A fleet of F-15SG and F-16 fighter aircraft from The Republic of Singapore Air Force took off into the skies from Lim Chu Kang Road in Exercise Torrent. The 2.5km stretch of highway had been converted to an improvised airstrip. These aircraft took off and landed simultaneously on Lim Chu Kang Road and three other runways in Tengah Air Base. Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen, who observed the exercise, said: "This capability to… launch twelve fighter jets - F-15SGs, F-16s, (with) the F-15SGs for the first time - off Lim Chu Kang Road shows that we can convert a highway to an airstrip.

Russia's New Electronic Warfare System Capable of Disrupting NATO Communications ![]() This system is expected to be a part of the national strategic electronic warfare (EW) system, which is currently being developed in Russia. It can be viewed as an asymmetrical response to the Pentagon's doctrine of a network-centric warfare, the adviser of KRET's first deputy general director Vladimir Mikheev said. The Russian strategic EW system applies a similar approach to defense. "It is meant to disrupt information environment and prevent an adversary from receiving and sending command and goal-oriented information," he explained. A prototype of the KRET's subsystem has successfully passed state trials. It will enter mass production in the near future, the defense contractor noted. KRET's press service did not provide information on when the new EW system will enter service with the Russian Armed Forces, telling Sputnik that it will be unveiled later. The Murmansk-BN complexes, which the new system will control, are aimed at disrupting radio communications at a maximum range of more than 3,000 kilometers (1,864 miles). The jammer is specifically geared at tackling high frequency communications systems, including the High Frequency Global Communications System. The HFGCS is a worldwide network of transmitters which provides command and control communications between ground agencies and US military aircraft and ships. Washington's military partners in NATO are said to have access to this network. Sputniknews |

Sweden's Super Stealth Submarines Are So Lethal They 'Sank' a U.S. Aircraft Carrier QUOTE In 2005, USS Ronald Reagan, a newly constructed $6.2 billion dollar aircraft carrier, sank after being hit by multiple torpedoes. QUOTE this did not occur in actual combat, but was simulated as part of a war game pitting a carrier task force including numerous antisubmarine escorts against HSMS Gotland, a small Swedish diesel-powered submarine displacing 1,600 tons. Yet despite making multiple attacks runs on the Reagan, the Gotland was never detected. QUOTE How was the Gotland able to evade the Reagan’s elaborate antisubmarine defenses involving multiple ships and aircraft employing a multitude of sensors? And even more importantly, how was a relatively cheap submarine costing around $100 million—roughly the cost of a single F-35 stealth fighter today—able to accomplish that? QUOTE the two-hundred-foot-long Swedish Gotland-class submarines, introduced in 1996, were the first to employ an Air Independent Propulsion (AIP) system—in this case, the Stirling engine. A Stirling engine charges the submarine’s seventy-five-kilowatt battery using liquid oxygen. QUOTE With the Stirling, a Gotland-class submarine can remain undersea for up to two weeks sustaining an average speed of six miles per hour—or it can expend its battery power to surge up to twenty-three miles per hour. QUOTE The Stirling-powered Gotland runs more quietly than even a nuclear-powered sub, which must employ noise-producing coolant pumps in their reactors. QUOTE It mounts twenty-seven electromagnets designed to counteract its magnetic signature to Magnetic Anomaly Detectors. Its hull benefits from sonar-resistant coatings, while the tower is made of radar-absorbent materials. Machinery on the interior is coated with rubber acoustic-deadening buffers to minimize detectability by sonar. QUOTE The Gotland is also exceedingly maneuverable thanks to the combined six maneuvering surfaces on its X-shaped rudder and sail, allowing it to operate close to the sea floor and pull off tight turns. QUOTE China has two diesel submarine types using Stirling engines. Fifteen of the earlier Type 039A Yuan class have been built in four different variants, with more than twenty more planned or already under construction. Beijing also has a single Type 032 Qing-class vessel that can remain underwater for thirty days. It believed to be the largest operational diesel submarine in the world, and boasts seven Vertical Launch System cells capable of firing off cruise missiles and ballistic missiles.

Russian fighter jet crashes near its aircraft carrier in Mediterranean
![]() QUOTE A Russian fighter jet crashed in the Mediterranean Sea shortly after launching from its aircraft carrier near the coast of Syria Sunday, two U.S. officials told Fox News. Three Russian MiG-29 fighter jets took off from their Soviet-era aircraft carrier, Admiral Kuznetsov, and flew in the direction of Syria. Once airborne, one of the Russian jets appeared to have mechanical difficulties and turned around in the direction of the aircraft carrier. The Russian jet splashed down in the water while attempting to land. A Russian rescue helicopter picked up a parachute and the pilot. The pilot's status was unclear, U.S. intelligence officials said.

Report: Russian Navy MiG-29K crashed returning to aircraft carrier from Syria ![]() A report from Combat Aircraft states that the Russian navy lost a MiG-29K fighter into the Mediterranean as it returned to the Admiral Kuznetsov aircraft carrier after operating over Syria. Combat Aircraft reports that the plane’s wreckage has been recovered and the pilot survived. Recent reports and videos suggest that Russia began the Kuznetsov’s first combat deployment last week in the Mediterranean to support Syria’s President Bashar al-Assad. Experts agree that the Kuznetsov’s deployment to Syria doesn’t meaningfully increase Russia’s capabilities in the area, and that the deployment was done more for propaganda purposes and to showcase Moscow’s military hardware, like the MiG-29K which displayed prominently in a flashy video of the operations aboard the Kuznetsov. The news of the crash could potentially hurt Russia’s prospects to export the plane to nations like India, Thailand, and China, who also operate MiGs and ski-slope style aircraft carriers.

First flight for new jet-powered Avenger UAV ![]() SAN DIEGO, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- A turbojet-powered unmanned aerial vehicle by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems Inc. has successfully completed its first flight. The aircraft is called the Avenger Extended Range, a variant of the company's jet-powered Predator C Avenger, which has accumulated over 13,000 flight hours to date. GA-ASI said the flight occurred late last month at its Gray Butte Flight Operations Facility in Palmdale, Calif. "The first flight of Avenger ER is a significant achievement in the evolution of Predator C's proven performance and multi-mission capability," said Linden Blue, GA-ASI's chief executive officer. "The increased endurance and high payload capacity will deliver tremendous capability to our customers, who need persistent situational awareness and strike mission affordability." The aircraft has a wingspan of 76 feet and carries 2,200 pounds of additional fuel. Its flight endurance is 20 hours, five more than the legacy Avenger. The remotely piloted aircraft also features a wide array of sensors and weapons payloads to perform ISR and ground support missions. UPI |

Revealed, the NATO slackers: Why Trump is so infuriated by countries spending less than half their fare share on European defence (and we should be too) ![]() ![]() QUOTE Data has revealed the NATO countries who are not spending enough on defence to warrant Donald Trump using US forces to protect them from an attack. The President elect caused alarm during his election campaign by suggesting Washington would think twice about coming to the aid of an endangered NATO ally if it had not paid its dues. The alliance has set a target for its members of spending 2 per cent of GDP on defence - but the likes of France, Germany and Canada are among more than 20 members not meeting the objective, figures show.

Two submarines added to Bangladesh armada QUOTE Bangladesh navy chief Admiral Nizamuddin Ahmed received the submarines during a ceremony at Liao Nan Shipyard in Liaoning province’s Dalian city, according to a Inter Services Public Relation Directorate release. The release, signed by ISPR spokeswoman Syed Taposhi Rabeya, reads the type 035G class submarines will become part of the country’s naval fleet at the beginning of next year. The submarines will be named BNS Nabajatra and BNS Joyjatra respectively. Bangladesh paid a reported $203m for the two submarines, a deal that reflects the country’s growing economic and defence ties with Beijing, reports AFP. Type 035G-class submarines area, also known as Ming-class, is a class of diesel-electric submarines of the People’s Liberation Army Navy. ![]() QUOTE Type 035G Ming-class is the most numerous variant. A total of 12 were built and commissioned between 1990 and 1999.They were built with further improvements, especially in terms of noise reduction, weapons, sensors and crew living standards. The primary weaponry for Type 035G is Yu-3 torpedo, and French sonar DUUX-5 and its Chinese-built version were used on later units, 12 of which were completed between 1990 and 1999. Dhaka Tribune |

Russia’s Most Feared Air-to-Air Missile Is Actually Kind of a Dud The Russians may never have acquired production-model R-77s ![]() QUOTE The Artem company in Ukraine manufactured most of the K-77M’s parts. Vympel had produced only around 200 pre-series rounds by the time the USSR dissolved. The Russians tested the missiles at the Akhtubinsk Test Center but never distributed any to operational squadrons. Financing by potential export customers enabled some work to continue and thus the Izdeliye-190 — a.k.a. the RVV-AE — came into being. Manufactured in Russia and equipped with the Agat 9B-1348E seeker head, the RVV-AE was acquired by Algeria, China, Ethiopia, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Sudan, Syria, Uganda and Venezuela. QUOTE It’s not clear whether the Russian air force actually bought any. The same can be said for an entire host of variants reported as “undergoing development” — ranging from the passive-homing R-77P to the infrared-homing R-77T to the ramjet-powered R-77-PD and the K-77M variant supposedly under development for Russia’s T-50 stealth fighter. Indeed, the main variant the Russian air force wanted — the Izdeliye-170-1 or R-77-1, is still not in service. Reportedly fitted with a streamlined nose covering the new 9B-1248 or Izdeliye-50-1 active radar seeker head, plus new fin fittings, it was test-fired from a Sukhoi Su-27SM-3 at Akhtubinsk in September 2010. QUOTE In the last six years, the Russian defense ministry has made only one official statement related to the R-77. On Aug. 26, 2015, the ministry announced a potentially $200-million tender for R-77-1 missiles. Notable is that the statement in question is not an order, as such. It’s a call for companies interested in manufacturing the missiles to submit proposals. The outcome of this tender was never officially announced and thus it remains unclear whether series production has begun and if any have R-77–1 missiles have entered Russian service as of late 2016. QUOTE However, because Moscow never officially announced the results of the tender from August 2015, and because there is no evidence of series production of the Izdeliye-170-1, the origin of missiles in question remains opaque. They might be from the original stock of Izdeliye-170s manufactured in Ukraine. They could be Izdeliye-190s manufactured in Russia for export. They could even be Syrian Izdeliye-190s that the Russians borrowed. War is boring |

Trump Backer Pushes for New CIA ‘Enhanced Interrogation’ Jose Rodriguez destroyed tapes of interrogations during the Bush years and he says the next president should go further than waterboarding terrorist suspects. ![]() QUOTE “We have to be able to capture terrorists. We have to be able to interrogate them. We don’t do that anymore,” QUOTE But he does want to bring back some form of now-illegal interrogation measures, like waterboarding, sleep deprivation, and other so-called “enhanced interrogation methods” QUOTE “Enhanced interrogation techniques are well known to the enemy and we would have to come up with something else,” QUOTE He also wants the Trump administration to block current cases against CIA employees who carried out the program. QUOTE "These savages are chopping off heads, drowning people. This is medieval times and then we can't do waterboarding?” QUOTE “We tortured some folks,” after 9/11, Obama told reporters shortly after taking office. “We did some things that were contrary to our values.” QUOTE “A repeal of the 2005 Detainee Treatment Act and the 2015 amendment—or a replacement of those laws—would require the compliance of the Senate, specifically the 60 votes required to overcome a possible Democratic filibuster,” QUOTE A landmark Senate Intelligence Committee report into the program detailed stomach-churning methods such as instances of force feeding hunger-striking detainees rectally, and concluded that no actionable intelligence was produced by the methods. QUOTE “They worked. Of course they worked,” Rodriguez countered. “That Senate report is a farce. It’s a lie, it’s like Obamacare, it’s not true.” QUOTE Rodriguez himself was investigated by the Justice Department for three years for destroying video tapes of CIA interrogations of two Al Qaeda detainees, but not prosecuted. Rodriguez said the “ugly visuals” of the interrogations, if ever made public, would endanger American lives. The Daily Beast |

Trump’s New Navy: Does the US Really Need 350 Warships? Defense hawks are embracing Donald Trump’s idea of expanding U.S. naval power. ![]() QUOTE Defense hawks are also pleased that Randy Forbes, an advocate for a 350-ship navy and $20 billion annual shipbuilding programs, is allegedly being considered for secretary of the navy – the Department of the Navy’s top civilian job. QUOTE Policymakers affected by the Gathering Storm Syndrome have embraced Churchill’s dictum laid out in the first volume of his history of World War II, called The Gathering Storm, as a universal principle applicable at all times under any circumstances and against any adversary: Appeasement (i.e. disarmament paired with political compromise) makes the aggressor only more aggressive; and restraint in international politics is more often than not a mistake to be paid for at a later stage with “blood, toil, tears, and sweat.” QUOTE Perhaps, [policy makers affected by Gathering Storm syndrome] should heed Margaret Thatcher’s saying that “being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.” Also as George Smiley notes in Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, fanatics (i.e. defense hawks) are always prone to uncompromising attitudes, yet “the fanatic is always concealing a secret doubt.” Thus, signaling strong resolve may actually have the reverse effect. QUOTE Whether the U.S. Navy will have 272 or 350 ships, it will remain the most powerful naval force in the world for decades to come. No naval force in the world can even remotely militarily challenge U.S. naval supremacy. And this is not likely to change any time soon. Furthermore, defense hawks have a tendency to provide analyses that do not take into account that military power is always relative and in flux, QUOTE For example, how does an increase in the number of warships precisely affect the overall national security of the United States save the obvious deterrence factor? Is there, in fact, a direct correlation between the number of ships and U.S. national security? What are the opportunity costs of spending money on warships rather than investing it in other technologies or military hardware? At what moment precisely, can we expect China and Russia to take advantage of U.S. naval weakness? Will Beijing and Moscow automatically switch to a more aggressive posture if the number of warships falls below 250? Or is it 260? TheDiplomat |
