SHAH ALAM: Beretta SMGs out in the wild. Back in June, last year, Malaysian Defence posted about the Army putting back into service a Beretta firearm after a break of some 50 years. In the past it was the AR-70 assault rifle but this time around, it’s the Beretta PMX […]

The MLRS deal is on but needed a better timing
Told you nothing will happen. The minister and the generals are preparing their answers ready when there is a change over in the government. Joke! but there is always the possibility.
I imagine that TNI-AD Leo-2 corps in Pontianak (Kalimantan Barat) then MAYBE MAF rushed to get LHD /amphib vessel + dump a new tank regiment at 1st INF DIV to protect Kuching…if TNI-AD put the same tanks at Balikpapan or Samarinda…hehe Tawau will get a tank camp perhaps?…a nitemare for 1st INF DIV
