I was told that the Apache was bought using the fund allocated for the army coz it a platform use for supporting the ground force. This reulted in some of the army procurement plans to KIV.Originally posted by Shotgun:It doesnt matter to Singapore whether the apaches belong to Army, RSAF, or RSN.
Probalbly an rbs 70 mounted on an m113Originally posted by tankee1981:Any information on any new anti-aircraft missile systems being bought recently? I guess the missile launcher vehicle is used for AA purposes but I can't be sure. Any comments on a missile launcher on a M113?![]()
Could it be something similar to the Avenger system? Stingers mounted on a M113 chassis? The Crotale, from what I recall, has a similar profile as well, but both are quite unlikely. From what you said, its either a Rapier (Dun think the M113 will remain upright after launching one), Barak (I only know they launch in a vertical profile), or Stinger/Igla.Originally posted by tankee1981:The missile launcher on the the M113 is definitely not a RBS 70 system. Its not the mistral either. It looks somehow like a rapier type of launcher with a small radar dish and two sets of missiles on each side of the machine. I think there is at least 2 on each side but can't be sure.![]()
What about the ADATS SHORAD systems? -Originally posted by tankee1981:The missile launcher on the the M113 is definitely not a RBS 70 system. Its not the mistral either.

i say y dont we mount Spike Anti-tank missiles , a Digital high resolution surveillance camera and Global Position System on a light armour vehicle about the size of Mr bean's cars.its size allows some camouflage in the thick vegetation and can be easily parachuted into hostile areas.All movement will be control and monitor in a mobile command vehicle located faraway.Originally posted by Shotgun:Remote controlled tanks??? KewlllL.. Just like arcade games. Maybe even have a self - destruct switch that detonates the tank.
