yup yup! that is what I suggest you do. Shut you damn mouth and let what will happen happen. for all you know in 2007 there will be only singapore and no more mud landOriginally posted by Innocent_Malaysian:first, i do visit ACIG, but the news is from a friend in SME Aerospace not ACIG...
SME Aerospace will be making some parts for the F/A-18E/F.(i cant say what parts yet...)
---I DID NOT BASE MY POSTS FROM THE GUY AT ACIG-----
And we are definitely gettng the AMRAAM...altthough it might be kept in the US like Singapore......(i got this info from a friend in the US embassy here)
WE WIL GET THE AESA( AROUND 2007-2009)
The Superhornet has no stealth features?
The F/A-18E/F has a signature of about the same size as the much smaller F-16, meaning IT IS MORE STEALTHY....if you dont belive me, ask an F-16 pilot....
JUST DONT TALK SO MUCH AND WAIT TO SEE

Malaysian Super Hornet buy is no closer Despite US FMS notification
Malaysia remains some way off fnalising a deal for Boeing F/A-18F Super Hornet and has yet to submit a letter of request to the US government. This despite recent Department of Defense(DoD) notificatiion to the US Congress of the possible foreign miltary sales(FMS), Kuala Lumpur confirms that one condition of a deal will be trade-in of its eight F/A-18D Hornets
The DoD's Defense Security Cooperation Agency(DSCA) has notified Congress of a proposed $1.5billion arms deal for Malaysia packaged around 18 two seat F/A-18Fs (Flight International, 10 - 16 February). Malaysian defense minister Najib Tun Razak says the country is looking "very seriously" at acquiring the Super Hornet, as well as the Sukhoi Su-30MKM, but it is still in negotiations with the US Navy and Boeing.
Najib adds that details on the number of fighters and configuraion have to be finalised. The DSCA notification covers 18 F/A-18Fs, whereas industry sources suggest the purchase could involve only 12 aircraft. "We intend to err on the high side in terms of quantity and dollar value to ensure we don't end up having to go back Congress." says the DSCA.
It is planned to equip the aircraft with the same Raytheon APG-73 radar as on Malaysia's F/A-18Ds, although the APG-79 actve electronically scanned array (AESA) radar will be available from 2005, around the time delveries to Malysia are due to start. The DSCA says the APG-73 is the only radar now available and any future switch to the AESA-design would require it being cleared for realease to Malaysia.
Najib adds that the Malaysian air force will trade-in its F/A-18Ds as part of any Super Hornet deal. It os inderstood that at least four of the five-year old Hornets are being offered to Switzerland, which is looking for additional F/A-18C/Ds for the reconaissance role and to bloster its existing fleets.
The remaining fighters may be offered to the US Marine Corps, although it is unclear where funding for such a purchase would come from.
Originally posted by Munster:that is a very singaporean perspective for your info. judging by the mud-slinging that takes place across the causeway, u'ld think that Sg was the roots of all their problems.
We are Asians...we need one another. Singapore cant survive alone and neither can Malaysia or any other Asian countries for that fact.
On that note....its true Malaysia is a country that put the well being of Malays as a priority over the others. But on a side note....whenever I speak to Chinese Malaysians...they are proud to be Malaysians and the ones I speak to prefer to live and Malaysia rather than Singapore with all our laws and so called higher living standards. Ponder on that.of course they prefer to live in malaysia but they also prefer to seek employment here... DuH! its called 1:2 exchange rate!
