Tiger attack copter option for army


ANOTHER defence industry heavy-weight has entered the race to supply attack helicopters for the Army Air Wing. European Aeronautic Defence and Space (EADS) has offered the Government the Eurocopter Tiger attack helicopter.

Previously, only two companies had shown interest in supplying the helicopters to Malaysia.

Boeing's Apache is a battle-proven helicopter while the Rooivalk by Denel of South Africa has only been tested by the South African Army.

"We felt that this was the right time to offer the Tiger to the Malaysian Government," said EADS Malaysia Sdn Bhd managing director Pierre Jaffre.

About 160 Tigers are currently in service with the French and German armed forces.

If malaysia makes atomic bomb, it will be decleared as Super Power of the Muslim world. :D

Kinda unrelated but what the hey....

a) It still wouldn't make Malaysia a super-power.

b) I like to think 'of the muslim world' has nothing to do with it.

Well, I think Malaysia should buy Ka-50 Hokum, Mi-35 Havoc or Rooivalk as Army attack helicopter.

[Mike Powell]

Well, It's time for Malaysian Army to choose an attack helicopter. But which one, any suggestion?

Stop making these threads!! Webbie has already initiating a ban on these "What should we get? Who is better?" topics. You're not the defence minister of Malaysia, so making up these threads is completely meanless.
