A lil paranoid don't you think? The Malaysians do have the right to protect their territory. Its not as if Johor is a DMZ or something.Originally posted by CM06:Whao....now that's too close for comfort...i will keep that in mind when i go ICT...
Thanks for hotse pics. They look very clear!
Yep, the Bradley and the FMC AIFV are 2 completely different animals.Originally posted by chino65:It is not a downscaled version of the Bradley, but suit yourself.
which comes to the same thingOriginally posted by Daniel-Lim:Yep, the Bradley and the FMC AIFV are 2 completely different animals.
I think he got mislead by the line in his favourite book that said that FMC realized no one else would want a heavy and expensive Bradley and developed the AIFV for export.
Hehe, while you are making Singapore safe for the rest of us, you may also want to know that about 10 years ago they started a paratroop battalion or brigade in Johore.Originally posted by CM06:Paranoid? Erm no. No harm to know(or suspect) they are keeping Armoured Regiment at our door step either.
Anyway, it's just information that i can keep in mind. It's just for my own amusment to see what i glimpse here and there and try to form a logical picture.
Having A vehicles down so far south means they are shifting some units around. Some conclusions you can come to that. Or maybe they are getting them to be transported to somewhere else. Blahblahblah conjections.

i never said they are the same animal
Originally posted by laurence82:oh dear, it looks like a downscaled version of Bradley
its called AFV or somethign right?
The Bradley is made by United Defense.Originally posted by laurence82:Nope, i really mean a downscaled version of Bradley, only that i got the name wrong
its AIFV, from my beloved Armoured Fighting Vehicles - 300 of the world's greatest military vehicles
-_-!Originally posted by Daniel-Lim:The Bradley is made by United Defense.
The FMC AIFV is made by FMC.
The body is different.
The hull is different.
The road wheels, the tracks, the drive sprocket, the engine etc are ALL DIFFERENT.
They are NOT the same thing, and they don't "come to the same thing".
Could these be 2nd World War tanks which Poland was trying hard to dispose off with huge discount offers.Originally posted by ceecookie:Spotted these tanks in malaysia last Fri.Hope the pictures helps
You have got to be kidding me...Originally posted by ninefold9:Could these be 2nd World War tanks which Poland was trying hard to dispose off with huge discount offers.
At one time M'sia was expressing interest in acquiring them but citing lack of fund. They even talked about paying through installments and supplementing the deal with vast supplies of M'sia's palm oil.
If indeed these are World World II tanks, there is a possibility that they were built with Russian technology. The weaponry technology is out-dated for use today. Furthermore, they were meant for cold climatic European countries - O Kay for cold countries like Poland but not hot tropical countries in S.E. Asia.
Bringing them over to M'sia, the military engineers may need to come out with a solution to install cool air-conditioning system, or else soldiers inside the tanks will be barbequed to death. Mitsui air-cond system from Protons can be considered.
In cutting down costs, some wise nuts might consider reconfiguring the system in such a way that cheap palm oil can be used in place of the more expensive high grade petrol to power the tanks. After all M'sia is known as one of the world's biggest exporters of palm oil.
Hopefully these tanks will not leak in water, like those in which ex-president Habibe purchased out-dated World War II tanks from Germany. On its maiden journey to Indonesia some of these tanks leaked in water and reportedly sunk into oceans.
Be sure that these tanks won't end up as museum pieces

Huh?Originally posted by Rephidim:The tanks look pretty noob ah?
Like a kiddy tank to the Abram or M13.
But on afterthought, I wouldnt wanna meet one of them on the battlefield.
KNN, how to kill that thing with an M16A2 and with SFG?
Maybe Spike or Milan/Armbrust will work, but our LAW platoon always not there when you need them... And I dont wanna secure an area anywhere near that metal thing for the LAW guys to come in.
Take cover until it runs out of fuel the best idea. No need for unnecessary casualties...

I said it and am repeating it again it's either a GPMG or a HMG barrel.Originally posted by ceecookie:BTw,the last picture of the IFV - what gun is installed on the turret?Look pretty small to be a cannon compared to the rest of the IFVs(which are having bigger ones)
My bad,i thought u were replying to Sand King's query on something sticking on top of the last tank.Originally posted by CM06:I said it and am repeating it again it's either a GPMG or a HMG barrel.
Dont know if the increase interest in military nuts forum is a blessing in disguise.......
