  our neighbour up north has said tat they dun consider it as a threat of any sort

  What have they got? F-5, Mig-27s, Su-30MKM, F/A-18, and the BAE Hawk.

  With such a diverse array of fighters, I pity their logistics.

  Oh, and don't forget that they specially modified their otherwise noteworthy Su-30s.... reason being that Israeli avionics are not halal.

  Their F-5 gone case liao.

  F/A-18 I ever heard it's limited by its range?

  So is the SU-30 any 'better'?

  I did remember they've 18 MiG-29, 8 F/A-18 and 18 SU-30???

  the only things that will work are the MiGs, the Sukhois, and the F18s..

  the rest are useless now..

  and that 3.. the maintenance is staggering.. add to that the obsolete ones..

  oh well... their waste of money

  Dun say their F-5...

  They purchased some A-4 back in e late 70s... by the late 80s, they were left at 1 corner of 1 air base to rust and rot

  ironically, at another side it underwent upgrading

  The F-5 and the Hawk are both outdated.

  That's why we're going to phase out our own F-5s and going straight for the F-35 to replace them. There's a limit to how much you can zhng them up. The airframes are getting old, anyway.

  Their MiGs are poorly maintained, from what I know.

  The F/A-18 has limited range and firepower, and there have been many complaints about it being a poor sucessor to the legendary F-14 Tomcat.

  I'd only consider their Sukhois to be good.... but since they stupidly decided to take out the Israeli avionics, I think that kinda blunts their edge somewhat.

  Don't need to pity their logistics. They probably outsource the upkeep to family-connected firms; money generating scheme. Actually the more diverse the range of aircrafts the better - can have more firms to service the aircrafts. Can suck more $$$ out!

  *sob*

  Just woken up from a much-needed nap.

  Yesterday's duty was the most horrigible and terrigible duty I had to do.

  Now in addition to all the spoilt generators and engine my ship has, enter the dent at the starboard side after a collision with the wharf and a power failure.
