SINGAPORE: Singapore's air defence network has received an added boost, thanks to a high-tech missile system aboard its navy's frigates.

The Republic of Singapore Navy (RSN) stealth frigates are equipped with the Aster Surface-to-Air Missile (SAM) system, which has a range of up to 30 kilometres.

Minister for Defence Teo Chee Hean witnessed the inaugural live firing of the Aster missile onboard the newly commissioned RSS Intrepid in Toulon, France, with Chief of Navy Rear-Admiral Chew Men Leong.

The Ministry of Defence says the well-equipped vessels form the core of the Third Generation RSN's fighting group.

The minister is in France on a working visit from 1-5 April. - CNA/yb/ir

Average anti-ship missile eats up 30km in abt 2 mins. If you ask me, I think we needed the 50km version.
