It was reported in the latest May copy of the ADJ that CoRMN said its' Starburst missle systems are obsolete and unable to cope with the threats of the "enemies'" fighter jets.

1. Any guesses, "Enemies" referring to ?
2. Where are RMN's major naval bases located ?

Thailand, Singapore, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines, Vietnam, Kampuchea, Laos, Philippines..?
Starburst is of course outdated. But that does not mean its not lethal. A lousy fighter jet pilot will still get shot out of the sky with a Starburst.
No worries, the fighters won't come so close to it. 40km away already release ordinance liao.
the starburst might be outdated for as a vshorad, but it's a heck of a weapon when used against armour..
Against armor as in land AFV ?
Yeah, thats what he meant.
I was wondering how come Javelin can be anti-aircraft missile and at the same time anti-armor, until I checked Wikipedia. The British Javelin was to replace the Rapier and now superseded by Starstreak. The American Javelin is totally different, it is anti-armor. Very deadly and still in use.

Outdated. Tell him to upgrade or buy new systems. Palm oil now command a good price. Barter trade anyone?
