatic SG

its an artillery precision guided munitions for artillery and its the same with the Gnar artillery projectile. Refer picture. on the right is the Krasnopol and on the left is the Gnar laser guided munition.

they put it on that ugly SUV just for display, and the guys with caps and weir uniform were the engineer for the Stride.

Its a real weapon system....but you can say its a wayang, a good one. lol

Shotgun SG

Well it could be some kind of guided-nebelwerfer wannabe....

DingChavez SG

The "jeeps" are Isuzu Rodeo. They're owned by STride which is something like the DSTA. The 'missiles' is not yet inducted with the MAF. My guesses are:-

As far as i can see it's some sort of tube launched projectile, maybe artilery launched, certainly not rocket or jet powered. The nose cone looks like an IR transparent materiel, which means most probably it's IR guided, which makes it most probably anti-tank or anti-armour. I cannot see that the "missiles" will be launched from that "jeep".

The jeeps are owned by the research company, Stride. I'm not sure why they chose that color on the pick-ups.

PS, in 4X4 Rallying, those Isuzu Rodeos are damn good and tough. Very Happy
