before you start jumping the gun and start making assumption...
i must ask that you justify the addition of RSAF and RSN asset in a
war against TNI in east malaysia where we have absolutely no
obligation watsoever treaty or otherwise to defend.
lol
secondly... MIG-29 is short legged that much everyone knows and
its practically in cold storage.
nope mig 29 not in the cold storage just yet.
Azizan said the RMAF was also looking at stealth technology in
the near future, to enhance its electronic and non-conventional
warfare capability, especially in combating terrorism.
The acquisition of more Sukhois or Hornets will, however, not
affect the operations of the existing 18 MiG-29N fighters, he
added.
"Although a decade old, the MiG-29Ns are still very useful and can
serve up to 30 years with proper maintenance and
refurbishment.
"Our ultimate aim is to refurbish and upgrade our combat aircraft
every 10 years to remain as a deterrent force, and enhance our
surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities."
short leg yes buth the 29N have operational range of 1500 km
with max. internal fuel and 2100 km with 3 external tanks...short
but still covered the east M respectedly.
while malaysia esteem F-18 numbered only a mere 8.. given a
division of 3 of 1/3 operation, 1/3 maintainance and 1/3 standby..
its a miracle you even bother to mention the F-18 existence given
its limited numbers...
why? it exist... it carry weapon...it can fire its weapon...the
malaysian would be smiling now if indonesian decide not to take the
hornets into count.
luckily you didnt bring in SU-30MKM... which currently would not
even be operational ...
why would 'i' want to bring the flanker?..and its not
operational yet...but that 2 have its weapon system integrated
already unlike the TNI AU ..MK. It doesnt even have
hardpoints.
the rest of RMAF subsonic fighters are not even worth mentioning
against TNI F-16s ....
this is so weird... the hawk were trainers and ground
attack..pal. Indonesia use it too.
RMAF stil have to guard peninsula malaysia with its remaining
fighters ... do you think they still go fighters to spare to cover
a RMN invasion into indonesia water to challeng the much bigger
TNI-AL fleet?
combat AC dont just guard area like that pal...what you think
this is like C&C general? only idiot plan battle that.
how about the aussies in butterworth?
for your info... the indonesian navy have at least 10
frigates... true they are mostly old and second hand... but couple
with their dozens of corvettes they are more then capable of
defending their landing ships well inside indonesian water under
indonesia F-16 covers.
you have got to be kidding me... those junk?
