I think it is perhaps about time that we had some Israeli high levels officials visit Singapore,perhaps with upgarded and more transparent military ties.We need to show our strength to certain neighbouring states.

You last paragraph will only incite more suspicion and hostility.In case you do not know, the biggest geopolitical threat to SEA is from East Asia.Originally posted by Sardaukar:I do not think the Guards or Cdo's are there for show.Forward defence anyone?
Similarly,given the number of years that has gone by,I'm quite sure Mindef has come up with some silver bullet to counter the ASTROS or at least some measures to reduce its effectivness considerably.
In the meantime,our close friend Israel is developing the Tactical Laser to use against artillery shells.I think something along the lines of that laser defese system could be used as a form of ocuntermeasure against the threat from ASTROS.

First thing , they only have 18,Originally posted by beavan:well if our F-16s go up,and the runways get destroyed..what happens then?
Better still , why don't we just invade and occupy Johore so that SG will be out of range fro Astros!!!Originally posted by idwar:Why not move everything you've got to Hainan Island? There you'll be safe from all ASTROS......better still......Christmas Island !!!!
MLRS is a cost-effective mobile-rocket-based artillery system. It provides MAF's ability to neutralise SAF advantage, esp in the air power.Originally posted by tankee1981:What are the ways to counter or minimise the damage done by a deliberate and sudden saturated rocket strike such as Astros. Do we use our Primus for counter attack or airstrike? How is our Primus compared with Astros?Thanks

I am more concern tat SG's govt start clamping down on all illegal VCD/DVD from Johor after we have occuppied it!!!Originally posted by idwar:You dare to occupy Johor?

Originally posted by idwar:Actually, Johor had been occupied for the last 3 decades by Singapore, primarily by PUB for its water resource and management, then in later by Singaporean investors looking for cheap labours and land.

Not afraid your little boy soldiers get corrupted by xxx-rated VCDs from Holiday Inn?You hv under estimated NS boy resource in getting this adult thingie.
