at first glance they do look like FN FAL.... but could they be HK 33's instead? :o I thought the Galil is based on the Valmet which is based on the AK-47 family of rifles? |

One thing is sure sharfs, they are all AK-47 'improvements' - proof of the AK's inherent sound design. |

well ....i think it all a mix up...FNC 5.56 is derive from the 7.62mm version which is derived from the FN-FAL...so the lineage is i guess not connected directly to the AK series. the GALIL is derived from the AK ...as is the FINNISH VALMET ....and GALIL spawned the SOUTH AFRICAN "R" series rifle and carbines.... HK is derived from the CETME RIFLE... so are the rest of todays assault rifles/carbine...their lineage can be trace to earlier version...even the venerable AK is derived from the WERGHMACHT STG RIFLE...????....WHATEVER IT IS THE BULLETS FIRED WILL STILL KILLS IF NOT INJURED A PERSON EITHER IN PEACE OR WAR!!!!  |

Astig nga ang dating, ba't di ganyan ang itsura ng Scorpion natin? There was one photo of our Scorpion with what looked like an acetylene tank strapped in front.

Indonesia Wants to Buy More Russian Fighter Jets — Official Indonesia, which has been placed under an arms embargo by the United States, plans to buy more fighter jets from Russia and is looking to East European nations for alternative weapons procurement, a senior Indonesian official, quoted by Reuters agency, said on Wednesday, Nov. 24. Before the embargo, about 70 percent of Indonesia’s military weaponry had been imported from the United States, with the air force especially reliant on U.S. equipment, Director-General of Strategy and Defense Sudrajat said. “In the future we are going to add more Sukhois. Hopefully the government can finance this,” said Sudrajat, referring to the Russian-manufactured fighter jet. Indonesia has four Sukhoi fighters now —- two SU-27SKs and two SU-30MKs. “But those four don’t have complete systems ... and those four amount to nothing if we don’t increase,” Sudrajat told Reuters on the sidelines of the Indo Defence international arms and defense exposition. “We hope to have one squadron, 12 to 16,” he said. Asked whether the purchase would be made next year, Sudrajat said: “We will try, if it’s possible in the budget.” Southeast Asian countries such as Thailand, Vietnam and Malaysia are key partners of Russia’s arms exporters, including the state-owned Sukhoi corporation, which produces the SU-30 fighter. An air force official said Indonesia has 12 U.S.-made F-16 jet fighters but fewer than two thirds are fully functional. More here |
