Don Chan] A MPA which can hardly able to manouvre carries AtoA missile?
An USN EP-3E ARIES II had a PLAN J-8II Finback air kill, back on 1 April 2001, when China was enemy #1 of USA, instead of some bearded caveman in Afghanistan.
] I’ve seen P-3s and Nimrods carrying Sidewinders.
Such as during the ’82 Falklands unpleasantness.

JASDF possibly chooses F-35 as next F-X, because F-22 isn’t exported.

On 26 June 2008, at 15:03, the Indonesian AF CASA NC-212-200 that disappeared in Indonesia, carried 18 persons: five crew and 12 passengers.
Amongst the 18 persons are: 12 soldiers and six civilians, three of whom are foreigners: a Hongkonger of British nationality, an Indian, and a Singaporean.
In other words, the aircraft probably carried five crew, seven soldiers, and six civies.
The aircraft was testing aerial digital imaging equipment.

has ranks and full names of the crew and passengers. The three foreigners are:
– Kwong Ping Anthony (Britain)
– Mahendra Kumar (India)
– Tan Hong King (Singapore)
(I don’t know whether Kwong or Ping is the Hongkonger’s family name?)
They are engineers/technicians working for Credent Technology. Maybe this:
