SU-30 will not put a good image on us either. We used to be anti - soviet. What's more, are they going to sell missiles to all countries?Originally posted by foxtrout8:Nah, they are not just merely looking for strike aircraft. As i say, there is no way our F-16 by technology (ceteris paribus) can have advantage over the SU-30MK(/) thus im not convince that they are just merely going for strike. While the Australians in this region is frantic about losing gradually their air superiority position, i bet Singapore is worry too.
In fact, the Typhoon and the F-15T with the AESA are primarily designed for air superiority roles with of course good strike capability.
I think we are pragmatic people and we are known to be one. We have russian stuff within our inventory such as the Igla and as i have said, if the SU-30 is so irresistable, we shall purchase the SU-30. We can simply purchase the I-Stinger or even the Starburst from our immediate allies but why Igla? Isnt it because we are pragmatic to know that we shall buy whatever is deem best for us, but not for other reasons.Originally posted by sbst275:SU-30 will not put a good image on us either.

nah i prefer the Eurofighter....the Rafale's engine is just too....weak....and it's well french what do they know about wars?Originally posted by paperduck:so what singaporean military nut wish RSAF to buy?
i feel Rafale is good , well balance between air-air and air-gound.
actually if u want me to choose, i feel very hard also.. cos those 3 are not the best plane in military market. cos we already using F16 CD. it quite hard to find plane that overshine F-16CD too much.

It is the french navy that sucks,not the air force! Remember the Israeli 1967 Six-days War.IDF that time got only the Mirage I and guess what happen? They destroy the entire Arab air force in just first days of war with the mirage.Originally posted by storywolf:The french is bad in reputation, esp the frigate sale to taiwan, they sell them without weapon on board. After that they frighten of china, even went to the extend of disclosure of all detail to china on th e frigate.
Singapore learn from that and make them sign a non-disclosure agreement before we buy our frigates !
If the rafaele is really that good, it will stand on it own and don't need to sweeteners.
