Thales Rapid Ranger dengan Medium Radar Range Control Master 200 dengan 4 Tube Pelancar StarStreak

RAPIDRanger can be integrated into a network enabled force structure and be coordinated with Early Warning Command and Control (C2) systems, or it can operate in an autonomous mode for specific missions. When using the STARStreak missile with its extremely fast time of flight, a variety of threats can be defeated from head on or fast crossing aerial targets, to targets such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and helicopters. When used with the LMM a capability is provided to defeat surface targets such as Light Armoured Vehicles (LAVs), trucks and fixed installations and aerial targets such as UAVs. 

Both missiles utilise the Thales laser beam riding guidance system. With the increasing need for Force Protection against conventional and asymmetric threats, RAPIDRanger provides the multi-mission effects demanded by modern forces. The system weighs less than 500 kg, and being of modular design, can be fitted to many types of wheeled or tracked vehicles. The RAPIDRanger open architecture enables the integration of a range of missiles from the highly effective STARStreak Air Defence Missile to anti-armour missiles and rockets. The main components of the system are a servo driven turret and the weapon’s operator Human Machine Interface (HMI). 

The turret houses the Stabilised Sight Head (SSH), and supports two missile panniers. The SSH contains Daylight and Thermal Imaging cameras, integrated with an Automatic Target Tracker (ATT), laser guidance unit to support STARStreak and LMM and optional laser rangefinder. The RAPIDRanger is designed to include an integral 360° surveillance sensor - either a passive Infra Red Search and Track (IRST) or integrated Surveillance and Track Radar which provides the RAPIDRanger with completely autonomous system operation.

Royal Malaysian Air Force -Tactical Air Launched Decoy (TALD)

The ADM-141A/B TALD was an American decoy missile originally built by Brunswick Corporation for the United States Air Force and the Israeli Air Force. Later it transitioned to joint US/Israeli manufacture with Israeli Military Industries Advanced Systems Division (IMI-ASD).

The Tactical Air Launched Decoy (TALD) was intended to confuse and saturate enemy air defenses, as part of an overall SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) strategy, thus allowing attacking aircraft and weapons a higher probability of penetrating to the target. The Improved TALD is a turbojet-powered version.



The TALD was used with great success in the opening stages of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, with the first being deployed in combat by Lt. Jeff Greer. More than 100 were launched on the opening night of the war. This prompted the Iraqi air defense to activate many of its radars, most of which were then destroyed by anti-radiation missiles.

The Improved TALD is powered by a Teledyne CAE Model 312 (J700-CA-400) turbojet. This boosted the range to more than 300 kilometres (190 mi) at high altitude and 185 kilometres (115 mi) at low altitude. This model was also capable of performing a flight profile resembling that of a real aircraft much more convincingly. Initially 20 TALDs were upgraded to ADM-141C ITALD configuration, with the first flight conducted in 1996. Since then the U.S. Navy has ordered over 200 ADM-141Cs.




The major user of the ADM-141 is the F/A-18 Hornet. A single Hornet can carry up to 6 decoys.

Rohde & Schwarz delivers communications suite for Lekiu-class frigates of the Royal Malaysian Navy, on budget and ahead of time, increasing the installed base in Malaysia.

Xavier Vavasseur 15 Nov 2019

The Royal Malaysian Navy’sLekiu-class frigates, KD Jebat and KD Lekiu, are the most modern surface ships of the service, serving in the 23 Frigate Squadron. To ensure seamless connectivity and support the mission, Rohde & Schwarz has delivered and commissioned its NAVICS IP integrated communications system (ICS) into the Lekiu-class frigates of the Royal Malaysian Navy. Working for a contract with Boustead Naval Shipyard SdnBhd (part of Boustead Heavy Industries Corporation Bhd – BHIC), the independent company completed the project on budget and three months ahead of time.


Having upgraded the vessels with NAVICS, and modern software defined radios of R&S M3SR (Series 4100 HF, Series 4400 VHF/UHF), Rohde & Schwarz also integrates and interfaces with present third party systems on board such as Datalink, message handling, public address and ship telephone system.

The Royal Malaysian Navy guided-missile frigate KD Jebat (FFG 29) is followed by the littoral combat ship USS Freedom (LCS 1) and the offshore patrol vessel KD Kelantan as part of Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (CARAT) Malaysia 2013. More than 1,200 sailors and Marines are participating in CARAT. CARAT is a series of bilateral military exercises between the U.S. Navy and the armed forces of Bangladesh, Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Timor Leste. (U.S. Navy photo by Mass Communication Specialist 3rd Class Karolina A. Oseguera/Released)

“We are very proud to be integrated in two major naval assets for Malaysia and honored to be working with a great partner, Boustead Naval Shipyard. Providing a safe, future-ready investment for the Royal Malaysian Navy in time and on budget, NAVICS interconnects the onboard services – voice, message handling and C4I.”

SANDAKAN: The Malaysian navy’s Eastern Fleet Headquarters successfully carried out this year’s iteration of its Operational Sea Training Exercise or Ostex East 2019 recently.

The exercise, carried out in two phases – namely port and maritime – fulfilled the maritime operational requirements in the Eastern Sabah Security Zone.


Ostex East 2019 involved the fleet’s assets and units based at its headquarters and Markas Wilayah Laut 2 (Mawilla 2) or Maritime Region 2.

The port phase was implemented at Mawilla 2 and Sandakan naval base while the sea phase was carried out in the Sulu and Sulawesi Seas.

Last year’s edition provided the basis for the exercise this year hosted by Mawilla 2.

Fleet Deputy Commander First Admiral Rusli Ahmad officially opened the exercise in a ceremony at the Sandakan base.

The implementation of the port phase included base defence training which involved all units at the Sandakan base and ships anchored at the Sandakan Base Station.

Briefings and discussions on various simulations of over and underwater threats were held.

In the sea phase, the task element consisted of vessels KD Kelantan, KD Paus, KD Pari, KD Yu, KD Sri Gaya and KD Sri Perlis while the Sharifah Rodziah Sea Base was the platform for several training sessions.

The task element set out to sea as early as 6.23am and carried out a series of exercises reaching Tawau waters.
For this phase, the ships were tested in sailing through land mines, maritime knowledge, weaponry, communications and military warfare tactics.

The exercise also tested the crew’s endurance in carrying out continuous missions for three consecutive days in turbulent sea conditions.

An evaluation team was tasked to evaluate the preparedness and fighting capability of the Eastern Fleet Headquarters and Mawilla 2’s assets and personnel.

The exercise closing was held on board KD Sri Tawau by Mawilla 2 Commander Vice Admiral Dato’ Sabri Zali.
In his speech, he said the training had a positive impact on maritime communities in eastern Sabah and the presence of navy vessels indirectly assured the public of their safety.
“The armed forces and navy remain committed to preserving the nation’s maritime sovereignty,” he said.

Take on and eliminate the most advanced main battle tanks (MBTs) in all conditions.

It is reported here that Malaysian Army  had ordered a batch of Next Generation Light Anti-tank Weapon (NLAW) developed by Sweden and United Kingdom. 

http://www.malaysiandefence.com/nlaw-for-the-army/

NLAW (Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapon) is the latest shoulder-launched, Overfly Top Attack, anti-tank missile system that makes it the true tank killer for light forces that operate dismounted in all environments including built up areas.

Selectable Overfly Top Attack (OTA) against armoured targets and Direct Attack (DA) against non armoured targets such as other vehicles and vessels or enemy troops inside buildings.

PLOS (Predicted Line Of Sight) guidance and OTA delivers easy handling, accuracy and high kill probability.

NLAW turns the hunter into the hunted

Tanks have traditionally allowed operators to hunt down the opposition in relative safety. Saab’s NLAW turns the tables. It is the ultimate tank killer.

NLAW’s armour-piercing warhead can destroy a heavily-protected modern battle tank with one shot. The lightweight, shoulder-launched system can be operated by a single soldier, making NLAW the ideal anti-tank weapon for infantries and dismounted soldiers.

It does not rely on an active target-seeking system. Instead, NLAW uses PLOS targeting with magnetic and optical sensors, and requires no lock-on signature. The system is equally effective day or night.

Media Malaysia seperti biasa agak lambat tangkap usaha Mindef dan Kerajaan dalam isu isu pertahanan. Mungkin kurang memahami. Jadi rakyat Malaysia sebenarnya telah miss satu pencapaian tertinggi Angkatan Tentera Malaysia di dunia serba canggih ini. ATM sedang bersiap sedia mempertahankan Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) Malaysia dengan penubuhan dua elemen penting dalam perperangan siber.

Selaras kewujudan ancaman terhadap keselamatan negara membabitkan teknologi siber, Kementerian Pertahanan mengukuhkan keselamatan siber dengan membentuk National Cyber Security Policy (NCSP) dan Cyber Electromagnetic Activity (CEMA).



Bagi tujuan operasi ketenteraan, kombinasi keupayaan operasi siber dengan peperangan elektronik (Electronic Warfare, EW) akan menjana usaha CEMA untuk melindungi CNII.

CNII merupakan salah satu titik graviti yang amat penting yang mana jika rosak dan dimusnahkan akan melemahkan negara, menghancurkan ekonomi dan menjejaskan rakyat secara direct or indirectly.

The CNII sectors are:
-National Defence & Security
-Banking & Finance
-Information & Communications
-Energy
-Transportation
-Water
-Health Services
-Government
-Emergency Services
-Food & Agriculture

"Critical National Information Infrastructure (CNII) is defined as those assets (real and virtual), systems and functions that are vital to the nations that their incapacity or destruction would have a devastating impact on Malaysia"  https://cnii.cybersecurity.my/

Tadbir urus keselamatan siber negara yang diterajui oleh Agensi Keselamatan Siber Negara (National Cyber Security Agency, NACSA) memerlukan lebih banyak pelaburan, koordinasi, penguatkuasaan dan strategi tindak balas yang aktif secara inklusif di peringkat kebangsaan, negeri, korporat dan komuniti. ATM melalui Cyber Defence Operation Centre (CDOC) merupakan rakan strategik National Cyber coordination and Command Centre (NC4) NACSA, memainkan peranan penting dalam melindungi CNII, meliputi tindak balas, komunikasi dan penyelarasan semasa krisis siber. CDOC memantau kesedaran situasi pertahanan siber manakala NC4 memantau kesedaran situasi keselamatan siber di peringkat nasional melibatkan entiti awam dan swasta.

Mendepani ketakpastian dalam kepesatan era digital, Kerajaan bertekad untuk mengambil langkah-langkah yang berkesan untuk melindungi CNII daripada serangan siber. Perancang pertahanan negara membangunkan doktrin siber yang koheren selaras dengan Strategi Keselamatan Siber Negara (Malaysia Cyber Security Strategy, MCSS) bagi meningkatkan daya tahan pertahanan dan keselamatan siber

Panglima Angkatan Tentera ke-21 - Jeneral Tan Sri Haji Affendi Buang

January 3, 2020, 2:21 am
$

0


Perlantikan Jeneral Tan Sri Affendi Buang sebagai Panglima Angkatan Tentera bermula 2 Januari 2020 melakarkan pencapaian terbaru kepada anak jati Kampung Lintang, Petra Jaya. 

Sebelum ini, beliau merupakan Panglima Tentera Udara ke-18 bermula dari 21 Disember 2016, setelah menerima perkenan daripada YDP Agong Sultan Muhammad V. Dengan Baginda Sultan Muhammad V sukarela meletak jawatan pada awal tahun 2019, perlantikan Tan Sri ke pangkat Panglima Angkatan Tentera menjadi unik apabila diperkenankan oleh Yang DiPertuan Agong ke-16, Sultan Abdullah Ri'ayatuddin al-Mustafa Billah ibni Almarhum Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah yang merupakan ipar kepada Tan Sri Affendi Buang. Isteri Tan Sri, Yang Amat Mulia Tengku Puteri Seri Teja Pahang Hajah Tengku Muhaini binti Sultan Haji Ahmad Shah adalah kekanda kepada Yang DiPertuan Agong.

Seorang bekas penuntut Maktab Tentera DiRaja, beliau menyertai Angkatan Tentera Malaysia sebagai pegawai kadet TUDM sebelum ditauliahkan sebagai Leftenan Muda Tentera Udara pada tahun 1982.

Beliau kemudiannya ditugaskan sebagai juruterbang tempur bermula dengan latihan menggunakan pesawat MB339A buatan Itali.  

Selepas berjaya menamatkan latihan sebagai juruterbang tempur, beliau ditugaskan sebagai juruterbang pesawat A4PTM SkyHawk buatan Amerika Syarikat dalam Skuadron 9 dalam bulan Oktober 1984.

Berdasarkan kemahirannya, beliau dilantik menjadi jurulatih pesawat bermula Julai 1988. 

Apabila TUDM memperoleh pesawat MiG29N Fulcrum buatan Russia, beliau merupakan antara pegawai TUDM yang dilantik mengendalikan projek tersebut. Kemahirannya terserlah sekali lagi apabila beliau dilantik sebagai pegawai teknikal. Kemahiran teknikal pesawat ini diterjemahkan dengan lebih jelas apabila beliau mengetuai penubuhan pasukan akrobatik TUDM Smokey Bandit. 

Pengalaman operasi beliau turut merangkumi operasi pertempuran di mana beliau telah melaksanakan operasi bantuan udara rapat dengan melancarkan serangan udara ke atas kedudukan pengganas komunis.

Pengalaman beliau dalam pentadbiran juga digilap oleh ATM apabila beliau dilantik ke pelbagai penjawatan peringkat strategik. Antara penjawatan yang bersifat strategik sebelum beliau dilantik ke jawatan PTU adalah sebagai Pengarah Perancangan Operasi dan Kontingensi Markas Angkatan Bersama. Kemahiran beliau terserlah apabila beliau dilantik sebagai Panglima Markas Angkatan Bersama, sekaligus menyerlah keupayaan beliau mengatur dan mengurus sebuah angkatan tentera bersifat konvensional yang pada masa sama mempunyai penugasan operasi bukan konvensional. 

Pengalaman ini memberi peluang kepada beliau mendalami ilmu untuk melaksanakan operasi bersama antara ketiga-tiga cabang perkhidmatan, suatu pengalaman yang amat berharga dan penting buat beliau untuk penugasan baru beliau sebagai Panglima Angkatan Tentera kelak.

Pengalaman beliau dalam Angkatan Tentera juga tidak terlepas daripada tragedi. Dalam satu operasi penerbangan dari Kuantan ke Labuan pada tahun 1988, rakan beliau, Lt Wahi Anuar yang menerbangkan sebuah pesawat A4PTM telah hilang dalam perjalanan. Pesawat itu tidak dijumpai sehingga ke hari ini.

Beliau sendiri juga hampir berhadapan dengan tragedi apabila pesawat MiG29N yang dibawa beliau terhempas pada tahun 2004. 

Perlantikan beliau sebagai Panglima Angkatan Tentera bermula pada 2 Januari 2020 menjadikan beliau sebagai Panglima Angkatan Tentera yang ke-21 dan yang kedua daripada TUDM. 

Beliau juga antara 3 anak Sarawak yang pernah dianugerahkan dengan pangkat Lt Jeneral. Sebelum ini, Lt Jen (B) Dato Awie Suboh (Tentera Darat) dan Lt Jen (B) Datuk Stephen Mundaw (Tentera Darat) antara anak jati Sarawak yang pernah dianugerahkan pangkat 4-bintang tersebut.

TLDM AKAN TINGKATKAN COMBAT READINESS KE 75%

Seperti yang kita ketahui Laut China Selatan sedang bergolak dengan konfrantasi antara Kapal-kapal China dan Indonesia. Maka TLDM bertindak melakukan program upgrade dan peningkatan kesiapsiagaan terhadap kapal-kapal perang dari kelas 1 ke 3 bagi menghadapi suasana tak menentu di Laut China Selatan.

Admiral Tan Sri Mohd Reza berkata sebahagian kapal2 TLDM terpaksa di tarik keluar dari operasi demi menjalani program ini bagi mencapai 75% kesiapsiagaan.

Di sebabkan jumlah kapal TLDM modern yang tidak mencukupi maka kapal2 perang yang tidak terlibat dalam program upgrade akan terpaksa bertugas lebih lama di laut bagi menampung kelompongan yang berlaku apabila kapal perang menjalani program upgrade.

Laksamana mengingatkan wira wira laut supaya bersedia secara fizikal dan mental bagi menjalani operasi mempertahankan kedaulatan Negara sepanjang tahun ini.

Mengapakan Readiness ni penting?

Fleet Readiness penting kerana ia meningkatkan peluang pasukan untuk berjaya dalam konflik di laut.

MMP ingin mengucapkan selamat kepada semua anggota TLDM yang akan mengalami tugas getir mempertahankan aset strategik negara dan Zone Ekonomi Eksklusif di Laut China Selatan.

Marhalim bin Abas, Kuala Lumpur - Jane's Defence Weekly
03 February 2020

Malaysia is set to convert two PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI) CN-235 transports into maritime patrol aircraft (MPAs).

General Affendi Buang, the chief of the Malaysian Armed Forces, told Jane's on 31 January that the mission systems on the two aircraft will be provided by the United States under the Pentagon's Maritime Security Initiative (MSI), but provided no further details.

Jane's understands that the mission suite is likely to include the Merlin maritime surveillance system developed by Oregon-based Integrated Surveillance and Defense, Inc (ISD). This system has been installed on three CN-235s, two of which are in service with the Indonesian Navy, the other operated by the Indonesian Air Force.

The Merlin mission equipment includes a maritime surveillance radar, an electro-optical sensor turret, and an electronic support measures system.

SU-30MKM Growlerski in Singapore Airshow 2020 WITH 4 KH31P!

SU-30MKM Growlerski with 4 x KH-31P Anti Radiation Missile, Vympel NPO R-77 missile and a pair of KNIRTI SAP-518 advanced jamming pod is on static display at this year’s edition, affording showgoers the opportunity to study the mighty “Flanker” up close. Of particular interest is the aircraft’s weapons loadout, including four examples of the rarely seen Kh-31 produced by the Tactical Missiles Corporation (formerly Zvezda-Strela) and codenamed AS-17 “Krypton” by NATO.





The SAP-518 is an advanced jamming pod intended for heavy strike fighters such as Russian Air Force Sukhoi Su-30MK, and Su-32/34 and Indian Air Force Su-30MKI. Its primary mission is to jam advanced air defenses during ground attack missions imitating electronic signatures of various aircraft while generating false targets within enemy sensors. The SAP-518 covers NATO surface-to-air and air-to-air threats in the G-J bands and is deployed in two underwing or wingtip pods. Installed on a single aircraft along with the SAP-14 jamming pod is considered similar to the United States ALQ-99 jamming system installed on the EA-6B Prowler and EA-18G Growler electronic attack aircraft. The electronic warfare system has been developed and manufactured by the Kaluzhsky Scientific Research Radio-Technical Institute (KNIRTI).

Sipri reported that Malaysia have about 150 KH-31. The Kh-31 (Russian: Х-31; AS-17 'Krypton') is a Russian air-to-surface missile carried by aircraft such as the MiG-29 or Su-27. It is a sea skimming cruise missile with a range of 110 kilometres (60 nmi; 70 mi) or more and capable of Mach 3.5, and was the first supersonic anti-ship missile that could be launched by tactical aircraft.
There are several variants, it is best known as an anti-radiation missile (ARM) but there are also anti-shipping and target drone versions. There has been talk of adapting it to make an "AWACS killer", a long-range air-to-air missile. (this are probably bullshit though.. )

In many respects the Kh-31 is a miniaturised version of the P-270 Moskit (SS-N-22 'Sunburn') and was reportedly designed by the same man.The missile is conventionally shaped, with cruciform wings and control surfaces made from titanium. The two-stage propulsion is notable. On launch, a solid-fuel booster in the tail accelerates the missile to Mach 1.8 and the motor is discarded. Then four air intakes open up and as in the Franco-German ANS/ANF the empty rocket case becomes the combustion chamber of a kerosene-fuelled ramjet, which takes it beyond Mach 4.

KUALA LUMPUR, March 24 -- Beginning today, drones will be used nationwide to control and monitor people's movements during the movement control order (MCO) period, said Chief of Defence Force, Tan Sri Affendi Buang.

He said the technology will be used in 12 areas which have been identified as hotspots for COVID-19 cases, including Lembah Pantai and Titiwangsa.

"The use of drones will help control movement more efficiently and these drones can quietly hover in place and through areas which are inaccessible to the Armed Forces.


"At the same time, speakers have been attached to the drones to disseminate messages in three languages namely Malay, Chinese and Tamil, for the public to stay at home," he told reporters after launching the usage of drones at the Brickfields District Police Headquarters here today.

Situasi di Laut China Selatan

Minggu ini kita melihat pergerakan kapal penggempur amfibia USS America (LHA-6) bersama kapal kruiser peluru berpandu USS Bunker Hill (CG-52) memasuki zon ekonomi eksklusif Malaysia khususnya berhampiran kapal penggerudi telaga minyak West Capella yang dimiliki oleh Seadrill dan dikontrakkan untuk kerja eksplorasi oleh Petronas.

West Capella yang berada di medan minyak baharu itu sejak bulan Oktober tahun lepas telah menyebabkan pihak China dan Vietnam bertindak menghantar kapal peronda mereka untuk memantau aktiviti disekitar kawasan tersebut.

Peningkatan aktiviti oleh China ditambah dengan kemasukan kapal peninjau dasar laut Haiyang Dizhi 8 yang kini melaksanakan tugasan pencerap dasar laut berhampiran dengan West Capella. Haiyang Dizhi 8 diiring oleh lebih 10 buah kapal militia dan pengawal pantai dan didapati bergerak dalam garisan lurus berbolak balik, disyaki ia sedang menunda sonar. Kapal yang sama juga melakukan aktiviti berkenaan di perairan Vietnam dan mencetuskan ketegangan antara pengawal pantai kedua negara.

Dengan kemasukan USS America dan USS Bunker Hill, ia menunjukkan Washington serius dengan kenyataan mereka sejak minggu lepas yang mendesak Beijing untuk menghentikan aktiviti mereka dan tidak membuli negara-negara pesisir kerana kelihatan Beijing cuba mengambil kesempatan dalam keadaan negara pesisir kini dilanda wabak Covid19.

Walaubagaimanapun, aturgerak kapal oleh angkatan laut Amerika kali ini mendedahkan kekangan yang turut dihadapi USN. Dalam keadaan serantau yang tidak menentu, kebiasaannya USN akan mengatur gerak angkatan kapal pengangkut pesawat ke titik panas, tetapi kali ini ia berbeza kerana USN kini terikat dengan 4 buah kapal pengangkut pesawat yang beroperasi sepenuhnya manakala baki yang lain sedang menjalani baikpulih jangka panjang, tidak termasuk kapal yg dikuarantin akibat wabak.

Peningkatan aktiviti maritim di Laut China Selatan bukanlah sesuatu yang baru dan ia berterusan sejak sebelum wabak melanda lagi. Ketika mana China berhempas pulas mengekang penularan wabak, angkatan militia laut dan pengawal pantai mereka terus aktif. Malah kapal peronda pengawal pantai yang paling besar, CCG5901 juga tetap berada didalam perairan EEZ negara kita ketika wabak mula2 melanda, dan walaupun mereka tidak membuat kacau ia jelas menunjukkan aktiviti menunjukkan kehadiran tidak berkurang. Kehadiran kapal mereka di perairan Luconia juga tidak berkurang.

Kami dimaklumkan, aset TLDM dab APMM juga berada dekat dengan West Capella dan turut memantau persekitaran EEZ kita.

Dengan kekangan aset maritim yang kritikal, Malaysia sejak dahulu menghadap ancaman pencerobohan kawasan perairan dengan menggunakan kapal yang sudah berusia purata 45 tahun dan penggantian kapal baru yang sebelum ini berjalan lancar, tergendala kerana perubahan pentadbiran kerajaan dan terus tergendala akibat penularan wabak covid19. Malaysia yang kini hubungan diplomatik dengan China kembali pulih dilihat tidak juga memperlahankan Beijing untuk meneruskan tekanan mengesahkan hak milik Laut China Selatan dan semua pulau dan beting pasir serta karang yang ada.

Kita melihat pertambahan kapal CCG dan kemudian kehadiran armada PLAN ke EEZ kita sebenarnya lebih menjurus kepada memperkukuh tuntutan mereka keatas Laut China Selatan serta terdapat kemungkinan underwater survey yg mereka laksanakan adalah bertujuan serampang dua mata - komersial dan menafikan tuntutan pelantar benua yg telah diperakui dan disahkan sebagaimana disebut UNCLOS , dan West Capella hanyalah sebagai punca untuk mereka datang kemari.

Pergerakan armada CCG bersama kapal survey dan armada USN dalam masa sekarang ini berkemungkinan mencetuskan insiden tidak diingini walaupun pihak AS menyatakan mereka telah pun berinteraksi dan berkomunikasi dengan kapal2 CCG disana dengan sikap professional, ia tetap tidak menjamin keadaan akan kekal tenang.

Amerika masuk bukan sebab mereka rasa kita negara penting tetapi memang lumrah hakikat yg sejak sekian lama, apa saja pergerakan armada China pasti akan ditimbal balas dengan pergerakan armada Amerika. Hakikatnya Amerika tidak juga mahu hilang pengaruh dirantau sebelah sini dek China. China ada kepentingan dan begitu juga Amerika Syarikat. Malaysia hanyalah alasan untuk mereka bertindak.

Isu pencerobohan dan gangguan angkatan laut dan pengawal pantai asing keatas aktiviti sah didalam EEZ kita bukan perkara baru.

Sebelum China menambak pulau buatan di Fiery Cross lagi mereka dah menganggu kita dan jelas, sejak dari mula peningkatan aktiviti maritim oleh China keatas EEZ kita, kerajaan lama, kerajaan baru dan kerajaan baru baru masih dilihat memandang enteng keselamatan dan pertahanan negara kita.

Kita sudah sedia maklum, TLDM dan APMM kekurangan kapal peronda malah kapal sedia ada saiznya jauh lebih kecil berbanding kapal pengawal pantai China yang terbesar dengan berat 12 000 tan, berkali ganda lebih besar dari frigate dan OPV kita dalam TLDM. Pertukaran kerajaan tempoh hari selepas PRU dan kemudian percaturan polisi kerajaan baru yg huru hara sehingga memperlihatkan negara yg dahulu sahabat menjadi musuh ekoran cakap2 seorang Perdana Menteri serta Menteri Luar yang langsung sibuk dengan hal meratifikasi undang2 antarabangsa yg tak terpakai dinegara kita menambah garam dan kunyit pada luka lama TLDM dan APMM.

Sedang negara serantau memperkukuh dan menambah aset peronda, kita disebabkan politik memperlihat program modenisasi tergendala, perolehan kapal dihentikan dan seterusnya kita berada pada keadaan kita sekarang - berhadapan dua medan pencerobohan asing dalam perairan negara kita dengan kekangan aset yang amat ketara.

Dulu ramai mengejek, kita nak berperang dengan siapa?

Sekarang anda yang mengejek dulu bercempera nak kerajaan, nakkan tentera ambil tindakan, tapi anda jugalah dulu yang menafikan hak tentera untuk mendapatkan kelengkapan yang sepatutnya atas alasan - kita nak berperang dengan siapa....
