You sure fighter aircraft from Europe??? MINDEF keeps a tight lip until they offically announceOriginally posted by Manager433:Sg $ vs US $ now not bad. Our Sg $ going strong. So make sense if buy from US.
THe next new generation fighter will not be the F15, trust me!
Certain weapons are back in mother land...who told you they r still in the states?
Weapons comin up next will be MLRS, new light tanks, fighter a/c from Europe, frigates, subs etc etc.
Well... Any last minute things may also affect the decision... So we shall wait and seeOriginally posted by Manager433:Wait and see loh.
like my guys in the snq says:"this is the air force, anything could happen"Originally posted by sbst275:Well... Any last minute things may also affect the decision... So we shall wait and see
Just like the Sth Korea... Rafale was in the lead, but because of the last min approval of weapons, they chose the F-15Originally posted by martin_lim85:like my guys in the snq says:"this is the air force, anything could happen"![]()

RSAF currently has the A-4(soon to be scrapped), F-5 & F-16, all from the US. if we are not good terms with US & they simply refuse to sell us spare parts/components for our F-5 & F-16, then we are doomed.Originally posted by sbst275:You sure fighter aircraft from Europe???

In 2003, 50 of our AIM 120C AAMs arrived in Singapore.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Weapons is US?If nt wrong I belief we only have the AIM-120 in US,which will be delievered to us when things go hot.
.
No - MY took delivery of its F/A-18C Hornet in 1997.Originally posted by SpecOps87:Is tt so?Hmmz.not too sure,muz have missed the news report.Anyway...is it due to the purchase of F/A-18s by the Matlanders?
No - MY took delivery of its F/A-18C Hornet in 1997.Yes, agree. We should have got all our AIM-120s back.
Anyway , we should got all of our first batch of AIM 120 back in SG.
AIM 120C -
Deal worth $85-100 m; for F-16 and possibly F-5S combat aircraft; stored in USA until 2003 when delivered to Singapore after China and Viet Nam introduced similar AA-12 missiles in 2002/2003
We are in the JSF program not because we intend to shop American. In my opinion, I suspect it's more because there aren't any other fighter aircraft programmes in the same class as the JSF & F-22 that Singapore can join easily.Originally posted by sbst275:Then why we are in the JSF prog???
