Malaysian Army to Introduce Airless Tire for all its Wheeled Armoured Vehicles

Malaysian Army first introduce the AT mk I in early 2005, designed by Michelin it doesn’t use a traditional wheel hub assembly.

A solid inner hub mounts to the axle. That’s surrounded by polyurethane spokes arrayed in a pattern of wedges. A shear band is stretched across the spokes, forming the outer edge of the tire (the part that comes in contact with the road). The tension of the shear band on the spokes and the strength of the spokes themselves replace the air pressure of a traditional tire. The tread is then attached to the shear band.

This documentary is a story about the exploits of Malaysia’s first special jungle trooper unit, VAT 69, formed in 1969 specifically to engage the communists in guerilla warfare.



This program provides a new perspective on the war against the Communist insurgence, particularly the untold story about the role of the VAT 69 troopers. Pioneer members of VAT 69 were trained by none other than by the famed British SAS. The intense and harsh training were designed to develop the young men and turn them into tough jungle fighters. They set the benchmark for modern Malaysian jungle fighters and guerilla warfare.

It’s history at its most compelling, as viewers get a rare glimpse into this forgotten period that was marked by great heroism and bloody struggles; one that merits just a passing mention in most school history books. It’s about triumph of the human spirit: one that defined the never-say-die attitude of the VAT 69 troopers.

Among the interviewed are members of the original squadron as well as Sargent Apot - the orang asli tracker who played a vital role, uncovering the enemy’s stronghold and pursuing their every movement. He is a hero who served his country with great honour.

For more than 20 years, VAT 69 battled relentlessly against the communists’ crusade to turn Malaysia into a communist people’s republic. Unfortunately, many lives were lost during this dark and bloody period in the nation’s history. After suffering heavy losses, the communists agreed to lay down their arms in 1989.

This program provides a new perspective on the war against the Communist insurgence, particularly the untold story about the role of VAT 69’s unsung heroes.
