great photos, can someone tell me who makes Malaysian heavy military equipment? It looks unique.
Malaysian military are particularly unique in my opinion. Their recent foreign military hardware acquisition had always been modified to the edge. Where budget restriction always hinders them from acquiring them in large quantities.
BAE Hawk 200 - Air interdiction and ground strike capabilities, long range deployment - these baby were originally an advanced jet trainer
Pt-91m tank - New engine, fire control system, slovak gun and comm system
Su-30 mkm - French, South African and Russian combination of avionics and warning sensors
Aside from the usual removal of israeli hardware, these mods slaps a hefty price tags on 'em. Anyone care to explain?
