Parliament: More soldiers to patrol public areas; SAF redoubles counter-terrorism efforts


Military Security officer on patrol at Changi Airport Terminal 2, on March 23, 2016

SINGAPORE - Soldiers will be far more visible in public areas as the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) steps up Singapore's fight against the terrorist threat.

Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen announced that the SAF will train more units to carry out deterrence patrols in crowded areas.

Currently, soldiers patrol only key installations such as Jurong Island and Changi Airport.

This is to ensure that the military can deal with orchestrated attacks, such as those in Paris and Brussels, in hot spots such as the airport, MRT stations, shopping malls and town centres, said Dr Ng in Parliament on Thursday (April 7).

The new move is part of the SAF's redoubled efforts to counter terrorism, said Dr Ng, who unveiled to the House the battleplan to "respond decisively" to the threat.



The SAF will build a "high density" mock city, complete with high-rise buildings and road networks, to conduct "highly realistic" counter-terrorism training, said Dr Ng.



It will also boost the firepower of its special forces troops, the first responders in counter-terrorism and other contingency operations.

Dr Ng said that the SAF will equip troops in the Special Operations Task Force with better tactical sensors like micro unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), which are "small enough to fit in your palm and well suited for urban terrains".

To bring to bear the "full strength" of Singapore's security capabilities, Dr Ng said the SAF will also work closely with the Home Team to share intelligence and develop joint operational command systems.

During the debate of his ministry's budget, Dr Ng said Singapore must gear up for "troubled peace", adding that it has to maintain steady defence spending.

Among the new war machines that will be added to its arsenal, the army will launch a new Protected Combat Support Vehicle to ferry and better protect its support troops.



To better thwart cyber threats, the SAF will also beef up its cyber defence by doubling the number of troops in the Cyber Defence Operations Hub by 2020.

As part of efforts to make up for its shrinking manpower and sharpen its technological edge, the SAF will be launching a new scholarship to attract the top engineering minds and grow its pool of military engineers.

Russian servicemen test high-speed military Internet in Syria operation



MOSCOW, April 7. /TASS/. Russian servicemen tested high-speed military Internet and advanced communications systems during the anti-terrorist operation in Syria, the United Instrument-Manufacturing Corporation’s press office told TASS on Tuesday.

The United Instrument-Manufacturing Corporation, part of Russia’s state hi-tech corporation Rostec, is the developer of this technology.

"The work of advanced ground communications systems was tested in the real combat operation in Syria. In particular, Russian servicemen used R-169 and P-380K tactical systems that are digital means incorporating cutting-edge communications technologies," the press office said.

According to the press office, the systems allow units to operate in the single information field and ensure the work of the high-speed military Internet.

"The systems have been recognized as reliable and efficient. They meet the requirements of the modern armed forces," the press office added.

su-35?

upgraded MKM would have been a better option

there is a plan for 2nd batch of MKM when newer radar is available
but that was way back then

it would be before long before the current mkm would need upgrade as well

new radar is available as well now just that no political commitments

Mkm unlikely to be available.

kudus... hope nothing unwanted happen... will be very bad for the region

not even if get 24?

SAF to beef up firepower, personnel for fight against terrorism: MINDEF

if according to the blue print should be MKM2 iinm
with AESA radar

but like I said, old story!

let get over with the MMRCA first

blue-tipped P90 is using blank rounds?

whats the story with this car now? Looks like tricked out Casspir or someth... but I can see 6x6 version?

read from internet....
new AESA radar available, but it use much more electric power, than current su-30mkm engine have to upgrade new engine which more power trust, means more electric power.
AL-31FP have too upgrade to AL-31F M2 in future

I meant indonesian SAKTI (acronym for Sistem Angkut Kelengkapan Tempur Individu). I think they give more thought on the load-bearing aspect of body armor rather than just copying IBA pattern (like ours). I feel like we're mixing and matching equipment as it's not uncommon to see soldier with body armor with belt rigs instead of utilizing the attachment grid on the body armor itself

no idea... never seen one in saf before..

you mean the top one?
