Southeast Asian (ASEAN) Machinery Of War Discussion Thread

Regarding the F16, what is the earliest AMRAAM it carried? Cause these things should come ASAP.
Also is there any chance of Bangladesh being part of this? From experience a Crotale would do nicely as SPAA.

This specfic F-16 got AIM-120Cs first iirc. But it probably wouldn’t come soon anyway, as it is equipped with AN/APG-83 AESA radar.
More likely is the Thai (e)MLU which could be added any time with just AIM-120B and AN/APG-68(V)9.

I’m waiting working another ASEAN aircraft

  • JAS39 Gripen C (Thailand)
  • F-15SG (Singapore)
  • A-4S Skyhawk (Singapore)
  • Northrop F-5S (Singapore)
  • Strikemaster Mk 84 (Singapore)
  • F-16C Block 52 (Singapore)

as in vehicles from Bangladesh being grouped up in ASEAN? probably not considering Bangladesh isnt an ASEAN member, probably would be best to group them up with SAARC with other South Asian countries (although without India)

AN/APG68v9 would still be quite strong, I would say it coming with J11B and early typhoon, since they are quite similar in terms of radar, but JAS39C is also an option.

Hello, I would just like to share my recently approved for posting suggestion for the SIAI-Marchetti AS.211 “Warrior” that saw service in both Singapore & Philippines, please do check it out!

One of the few rare instances where SEATO members met in Exercise Cope Thunder 1984 with Philippine Air Force & Royal Thai Air Force F-5 in the front with Royal New Zealand Air Force A-4K Skyhawk and a Royal Australian Air Force C-130.

Anyone going to the Zhuhai air show? More details of VT4s should come out, as well as the new IFVs purchased by Thailand.

I cant help but imagine how painful this is compared to that Japanese MLRS lol, hopefully it can actually be angled downwards a bit better

Anyways, my 2 proposals for the AUH/H-76 ‘Eagle’ and ASCOD II Command Vehicle were both passed. Hopefully you guys can also check it out!

Finished my Royal Malaysian Air Forces Sub-Tree suggestion, its now pending. I can already say in advance that this Sub-TT is relatively small and not super spectacular, but still offers one or two interesting vehicles, which can be part of an ASEAN (Sub-)Tech Tree.

Planning to start with an Malasian Ground Forces Sub-Tree soon, already have some ground vehicle Suggestions done / pending.

i mean if the truck version can look straight forward i would presume that the PT-76 MLRS one can, since theyre using an identical MLRS system

Its kind of the same with the Philippine Army’s old domestic rocket program (which was more propaganda than actual research) that led to this Mobile Assault Rocket Combat Operation System ‘Sumpak’ mounted on the back of a DMC Jeep.

Yeah, quite notable, Su27 series are huge even compared to F15s, never mind F16s.
