5... The complete ejection system from seat to survive high-speed ejection. The seat has also proven itself in the low speed, low altitude and unusual attitude environment as evidenced during the MiG 29 crash at the Farnsborough Air Show. (yeah... was that the MIG that lost one engine because a bird wanna take a closer look? 2 engine fulcrum also got knock out of the sky by a single bird.... )Bird strike?I thought it was an engine flame out?
nah...i remem is that a bird went in e fulcrum engine and out. choking it den *boom*Originally posted by |-|05|:Bird strike?I thought it was an engine flame out?
Funny.....but in their report (as posted).....they seems to gave a balance and fair verdict on the 29N.....i dont recalled anything about " a cock up unprofessional " RMAF ever been used.....could you point it out to me please....maybe i miss itOriginally posted by tripwire:of course the USAF guy....
he practically call your RMAF a cock up unprofessional, inexperience and ill equipped unit... which he will have loads of laughter to share with his pals back in the states.... muahahahaa.a...
i'm not sure the Malaysian NS programe is pegged to the defence budget.And also note they usually say Military training not weapons training.And it's only for a few months or weeks i cant remember.Most likely they will be taught disapline more then firing weapons.Their training will most prob be physical conditioning,marching and respect instead of what we have.Originally posted by tripwire:oi.... harimau.. check my post point 10 and point 11... RMAF looks damn amateurish to me....
and to that bugger who call me an ultranationalist... who thinks that RMAF will get better... you better think again...
because... with malaysia NS sucking big money out of their defence expenditure... its gonna take some real miracle to get more money for the RMAF regulars... especially since air force stuffs tends to be very expensive....
who knows... maybe malaysia NS programe would weaken MAF even further then it already is....![]()

Most likely comes from their Home Affairs budget and should not affect their military's spending budget much.And you wonder why the Singapore defence budget is so high huh?Originally posted by tripwire:even so.. ... cost is involved... money dont just grow on trees...
unless they intend to force the teens to pay for everything from clothings to food and to lodgeing... maybe the instructors fee as well as transport fee too??
else... the money must come from somewhere... malaysia aint exactly loaded with cash... and last i check... they still got 40 billion US dollar in debt they havent clear.![]()
palm..oil..hmm, you mean grease some palms?Originally posted by Moonstriker:the debt which is still outstanding, i thought they can use their palm oil "strategy" to settle it?
With the US dollar under stress, commodities and countries that export them are riding high. I guess palm oil is one of those.....Originally posted by HARIMAU:Tripwire.....kindly read mags like FEER,Economist or Business Times to get the correct and latest info on Malaysia palm oil industries.According to BT even Thailand market are monopolised by Malaysian company.....and new market are growing darn fast in India,China and the Middle East.....(do you know how many people in China use oil as their standard issue cooking must have???)
Malaysia own palm oil estates in Thailand,Indonesia (which you already mentioned are Malaysian owned -you could verify it via the internet) and Ghana.And since the last 12 months palms oils crude price (PORLA) has risen to the max!!!
So next time kindly check your facts right![]()
For 1 the oil that China uses is mainly vege oil(sunflower,soya oil) or pork oil(lard)Originally posted by HARIMAU:Tripwire.....kindly read mags like FEER,Economist or Business Times to get the correct and latest info on Malaysia palm oil industries.According to BT even Thailand market are monopolised by Malaysian company.....and new market are growing darn fast in India,China and the Middle East.....(do you know how many people in China use oil as their standard issue cooking must have???)

[b]Bit off topic.....abt buying the Bionix.....i guess Sg wont sell it to us....at any cost....wanna bet??? And we already got the knowhow to manufacture (partly the least) the M113A3 familiy.ADNAN are much better than ULTRA with better armour,speed,firepower,BMS etc etc.BTW last LIMA Malaysian company signed a deal with a Swedish company (couldnt recalled names) to manufacture armour plates and stuffs for amoured vehicles.The company also manufacture plates for CV90.In short within a decade (to be safe) ....we'll be able to roll out our own AFV???[/B]
With regards with Malaysian debts and so on.....do you think the US dont sit on a pile of unsettled debts themselves???Kindly check ur facts right.....how mush do we owed and how much reserved do Malaysia got......talking abt reserved ur PM last few weeks when asked abt the national reserve (to help out the unemployed) replied something like this (check with ST)...."Our reserve aint that much.....already used half of it to bail out certain industrirs during the crisis......and we do not have the luxury of palm oil,rubber,gas....with out national reserve (money).....we're dead meat"
