S70A Brunei

Thanks  for the kindness  of Brunei  to transfer  S70A-33 Blackhawk  to Malaysia  Air Force. The 4 Blackhawk  capable  of carrying  11 troops or 9000lb of cargo or 6 stretchers. S70A can travel more than 500km in range.

Comparing to our existing  EC725  can carry 28 troops up to 857km.

The best part about S70A Brunei is that they have M134 minigun. It is a type of gatling gun firing 7.62mm with the max range of 1000 meters.. but not sure if the minigun is part of the package.

The transfers ia expected  by September  2015 as Brunei  Air Force will receive  their new S70i.

Fast Infantry Bridge

Thanks to our Royal Engineering  Regiment for the fast build bridge.

New Deterrence Asset For Sabah

The Military  is getting  few more high capable  asset  and weapon  for Sabah.

Latest one Brunei is going contribute  the Blackhawk into Sabah military operating part of effort to maintain  the peaceful  and  the confidence  of the people. Last year we have seem how intruder or Philippines  rebel who  claim they are the presenatative of Sultan Sulu and would  to claim back Sabah. The invasion  did killed some life from both side. There is not such thing as Sultanete of Sulu, the heir was long time died. The only that left  was the Sultanate  of Brunei which was the real from back there until now.

I guess the Brunei  worried  the accident  will disturb  the existing  peaceful  which  then will spread  to their Kingdom. We hope it never come to such extend.

As for Malaysian Air Force  they will equip  their    helicopters with gatling gun as a support  to the cavalry. This is enhancement  to the fire support. Maybe later  new attack dedicated  gunship will be procured such as T129 Mangusta... i hope soon.

Sabah is quite   big, is impossible  to monitor  their whole coast. Navy will have their  new remote  base with more small  fast ships coming as intercepter. Now the navy should   consider lost duration flying  drone  with proper  image  camera.

Sabah is part of Malaysia  and it should  be that  way. We should deploy more strategic asset to protect it sovereignty.

Relief help from neighbouring armed forces

Thanks  to Singapore & Thailand   Armed Forces  for the relief  help.

We lost a good pilot

The message  is clear ... the military  should  not involve  with  politics.
