What they’ve done on the T-90MS is interesting; OWS, APS, panoramic sight, appliqué armour on the the turret and protection on the flanks and engine compartment (drawn from lessons in Chechnya and Syria). What’s also very interesting is that reliance is not placed on ERA modules. Have no idea if it has a bustle loader.
If only Malaysia could snatch up any deals here. Wouldn't hurt to replenish our sad armoured brigades.

Until we get Russia to admit culpability about MH17, we should never overtly deal with them ever again. Besides, there are plenty of Eastern European states that are fully capable & still producing "Russian" stuff, so we have no need to deal with Russia except for maint of our MKMs.
A few years ago someone told me to de-couple the buying of any probable stuff from Russians to the MH17 saga. I was nonplussed to say the least. Why should I? Am glad Sdr joe here feels the same

19 years of service and still a sergeant? This is a common occurrence here though.
"Have no idea if it has a bustle loader."
No, it is still a carousel. The bustle contains extra ammunition.

Yes especially in the infantry battalions. It is difficult to go for higher rank especially for those who joined in the past with only SRP/SPM unless you take your own time to study. Even then one might not get promoted.
AM - “This is a common occurrence here though”
Very common in most armies actually. Only do many spaces for people of a certain rank. In this case we know he served for 19 years but we don’t know how long he’s been a Sergeant and what was the gap from him transiting from Corporal to Sergeant.
A few years ago the RMN decided to implement a policy of asking all officers who didn’t have a degree to leave. I met a Lieutenant who had to prematurely leave the service as a result of this policy.
While it is not must for the general public, I think its good & encouraging that civil servants are mandatory to be fully vaccinated. The same thing happening in USA, UK, France, Germany etc where personal liberties are enshrined by law and even to the state where antivaxxers are protesting for their rights and suing to keep their jobs.
Its a pity they remain unconvinced, it doesn't help that current vaccines are proven less effective against mutated Covid variants.
