This exercise is divided into three phases, namely the harbour phase at the Lumut Base Berth, the sea phase and the closing phase.

“This exercise is also the best platform as preparation before we participate in a bigger exercise, which is Exercise KAKADU in October next year,” he said after the Opening Ceremony of MASTEX 2017 at the RMN Base, here today.

He said the involvement of the new Australian aircraft, the P8 Poseidon, in this training will enhance RMN personnel’s skills in aircraft management and personnel also have the opportunity to use it.
“Pesawat baharu itu mempunyai keupayaan teknologi canggih mengesan kapal selam dan ini memberikan kelebihan kepada kita.
“That new aircraft has advanced technology capability to detect submarines and this gives us an advantage.
Biarpun kita tidak memiliki pesawat seperti itu, namun berkemungkinan suatu hari nanti kita juga berupaya mempunyai pesawat sebegini,” katanya.
Although we do not possess such an aircraft, it is possible that one day we may also be able to have an aircraft like this,” he said.
