Yep , u are right, becos they were scared sh!tOriginally posted by idwar:Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Israel sold their AMX-13 tanks to Singapore because these tanks with their 75 mm guns were unable to penetrate the armour of the T-54 and T-55 during the Six-Day War.
Rumour has it that when the tanks arrived in Singapore, some had blood-stains on them.
it seems the Israelis got rid of their tanks cheap ......but at least they got more than what the scrap yard man offered..............and the tanks put up a great show at the National day Parade........in front of the malaysian DPM....but of course, he was not quite impressed.....

Don't be evil towards our northern friend lah.Originally posted by gary1910:idwar, u trolling just make laugh!!!
MAF is nothing compare to SAF.
1) First thing we have 2x the trained soldiers as compare to MAF.
(350k vs 170k)
2) We have 13.5x of light tanks as compare to MAF. (350 vs 26)
3)We have 2x of IFV/APC as compare to MAF (1400~1600 vs 780)
4) We have abt 5x 155mm Howitzer as compare to MAF.(200 vs 40)
Only thing we dun have MLRS, but our arty overwhelm what MAF have.
5)We have abt 3x more fighter a/c as compare to MAF.(150 vs 46)
And we have Awacs, attack helos and 100+ UAV where RMAF have practically have none.
6)We have 12 missile armed ships and 4 operational subs whereas RMN have 16 missile armed ships. So more or less balanced here.
So just looking at the orbat, of course MY are scared!!!![]()

No, it was rumoured that the SM1 armour was actually upgraded against up to certain medium calibre cannon.Originally posted by Dr Who:0.5 cal bullet can kill AMX-13 ? ( not to mention anti tank weapons)
it seems the Israelis got rid of their tanks cheap ......but at least they got more than what the scrap yard man offeredFrm what my tankee friend said got them at US$1........
Well, if your main armoured divisions are used as homeland security,then I think the war has been lost.Armour is the spearhead of the advance, not the brick wall standing between your enemy and your citizens.Attrition war is something we cannot hold out on.Originally posted by tvdog:Why is being big not important? If the tank is small like the AMX-13 you can't even have enough armour to protect the tank against the lowly RPG.
And how come everyone say that SE Asia terrain and conditions is not suitable for full-sized MBT.
Heavy MBT's have fought in soft snow and sand. No terrain is too soft for tanks - that's why tanks were invented in the first place.
So a tank can't go into the jungle. But Singapore, for example, is probably less than 50% jungle.
