Our EEZ area is large\u2026 to patrol all areas especially when there are overlapping claims, including by China\u2026we need additional assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3314475734161595\" data-ad-slot=\"7610079946\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe EEZ gives a country the right to explore and use its marine resources. Unfortunately, many fishermen from foreign countries have encroached into our EEZ. Foreign coastal patrol boats and naval ships are also reported to often enter the area,\u201c he told Bernama recently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The RMN was currently operating with four LMS, he said, but added that he was made to understand that MAF Commander Gen Tan Sri Affendi Buang had registered the project on the acquisition of the LMS, which is capable of carrying out various missions, such patrolling, surveying and surveillance of maritime areas, in the Third Rolling Plan of the 12th Malaysia Plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the procurement of 18 light combat aircraft (LCA) for the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF), Leong said he hoped that there would not be any delay in the purchase by the Defence Ministry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe RMAF needs the LCA to train fighter jet pilots in supersonic flight and air warfare tactics compared to the multi-role combat aircraft (MRCA), such as the F\/A-18D Hornet and Sukhoi Su-30MKM. The operating cost of LCA is also much cheaper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"441\" data-src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?resize=640%2C441&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6436 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?w=954&amp;ssl=1 954w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?resize=768%2C530&amp;ssl=1 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 640px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 640\/441;\" \/><noscript><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"640\" height=\"441\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?resize=640%2C441&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-6436\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?w=954&amp;ssl=1 954w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?resize=300%2C207&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mymilitarytimes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/image_editor_output_image1342238100-1664597450365.jpg?resize=768%2C530&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is also an early step to prepare pilots with sufficient skills and experience before handling the MRCA assets in the future which will be empowered through the RMAF Capability Development 2055 or CAP55,\u201c he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He referred to the capability of the LCA Hawk 208 subsonic aircraft in intercepting 16 Chinese military transport IL-76 and Xian Y-20 aircraft that entered the Malaysian Maritime Zone airspace and approached the country\u2019s airspace last May 31.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/mymilitarytimes.com\/index.php\/2021\/06\/16\/strengthening-military-assets-vital\/\" target=\"_blank\">READ ALSO: Strengthening Military Assets Vital<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This proves the procurement of the LCA is necessary, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe LCA aircraft is dual-functional as it can be used for training purposes and at the same time for patrol and to intercept any threat of foreign air force invasion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<script async=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js\"><\/script>\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" style=\"display:block; text-align:center;\" data-ad-layout=\"in-article\" data-ad-format=\"fluid\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3314475734161595\" data-ad-slot=\"7610079946\"><\/ins>\n<script>\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\n<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThus, in order to support the national defence policy that is based on concentric deterrence strategy, it is appropriate that ATM be equipped with sophisticated assets.
