now that even nurmisuari (total hypocrite, this one) has disowned his own merry men, and MNLF aint gonna give much shyt abt these units that attack zambo, it's gonna be open season for philippines army/police (them rebels are getting low on ammo methink)

The disadvantage of the Osprey due to it's huge propeller that it cannot be fitted with machine gun on either side of the air frame. It can only be fitted with a machine gun on the rear ramp door. BAE offered the "Belly Gun" as a solution.

SAF to buy Aster-30 surface-to-air missile system
By Goh Chin Lian | 16 September 2013 Monday | 2:30 PM

The Singapore Armed Forces will buy a new Aster-30 surface-to-air missile system, to boost Singapore’s air defence shield.

Announcing the acquisition on Monday in Parliament, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said advanced militaries in France and Italy use the new system, which is “many times more potent” than the current I-Hawk ground-based air defence system.

“The Aster will allow us to engage multiple threats simultaneously and from a longer distance,” Dr Ng said, adding that the new system will complement a mobile and shorter-range ground-based air defence system known as Spyder.

He was responding to Nee Soon GRC MP Lim Wee Kiak on the Republic of Singapore Air Force’s (RSAF) operational readiness with the planned relocation of Paya Lebar Airbase to Changi East at around 2030. Dr Ng did not say how much the move, which was announced last month, would cost.

The RSAF is also looking to upgrade its fighter fleet, such as modernising the avionics system and extending the lifespan of the F-16s.

The advanced capabilities being built up gave Mindef and SAF the confidence to move Paya Lebar Airbase, following a 2011 study of capabilities and security threats for the long term, Dr Ng said.

“We satisfied ourselves that our security would not be compromised and that relocation of PLAB could take place after existing airbases at Changi East and Tengah have been expanded to accommodate relocated assets and facilities,” he said.

He added that the move will be costly, but will yield “billion dollars’ worth of positive returns to the people in Singapore” in terms of land released for development and the removal of height restrictions in the area.

Oh so nice sg going to get ground base aster.

Too bad it out of malaysia budget.
It would be nice if we go for saab bamse

yinchet my mistake, our ATM is 80 years old today

why wouldnt sg go for russia made s300 if money is not the problem? much longer target range

they already using aster 15 and aster 30 on their frigates.
could be easier integration onto surface platform.

also not much love for soviet/russian stuff on their part.

No idea bro.

iron dome better...

time for M'sia to counterattack too..imo, BUK-M2E is not that expensive for us..

True we in dire need of the medium and long range air defence system
but still the argument of who should bear it ady resolved? army or air force?

i thought army's GAPU handles all ground-to-air defences?
