Rather, it is Fennec AS550Originally posted by fkh:As for Helicopters:

It has offically retired last year, all of them
AS332 is not really armed, it is more to logistics and SAR usage -
Wow ...u all forgot to add the AAM and those oerlikon aa guns?..=p
they belong to RSAF as well i suppose
wow SAF seems to be a little overequipped lol
but its better to be over equipped then to be under equipped =D -
Is it really wise to be discussing inventory even if it is disclosed? Some tongues might slip in the process. Even if some things are disclosed, how would you know they're accurate unless you have some fools to confirm them for you?
-
The nos are quite accurate as purchase of aircrafts are disclosed, but then everyone needs to be cautious though. That's why I have no intension of adding missiles as they are quite senitive stuffOriginally posted by Obersturmfuhrer:Is it really wise to be discussing inventory even if it is disclosed?

Thats not the point. The point is any Tom Dick or Harry can write a report that may or may not be accurate. All that report needs is somebody to verify it.
I can, for example, write about how many Battalions we have and what roles they play. It may or may not be accurate but I can claim it's from detailed studies and from disclosed sources. All I need now is someone from within to confirm what I've written is accurate. Having done that, it allows for me to update my personal intel. Lame as it may seem but this is one of the methods foreign powers used to gather intel. Dun believe me? Ask the soviets. -
u dun wan to know how many of the aircrafts there are actually "battle ready"

The problem, it is the disclosed info from the book. The entire world knows it, so how can they stop this info from passing around?
