Rentaka's Special Column PDRM Marine Police: Picture abnxcess By: DSP Ahmad Ariffin
Semasa Ops Pasir mula dilaksanakan pada awal tahun 2001, CP Sabah pada ketika itu, telah mengarahkan kapal dan botronda PDRM untuk menembak mana-mana vessel yang tidak mahu berhenti untuk pemeriksaan apabila diminta. Namun tindakan melepaskan tembakan adalah cara terakhir dalam tindakan ROE dan tembakan tersebut tidaklah mendatangkan kematian melainkan pesalah itu terbabit telah melakukan kesalahan yang membolehkan dia dipenjara seumur hidup atau dihukum dengan hukuman mati. Saya semasa itu sebagai Peg Pemerintah kapalronda PX 18 Sri Labuan semasa zaman kuda makan tembaga, telah beberapa kali saya menjalankan ROE yang diarahkan. Memang bot yang dipanggil akan terus berhenti apabila tembakan senjata kecil dilepaskan kearah bow bot tersebut.

Demand for US Air Force spy planes, fighters and bombers from Eastern Europe to the Far East is spiking, and top generals say they’re scrambling to meet commanders’ needs as they struggle with shrinking budgets and keeping old planes flying. Juggling those tasks comes as Air Force brass seek to move beyond the ground wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and establish their service as the Pentagon’s preeminent player. But some analysts believe the military would be better served if the Air Force focused on helping other services fight. By: Wassana Nanuam (www.bangkokpost.com)

Sometime during the spring of 1944, Allied commanders concluded that their air forces had secured air superiority over an area stretching from Great Britain to central France as well as parts of Belgium and Holland. Driving the German Luftwaffe from western European skies was a costly process paid for with the blood of Allied airmen. Though there was no definitive “air superiority” moment, Allied intelligence confirmed pilot reports. Over France, the Luftwaffe had little stomach for a dogfight.

In most instances, military officials convened an accident investigation board to determine the cause. In 18 cases, the drone crashes were so sensitive that the military classified the names of the countries where they occurred and details of what happened. Two hundred and twenty-four drones crashed in Class B accidents that, under current standards, cost between $500,000 and $2 million. Officials withheld basic details about those mishaps, such as the dates and locations, on the grounds that the lesser damage totals did not warrant a public investigation. The military documents do not include information about drones operated covertly by the CIA. The spy agency has its own fleet of about 30 armed Predator and Reaper drones overseas, all flown remotely by Air Force pilots assigned to the CIA. The CIA also flies highly advanced RQ-170 Sentinel surveillance drones, including one that U.S. officials have acknowledged went down in Iran in December 2011. |
