The current accuracy of precision weapons mitigates such passive defences to almost useless in the even of a first strike.<br /><br />Distance is their ally and not the structures themselves.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03068888028320771536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-29540553296241746212016-09-16T14:12:07.073+08:002016-09-16T14:12:07.073+08:00It's to note that Malaysian competitors are no...It's to note that Malaysian competitors are not only limited to south but also from her west and north. All of them are building up/modernising their Air assets. Hence, it's reasonable for them to implement such programs to close their gaps. However, as technology advanced will such be still relevant? Also, strategically are they able to keep up with the development(military) in the region?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11253981155775303874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2348464617577736454.post-75601012635882396962016-08-13T09:22:14.846+08:002016-08-13T09:22:14.846+08:00I think that it is only expected that neighbours w...I think that it is only expected that neighbours will develop such defensive structures. Hence, our systems and munitions have to evolve in tandem; not that it has not as many of the long range ones are still under wraps. Note: SAF likes to show its shiny defensive assets and not its extra shiny offensive ones as the average joe in neighbouring countries tends to not understand the implications of the lack of strategic depth.<br /><br />As for Malaysia, it is the least they could do to compensate for the gaps in air defence. Against a more capable air power, RMAF will have no choice but to use its air assets sparingly, surrender air space and hide its limited aircraft most of the time.<br /><br />It justifies our huge investment in the SAF to deliver knock-out blows.Locusthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10792706351181014575noreply@blogger.com
