I have realised that at Trengganu the air base is slighty more than twice the distance out of range for our FH2000 howitzers. They must really be worried about being knock-out by our artillery should we strike!
-
slightly more than 2x the range of FH2000....you got to be kidding right ? Either that or your geog is really bad.Originally posted by tankee1981:I have realised that at Trengganu the air base is slighty more than twice the distance out of range for our FH2000 howitzers.

I was informed that the Singapore have special rounds that can extended the range of the gun as compared to using normal rounds. Sort of like the one in the above picture.

The extended rounds can onli extend the range of the munition from (maybe) 48km to at most 50+KM. Gong Kedak is beyond the reach of any of our Artilleries.Originally posted by tankee1981:I was informed that the Singapore have special rounds that can extended the range of the gun as compared to using normal rounds.

Inorder to reach Gong Kedak , we have to use our available A/Cs with conventional or unconventional munitions. SOF insertion could be another way to level the base. -
No. We are using ERFB-BB rounds, which are the extended range rounds mentioned above, and with our -52 cal guns, they'll only go about 40km max. Besides, the pic above is that of an air-launched cluster bomb fitted out with a LongShot range-extension kit - its NOT an artillery round.

why so problematic??
just pay the russkies cold hard cash for the RMAF SU-30 self destruct code....
one push button... and you get nice big fireworks all over their base... FINISH. -
I been to that airport before during one of my business trips. Its airstrip is shared by commercial and military
-
I am wondering when we will be getting missile launchers like the US MLRS to counter the Malaysian ASTROS. MRLS from Singapore can reach that airfield?
