Air force aggressor units
-
Hi everybody, don't you think that Singapore should set up aggressor units flying Russian aircrafts so that we can learn to counter potential threats. And what do you think of SG pilots? Do they have more balls than brains? I personally think they have more balls. Why I say that is becos our pilots belly land and stay in the aircraft during that time. And when they burst a tyre, they do the same thing and not ejecting. Really got balls but kinda stupid too. But I still prefer them having balls than brains.

aggressor??? erm, don't think we'd like the world to see as that way
-
even USAF dont use russian fighters for aggressor training... they use their own F5s F16s and israeli kfirs. perhaps borrowing some F15s might work (similar size, capability to su30mk...
-
we are shortage of pilots......
...plus.....our airspace here so limited......might as well go USA and with AFTI company to have aggressor with -
If we can cut a deal with the indian navy to train on, and with, their foxtrot submarines...i sure something can be arranged with the indian air force SU-30s.
Or we can lease SU-30s and pilots from russia on a quarterly basis...i mean if they even rent top-of-line fighter jets out to extreme adventure tourists to fly to the edge of space. Anything is possible with hard cold cash...except that for singapore at the moment it's just not good politics -
Perhaps its the 1206 culture of the SAF that sometimes make people so kiasuOriginally posted by Hornet145:And what do you think of SG pilots? Do they have more balls than brains?

We already borrow USAF's aggressor sqns for training if I am not wrong

302 is the aqua form.
1206 is the form you sign when you've lost/damaged something. -
Pronounced as "Twelve-Oh-Six". Something you don't want the CQ or storeman to say to you when you return eqmt or lack of it after a field exerciseOriginally posted by SingaporeMacross:what's 1206 culture?

US did get Russian jets ages ago, but I'm not too sure whether they use them for training or just strip down to study.Originally posted by wd1:even USAF dont use russian fighters for aggressor training... they use their own F5s F16s and israeli kfirs. perhaps borrowing some F15s might work (similar size, capability to su30mk...
I'm not sure which side we fought on during the red flag exercise but if we fought against German Migs, it will be good. Because I heard they are very good in those. I also heard that they are told not to use the full capability of the aircraft. Don't ask me why.

maybe the migs too powerful so have to give face to the american planes?

As for the luftwaffe migs...from accounts in Air Force Monthly and Code One magazine, they're are really in hot demand everywhere. But then again, don't forget it's former east german pilots who drive those birds. Perhaps there's a 'waiting list' for red flag participants to fight these warbirdsOriginally posted by Hornet145:US did get Russian jets ages ago, but I'm not too sure whether they use them for training or just strip down to study.

No point getting MiGs or Sukhois as adversary birds, no equipment commonality (hence maintenance problems) and it will cost a bundle to re-wire them to the standard required (esp getting them to fit into the EHUD ACMI system RSAF uses).
If we need Aggressors hire an outside company, or even set up our own program with the F-16A/B Vipers. They still have useful life in them, theres sufficient numbers left and their performance is different enough to make furballs against these old Vipers interesting...
As a modeler, I'd sure love Aggressor or Adversary paint schemes on RSAF F-16A/Bs
