Stop predicting lah.... you want.. you can go to little india... bring a deck of card and your pet parrot and do your predicting there... not in here... bo liow one...Originally posted by Innocent_Malaysian:1.the rmaf's fulcrum's hardpoints were modified to enable the R-77
****![]()
BY the same presumption... all singapore F-16s and F-5S also have AMRAAM hardpoint... so RSAF must also have the AMRAAM lah?? so naive.....

2.why do you say msia doesnt have the r-77??its not that they cant afford it...or its not that russia would sell it.......
****![]()

3.our fulcrums use 3rd level maintainance.....i admit the serviceblity has been poor but with ATSC the servicebility of the fulcrums should be better...
****Tell that to your pilots...![]()
4.what will you do if i DO get you a picture of the rmaf r-77s??
do you know how to recognise them??
****Show first then talk later...![]()
currently we have 7 hawk 108 and 17 hawk 208...
the F/A-18Ds we have are superior to your F-16 block 52's in ATG roles....
**** says who??![]()
singapore's F-16 block 52 isnt your normal block 52.... it got lots of classified stuff as can be seen from that dorsal spine... how you know that RSAF F-16 is inferior to your standard buy off the shelf hornet?? afterall... singapore falcon is customized built one... so dont any how assume

the RSAF is better in numbers...
i predict that b4 2005, we will also get AWACs...
I do believe the hawk fighters do have some limited strike ability, though not that advanced.Originally posted by laser51088:I seriously doubt that the Hawks meant as TRAINERS will prove any use as strike aircraft. These are planes built as trainers and flown as trainers not trainers by the result of some conversion and thus, i think it will be a pretty big joke to use them for strike. Also, the flight time of Singapore's pilots are comparable with that of the top European air forces. If Malaysia tried to increase their pilots' skill by doing the same, they'll probably have to sell so much palm oil they got nothing left...
From an Australian pilot.Originally posted by EXCO:"If you shot down a malaysian, he was never there and never got shot down. If you shot down a Singapore pilot, he would want to know what happened and where he made a mistake. That is a sign of a country that is prepared for war." I read this quote from an aviation website, i think it was quited from an Australian or American pilot who flew with RMAF and RSAF in exercises.
Well, RSAF pilots constantly train with ACMI. it is common to get "shot down" during simulated dogfights or air 2 air combats. And lessons learnt during simulation will definitely help during real combat. Thus RSAF pilots who work with foreign professional pilots like those of USAF, RAAF, RAF, FAF, RCAF etc. are not afraid to admit that they are shot down. In fact they wouldn't deny that because the ACMI instrument register everything...Originally posted by EXCO:"If you shot down a malaysian, he was never there and never got shot down.

As for RMAF, they don't have ACMI yet, and thus they are still in the children's game of "who shot who and who didn't shoot who".
And so our friend now talks about simulators... Have you seen one of RSAF's simulators? you know... they can move and have 360 degrees of visible space! WoW!Originally posted by Innocent_Malaysian:flying time??
we can fly in simultors....![]()
There you have it. You can boast about how good the system is but if it is not combat proven it is not a fully functional weapon. Remember about the Patriot Missile? It was said to be very efficient to stop the scud missile. One shot one target. But in the end it proves that it is not as accuate or effective as it shouldOriginally posted by FulcrumN:the RMAF r-77s still have a longer range than the aim120..
the only advantage of the aim120 is that it is combat proven
Because facts show it only has a low 30% operational rate, due to parts problem (russian supplier problem) and exceptional short life span of the parts (quality control problem).Originally posted by Innocent_Malaysian:why does everyone here think our MiGs are so lousy????nvm......
It's a known fact Russia "water down" their products for export. What malaysia got is not the same standard as what the Russian has.Originally posted by Innocent_Malaysian:why does everyone here think our MiGs are so lousy????nvm......
