Do you know what is called a live-firing exercise? Or have you been to a live-firing exercise?? Anyway, even though proven , Exocet has been around since 19...

I think you meant ASAL-BOLEH? (don't know how to put this in correct english but it means "do it anyhow..")

Sorry, just can't help myself. I get tickled by stupidity very easily. Mr. Green

What's the point of the MAF having GPS technology when most of them barely have the skills, or tools to maintain it properly? The SAF already has enough problems with it's own technology with the modern SAF soldier being a walking 1206 waiting to happen, I shudder to think what might happen to the MAF when they stupidly decide to follow us down the shaky path.

GPS? What's the point when most of the morons can barely use it and even when they can still horlan? I shudder to think that they dare to apply it to ASTROS... really, they can beat us if they think simple...

I ain't no tech guy. All I do know is that when I've got to put a target down, I just aim & fire off without the use of a GPS. Twisted Evil

Hmm! Is it not Idwar that was blasting away about how the U.S military with its sophisticated weaponary could still end up dropping bombs on schools? Anyway, those bombs had GPS too, so go draw your own conclusion about how good those GPS are. Rolling Eyes

Astros 2!!! Laughing

It is unguided rocket, if it is guided , it will be called a missile!!!

You dun even know the different between rocket and missile!

Anyway , we have this little discusson on the Astros 2 here long time ago.

It is proven to be a unguided system without any trajectory correction, such technology is already considered obsolete in today standard.

Such system will have a CEP of at least 1% of range, it might be even worst, afterall the Brazilian dun even dare to boost abt it! Laughing

For example the similar old Russian Uragan system has CEP of 1%, likewise for the Chinese WS-1B.

So for benefit of doubt , let say the CEP is 1% of range, at range of 89km:
50% of it with error of 890m,
32% with error within 890m~1.78km,
14% with error of 1.78~2.67km
& lastly 4% with error of 2.67~3.56km!!!!

Thus at 89km , unguided rocket system is totally useless tactically.
In fact if it target Woodland, it might even hit JB!!! Laughing

Here the old thread, read it and weep!!!

http://www.sgforums.com/?action=thread_display&thread_id=65643

Getting the unguided rocket w/o trajectory correction like the SS-60 and SS-80 is tactilcally useless beyond 40km becos of the poor CEP Laughing

The Brazilian talk abt the guided long range system since the 90s, so far not sure any have been fully developed.

Anyway , the Brazillian will not export any becos the Brazil is trying to join the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), which mean restricting the spread of long-range missiles.

Here the proof:

Malaysia is the only export customer for the SS-80 rocket, thinking they could get hold of the longer range AVMT-300 tactical missile(range 300km tactical cruise missile) that was developing, so MAF bought the Astros 2.

Now I think goondu MY's officers might feel thay have swindled by the promise of such long range tactical weapon which will never come!!! Laughing

lolx, true Laughing

Weirdo80 SG

Anyone know if Malaysia or Singapore has the GPS-guided JDAM weapon system?
