Someone making a sales pitch..i guess
-
Sales? S300 SAM systems, MRLS, SU-35, tanks.............what else?
-
Su-35 fighters is the most advance fighter that the Russian could offer, should be able to counter the Su-27/30s that our neighbours has or has already ordered but we might have difficulty in intergating with the western system we have & it also does not come cheap.
I think we should look at the TMD system ,the S-400, the more advance system of the S-300, this system has 2 time the range (400km)as compare to the S-300(200km).
It is said to be able to engage manned a/c, UAV ,ballistic missile & even tomahawk cruise missile and tested successfully in 2000 and certainly be cheaper than the Patriot & Arrow system which incidently need the US govt approval for sales which most probably not be granted since the American usually does not want to be the first to introduce new military capability to the region. -
I think other than buying the S-400 for long range air defence and fighter jets like the SU-35 for long range aerial interception, I don't think there is anything else that the Russians can offer that is revelant to Singapore's defence any time soon. Agree?

Next stop for Ivan : LIMA! $$$$$

Wah buy the S-400 win liao loh....just take of 10 fighters and 2 AWACS can cover most of Malaysia and Sumatra(thats the island i think)Their planes take of kenna shoot at liaozzz

I am sure the the SAF will have other concerns in mind other that the countries bordering Singapore.I predict that its just a matter of time when more Asian countries acquired short to medium ranged ballistic missiles. As for ten fighters and 2 AWACS to cover such a large area, i don't think its very lightly. Firstly, we must not under estimated the Malaysian air force,they have been mordernising rapidly. Secondly i think we also need a tanker to enable the ten fighters to stay airborne for longer periods of time. Otherwise we will need more planes to rotate them. Pilots do need to eat and rest right?

At any one time dude....and since we have 3 AWACS(i think) and some 50 fighters and some tankers we can mantain our airdefence indefinately plus it'd be cheaperOriginally posted by tankee1981:I am sure the the SAF will have other concerns in mind other that the countries bordering Singapore.I predict that its just a matter of time when more Asian countries acquired short to medium ranged ballistic missiles.

Dun be crazy. The S-400 will invite malaysia to purchase similar weapon which can cover the whole of Singapore. We shall purchase it after malaysia make the first move.Originally posted by tankee1981:I think other than buying the S-400 for long range air defence and fighter jets like the SU-35 for long range aerial interception, I don't think there is anything else that the Russians can offer that is revelant to Singapore's defence any time soon.

Read from Air Force Monthly that sukhoi developed a jet propulsion UAV for future use in the russian military.Originally posted by NeonTetra:OH......how i miss this place....
Could be the good minister himself is drumming around for business to finance further development or looking for a sponsor in exchange for TECH-NO-LOGY transfer seeing as how we so interested in UAV's. -
