Long-distance air defence radar in Bintulu for border control, says Tok Mat


PUTRAJAYA: The GM400 long-distance air defence radar will be installed in Bintulu, Sarawak as the main radar of the Armed Forces to ensure continued border control in the country, says Defence Minister Datuk Seri Mohamad Hasan.

"The procurement of the high-capacity radar will give added value to MAF to protect the borders from being encroached and identify any problems faced in the South China Sea," he told a media conference after the graduation ceremony of the National Resilience College (NRC), MAF Defence College (MPAT) and MAF Staff College (MTAT) 2023 here on Saturday (Dec 9).
