Makes sense for commonality reasons and to show the Yanks we’re willing to buy stuff and not just to accept stuff courtesy of the American taxpayer.
3 years is a long wait for the boys trained in US. I hope they don’t forget their training or worse, resigned, before we receive that radar.
Unless we’re getting the stationary AN/FPS-117 radar set, I can’t fathom why we need to setup a permanent radar base for the TPS-77 since this is a mobile transportable radar that can go anywhere.
I think these Oshkosh Defence trucks got something to do with the radar

Yes its mobile but we tend to fix it at one place as its cheaper to operate it that way. Other users do it the same way, really

Might not be related. The trucks were funded via Fiscal Y2019 to be completed Jan 2022 while the radars are by Fiscal Y2021 to be ready Sept 2025. A huge time gap if these trucks were intended for the radar, if you ask me.
Most of TUDM radars are mobile versions, even the GM403 and RAT31 but we build a dome over them to protect it from the harsh malaysian tropical sunshine and rain.
With the exception of the Hughes HADR all the primary radars we have bought – from the S-600s to the Alenias – were/are mobile but unless there is an actual need, it’s more practical to operate them from fixed positions. When moving them around the primary cobsideration is adequate power supply even if the radars are accompanied by lorry mounted generator.
