Sorry folks have to adjust my write upOriginally posted by tripwire:that is on the assumption singapore is gonna sit there and watch indonesia occupy our northern frontier...
the greater possibility is SAF knocking MAF off the map and try to negotiate with TNI... maybe with a shipload of UMNO leaders for TNI leader's amusement...
Sun Tzu said: The art of war is of vital importance to the State.
It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no account be neglected.
The art of war, then, is governed by five constant factors, to be taken into account in one's deliberations, when seeking to determine the conditions obtaining in the field.
These are:
The Moral Law;
Heaven;
Earth;
The Commander;
Method and discipline.
The Moral Law causes the people to be in complete accord with their ruler, so that they will follow him regardless of their lives, undismayed by any danger.
Heaven signifies night and day, cold and heat, times and seasons.
Earth comprises distances, great and small; danger and security; open ground and narrow passes; the chances of life and death.
The Commander stands for the virtues of wisdom, sincerely, benevolence, courage and strictness.
By method and discipline are to be understood the marshaling of the army in its proper subdivisions, the graduations of rank among the officers, the maintenance of roads by which supplies may reach the army, and the control of military expenditure.
its just an exchange of comminuque... its not the signed agreements itself... such exchange is understandable given that the federation of malaysia which including singapore and east malaysia was formed on .16th of september 1963... and AMDA is still in effect until FPDA comes into force in 1971.ofcourse, i take it from open source
however... such communique made no promise by australia or any powers to come to the defence of all territories of malaysia...look..the reason is quite simple...in fact its so simple.
The Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) were agreed in 1971 and committed Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and UK to consult in the event of an attack on Singapore or Malaysia.9. While the tone were soften... these 5 country still regularly exercise with each other in an unforseen event of an attack by an 'unknown' enemy. They have a Headquarters of the Integrated Area Defence System. The australia stationed troops and ac in butterworth and the IADS itself were upgraded from time to time.
after 8 years of negotiation... i am sorry to inform you... east malaysia was eventually dropped from the FPDA.look pal, its a journal...a journal could be wrong..back in the 60 & 70 some people still call the peninsular malaysia as malaya and thought the sabah and sarawak belongs to the british... its like when some people still think that malaysian still live in cave. For all the thing that we said it is a typo or flawed research.
here is a short excerpt from singapore MINDEF journal... and i quote:
quote:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The very fact of its flexible arrangement means that any member who has become "less willing" can leave the FPDA, thus weakening both the indivisible defence of. peninsular Malaysia and Singapore element and the so-called psychological deterrence element. Conceivably, a more assertive Indonesia may in future raise questions about the FPDA's relevance.

And if SG see such a large formation on radar, nevermind the Malaysian,s the Indonesia will be chopped into bits. I SERIOUSLY DOUBT Singapore will allow ANY LANDING CRAFT, Malaysian or Indonesian near its shores.Originally posted by CM06:I cant resist but say:
I doubt even 70% of that list of transports are actually in ready-to move condition.
I doubt more than 20% of them are at the same port and crewed/manned.
Without air defense measures and sufficient naval deterrence, i doubt any of them would make it to the opposite shore in one piece.
Naturally if you congregate more than 10 of those things together with a few battalion of troops/vehicles at the same port, we will push button once we see it on radar/satellite.
It's a guess on my part of course.
in ww2... peninsula malaysia forest is probably just as dense as east malaysia today... that didnt stop the japs from using their tanks to good effect....the tank didnt traveres the forest pal, all tank assault in malaysa were happening along the main road. And its a disaster most of the time and the infantry have to flank the defender by flanking attack.
just because east malaysia is mainly forest... it does not mean tanks cannot be used in east malaysia... dont east malaysia have cars? and trucks??there is no way to compare the phetetic british defence in malaya and the capability of the the MAF 1st Infantry Division 15 thousand heavily armed regular soldier, which currently is the only division that were in the highest alert level at the longest time among the 4 division that they have, because of the all year long Ops Pasir Sarendra.

based on the fact that indonesia navy has as many as 28 landing transport ship, how many landing transport ship does malaysia have... dont bother if you cannot even list 3 ship.1503 Sri Indera Sakti
such arrogance... from singaporean as well as malaysian forumners...Originally posted by tankfanatic:sigh..
1503 Sri Indera Sakti
1504 Mahawangsa
1505 Sri Inderapura
331 Sri Tiga
332 Sri Gaya
Tempur 11-15 (5 unit)
Tempur 21-24 (4 unit)
Tempur 31-34 (4 unit)
Tempur 41-44 (4 unit)
that is more than three but like i said earlier MAF were shaped not in an offensive role but their doctrin were more towards defence. So no need for so many landing transport ship
quote:you said if there is more than 3 show it here.. that i did. How the heck that makes me arrogant? i even said MAF were not geared for offensive, hence its lack of landing ship.

such arrogance... from singaporean as well as malaysian forumners...
allow me to say this... until each and every one of those ships i listed is confirmed sunk... in war.. one must assume the worst... and consider every indonesian ship as sea worthy... and more then capable of doing its duties...like i proposed earlier, please show us the condition and if can those listed ship defensive armaments.
to simply look down on the prepardness, willingness and readiness of the indonesian military professionalism to ready every vessel at its command prior to a war... is gonna be our biggest mistake.may be u are right ...the TNI did look pretty
even if 80% of the indonesian transport fleet is down for maintainance or other reason... that is still a military lift capability on par with RSN and definitely superior to RMN.if that the case there wont be any war in the first place
while i dont think that TNI-AL would actually use those ships in the melaka straits due to geographical reason... i believe that TNI-AL can support a troop rush to kalimantan from every province of indonesia faster then malaysia can to support east malaysia.the MAF 1st Infantry Division were capable and professional. I think it can delay or bog down the 4 million TNI pouring from south kalimantan.
not mention the fact that the huge sea lift amphi capabilites would allow indonesia to open and support a second beach front along east malaysia coast to the north and stretch the already overstretch MAF into a bi-front war with a simultaneous assault from across kalimantan.east malaysia have one infantry division, west malaysia have 3, one even a combined armes division, hows that would stretch west malaysia?
lastly... i am short of time... allow me to say this... fence sitting is not an option for singapore on the long term.i say dont involved in the war instead wage the diplomatic war against the confrontation, it makes singapore looks good.
and neither would making indonesia our enemy a best outcome scenario...
in my opinion... we cannot afford to offend indonesia... as such... we risk making malaysian an enemy... something we cannot afford too...singapore have offend indonesia so many times, i dont think kow towing now would look good for the population
what we can do within our ability is to wipe MAF off the floor and try to seek peace with indonesia... (unless some genius here can tell us how we can wipe the TNI off the map with our limited resources... with or without MAF assitance)wipe out MAF? the american cant even wipe the stinking taliban! we can severely punish them..thats the right word (although i dont see the reason why to do that)
the good news is... global powers will not want to see an indonesian domination of the melaka strait.. that could work in our advantage.agree
such arrogance... from singaporean as well as malaysian forumners...It's not a matter of just pure numbers. Quantity (and quality as well) makes the difference.
allow me to say this... until each and every one of those ships i listed is confirmed sunk... in war.. one must assume the worst... and consider every indonesian ship as sea worthy... and more then capable of doing its duties...It doesnt matter if it has a working sea-lift capability of MORE than RMN/RSN.

Travel by sea takes time. Travel from Coast to inland -objectives takes even more time as well. Travel by land to inland objectives takes alot of time. In other words, you give Defending forces in East Malaysia plenty of time to prepare defense positions. The longer the time they have to prepare defensive positions, the MORE men you need to assualt those objectives you have to take. Also to mention, this is most likely(At most) A light mech aggressor attacking dug-in defensive positions with Artillery Support. It's pretty foolhardy in my honest opinion.
not mention the fact that the huge sea lift amphi capabilites would allow indonesia to open and support a second beach front along east malaysia coast to the north and stretch the already overstretch MAF into a bi-front war with a simultaneous assault from across kalimantan.As stated, even if you have a two-directional war, you being the aggressor -must be able to coordinate movement of troops at sea and on land (because they travel at VERY different speeds) so time planning is a factor to be able to capture your objectives at the same time. Otherwise, your attack will be most likely fail. Moreover, if Indonesia is the aggressor, you have to -attack- your targets. Regardless of how much troops you have, you have to use them to attack - defending positions chosen by Malaysians/well stocked and supplied to let you grind your troops against them. No point telling me you can take CTE/PIE OR just TPE from Yishun to Changi. Even if you come from two directions, you will have to take over Changi right? That's the challenge.
lastly... i am short of time... allow me to say this... fence sitting is not an option for singapore on the long term.Yes to not fence sitting but going all out to not offend indonesia is pretty stupid
and neither would making indonesia our enemy a best outcome scenario...
in my opinion... we cannot afford to offend indonesia... as such... we risk making malaysian an enemy... something we cannot afford too...No. As in. I rather we offend the first than betray a close relative.
what we can do within our ability is to wipe MAF off the floor and try to seek peace with indonesia... (unless some genius here can tell us how we can wipe the TNI off the map with our limited resources... with or without MAF assitance)If we dont have to do the first thing you mentioned here, we have more than enough resources to be able to deter any threats from the latter. I would be even more interested to hear what you say regarding Indonesia's ability to attack us with their military might. Please nothing like insurgents/commando wrecking havoc. If that happens, that's a BIG international boo boo once we capture those people and put them on TV. Remember the macdonald house ka-boom?
the good news is... global powers will not want to see an indonesian domination of the melaka strait.. that could work in our advantage.Of course can you believe, their multi trillion dollar investments becoming smoke over night and they will just allow that?

i leave for half a day... and there seem to be a misunderstanding already...Originally posted by Shotgun:All this discussion about sea-lift, reminds me of the Battle of Britain. Any plans for an amphibious operation on a large scale and overt manner will first be a contention for air superiority.
None of the above mentioned sea-life assets that the Indon Navy has will be able to make it through without first neutralizing RSAF and RMAF. They face a hailstorm of Harpoons, Exocets, Mavericks and who knows even Hellfires can be employed as an anti-ship weapon.
And frankly speaking, I do not rate the Indons too highly on their naval anti-missile capabilities.
Personally, I feel that a more plausible situation would be the Malaysians trying to land more reinforcements and supplies on East-Malaysia. The Indons would know better to worry about the troops sitting on their borders FIRST before worrying about the West Malaysian assets.
Then please answer my questions which you have avoided twice already!Originally posted by tripwire:1st.. as mention above.. the indonesian troop lift is far superior to either RSN or RMN irreguardless watever self delusion some of us may have regarding TNI ability.... its suicidal to underestimate the TNI-AL.. especially in war support of a national war...
secondly.. never did i say that TNI would use its ships for support in an amphi assualt on west malaysia or singapore.... in fact.. i stated clearly that the indonesia sea lift would not be suitable for use in melaka straits due to geographical concern...
however... the availability of TNI sea lift capacities would prove useful for a troop rush to kalimantan... say moving troops from the java, celebes or molucus to kalimantan... well within indonesia... well beyond RMAF reach and well within TNI-AU protection.
1st.. as mention above.. the indonesian troop lift is far superior to either RSN or RMN irreguardless watever self delusion some of us may have regarding TNI ability.... its suicidal to underestimate the TNI-AL.. especially in war support of a national war...aiya..in what way that its troop lift is far superior than the later? numerical?
however... the availability of TNI sea lift capacities would prove useful for a troop rush to kalimantan... say moving troops from the java, celebes or molucus to kalimantan... well within indonesia... well beyond RMAF reach and well within TNI-AU protection.SU MKM have 8000km range with tanker support... so where exactly that in indonesia the RMAF cant reach?
