Maybe because they have only the baseline Scorpion model and not the upgunned one...

ganda din ng pix na send mo Sgt Rock. salamat sa inyo.
"Air superiority gray"? Aren't ALL fighter planes gray?
Great pics, specially the new digicam for our Marines
The Singaporeans used it and at that time I believe they were the only ones that went for a barter trade agreement. Plus a small budget blah blah blah. Of and this was bought pre modernization law... now it is listed the equipment bought must be used by at least two Armed Forces.
Yup, never upgunned like what the malaysians did. for the 90mm please look at the V-300 Commandos
what i know 76mm is more suitable for scorpion. 90mm give lots of recoil during firing
