Military 101: Malaysian and ASEAN Powerful Armoured Personnel Carriers

The now retired SIBMAS 6×6 stands as the premier wheel-based armoured personnel carrier (APC) of its time, though it now shows signs of aging. Remarkably, the Malaysian Armed Forces procured 186 units in the 1980s, making a significant investment based on a prototype model that had yet to be tested in combat. Image source: Wikipedia.

We saw the cancelation of the Romanian election in December 2024, the final month of the Political Year from Hell. Calin Georgescu, who the media declared as a far-right extremist, won the election. The establishment cried, “RUSSIAN INTERFERENCE!” and has refused to acknowledge the results. Tens of thousands of people took to the streets on Sunday to demand President Klaus’ resignation.

The media is not covering this story anywhere as the establishment fears mass civil unrest. The Romanian people are understandably outraged that their government is completely ignoring the democratic process and denying them the right to vote for their future president.

The neocons are behind this utter disregard for democracy. The establishment has blamed Russia and TikTok for interfering in their election. Yet, the clear reason that they will not permit Georgescu to take office is due to his anti-NATO stance.

NATO’s largest exercise for 2025, Steadfast Dart 2025 (STDT25), is taking place in Romania, Bulgaria, and Greece. Over 10,000 allied military personal from nine NATO nations are partaking in this joint exercise. As explained by the Sofia Globe, “The exercise involves air, land, naval and special operations forces; 17 ships; more than 20 aircraft and helicopters, including EF2000, F16, AV 8B HARRIER fighters and A400 transport aircraft; more than 1500 pieces of military equipment, including tanks, multiple launch rocket systems, self-propelled artillery, infantry fighting vehicles (IFVs) and armoured personnel carriers (APCs).”

🇮🇱🇵🇸 ISRAELI DEFENSE FORCES GATHER MORE THAN 40 TANKS AND ARMORED VEHICLES ON THE BORDER WITH GAZA

Israeli Defense Forces is amassing more than 40 tanks, armored personnel carriers and other armored vehicles on the Israeli border with Gaza.

"We are several miles north of the northern border between the Gaza Strip and Israel, and behind me there is a very unusual concentration of Israeli heavy armor," according to Dominic Waghorn, a reporter and Foreign Policy expert for the British news organization Sky News.

Waghorn told Sky News he could count at least 40 Israeli tanks, lined up just north of the Gaza border and extending out of Waghorn's sight.

Waghorn also told Sky News IDF Forces were digging trenches to create cover for artillery positions on the Gaza border. Further, Waghorn noted how in more than 20 years of covering the region, he had never seen such large groupings of Israeli armour in one location, calling the event filled with reporters a "clear show of force."

The death toll among Israelis has risen in excess of 800 as of Tuesday according to Israeli State media organization, Radio Kan.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, Palestinian losses from the heavy Israeli bombardment have amounted to more than 560.

NRK: The Royal House refutes Ingrid Alexandra claims

The Royal House rejects claims in Se og Hør that Princess Ingrid Alexandra is staying longer in the Armed Forces to shield her from her brother Marius Borg Høiby. The tabloid says they have made a mistake and apologise.

The Princess chose the education, which entails 15 months of service already in February, the Royal House told NRK.

Last month, it became known that Princess Ingrid Alexandra is an engineer soldier and a sniper [note: can also be translated to shooter, gunner or sharpshooter] on an armoured personnel carrier and that she will be in the Armed Forces until April next year.

That's because her service position has 15 months of service, and not 12.

Se og Hør has written that the Crown Prince Couple has been the driving force for Princess Ingrid Alexandra to extend her initial service.

On the cover of this week's paper edition, which came out yesterday, the main story is that "the Royal House takes action" and that the Princess is "shielded from the scandals".

In addition, the newspaper wrote last week that the family had been the driving force for her to have the initial service extended "to shield her from Marius and his challenges".

When asked by NRK whether this is true, the Royal House rejects it.

- No, that is not true, writes communications manager Guri Varpe at Slottet in an e-mail to NRK.

She states that it became clear that the Princess will be in initial service for 15 months, and not just 12, already in February.

- The princess applied for and received a service position as an engineer soldier in February 2024, a position that lasts 15 months. This, like the other privates in her team and company, writes Varpe.

- The position has thus not been extended but has a duration of 15 months.

Varpe confirms that the Royal House has been in dialogue with Se og Hør about this.
