Rosomak armoured vehicle: RM31 Million + (Malaysia government price with 80% kickback)
Fine, I know we are a tiny and insignificant country, so we need some armoured vehicles to defend the country, who knows if these vehicles can fire any bullets because our submarine can't even submerge!! I try to make a rough calculation on the unit cost of our Rosomak armoured vehicles by using my Nokia phone just now, and you know what? The number got too many zeros till I can't input 8 billion in it. Probably that kind of setting is not for Nokia users, they don't expect Nokia users can do a billion RM deal, perhaps Vertu phones can...
(M1 Abrams Heavy Tank: USD6.2 Million, assume is USD7 million for a fully loaded unit with the mounted 50 calibre machine guns on the turret)
Ok, so assume the cost is USD7 million per unit for the M1 Abram tank, assuming RM3.30 = 1USD even though it is Rm3.2x now, then the unit price is about RM23.1 million per unit. Have a close look on these two war machines. Just tell me, honestly, which one you are going to choose? The Rosomak? Or the M1 Abrams tank?
I never 'test drive' a M1 tank before, but I can tell you, with my experience on playing PC game, the M1 is a very advanced tank, their armor is so thick and it is not that easy to blast the whole tank, it was like the fearsome Tiger tank during WWII. I don't know la, I think even 3 yrs old kid also can tell which one is better by looking at the photos. And we are paying "RM31 million" for a armoured vehicles? These people on the top are really way too GREEDY!!!
