Interesting piece of news. Before - it was the Royal Malaysian
Navy the conducted the test launch. Now that the tests have failed,
the reports read - Matra BAE Dynamics was actually conducting the
tests.
Not too surprising at all given thier culture of pushing the
blame around. At any rate, the lack of accountability is built into
thier system. Militarily, this has resulted in a series of bizarre
bar paranormal incidents which throughly embarasses everyone who
comes to know of them. Of course, this includes half-baked and
half-completed military bases, delayed construction of naval
ships(which comes with incomplete manuals among others), stolen
weaponry from bases, idle IFVs with no spare parts, etc. Not to
mention the whole range of weapon purchases which could resemble a
shopping cart from a `pasar-malam.' All in, it`s a good show(and a
good laugh)and they are advised to carry on given its
implications.
Anyway, this incident could come into the top ten of thier bloopers
especially with the publicity given. Waiting for more..akan
datang.
Also, the lack of basic information on the F-15SGs versus the MKMs
they are having is good too. Tsk Tsk...so much for credibility.
