In the book, the Malay term is used with "firestorm" in brackets for non-Malay speakers.
I decided to go with the Malay term because Ribut Api connotes a sense of controlled violence and ferocity that the English translation seems to lack. Ribut Api is also explained in the extensive Glossary. So even if you do not speak Malay, you should be able to follow the story easily as you read about the Malaysian Armed Forces getting down to business.
Join gunners from the airborne-capable 1 Rejimen Artileri Diraja (Para) as they deploy their 105mm Oto Melara Pack Howitzers for a fire mission.
Now, there is one tactical scenario where Malaysian gunners would not face the threat from counter battery fire cued by weapon locating radars. Where would that be? Find out in the book.
Expect more sneak previews of the book (no spoilers) from this blog, kementah.blogspot.com, in the coming days as we count down to the launch.
Days to launch: 13 days (22 November 22). NO PRESALE.
