Book preview: Astros II rocket artillery

Eksesais Jengking Selatan means Exercise Southern Scorpion in the Malay language.

It is the name of an actual deployment exercise by the Malaysian Army's Briged Artileri Roket, which is a formation I met in Kuala Lumpur and Port Dickson during past Malaysian Armed Forces (MAF) static displays.

Join gunners from Regiment 52 as the entire rocket artillery regiment moves south by convoy from their camp in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia to deployment areas at the other end of the peninsula.

It is impossible to hide such road transits as people would inevitably see and film their movements in peacetime. Read about how the MAF leverages on social media as it telegraphs its deterrence posture as Jengking Selatan unfolds.

Gunners from Regiment 52 play a key role in the fictional story. Their regiment is featured in one nightime and two daytime action scenes as artillery, King of the Battlefield, makes its presence felt. How do they survive for so long? Find out in the book. 

Tangkas Gempur!
