your picture is 155mm gun is too oversize for Gempita

Gempita with Oto Melera 105 gun look well balance ratio gun/body size。 as many other country 8x8 amour mount 105-120mm gun too.


no sure how long our army will get SPH。
just Gempita more simple solution for bigger calliber before SPH... since we have best road network, and "Jalan parit" "jalan kelapa sawit" should be good enough for our 8x8 pass trough.
why atm ady abandon the big calibre stuff ? caliber too cost ? or too big for our army personal to take?

that why France Nexter come out Nexter jaguar EBRC 40mm soon for army.。。？

trend now ......

Saudi 。。。 they sign deal with china to setup manufacturing drone in saudi, and saudi military will used it and will sell it to there Arab alliance country too.

value is one think ...
main importance China sell weapon/asset is they (china) not care your country internal issue, also not tied with any rule. not like America. they just want do business.

that is Special Operations version Chinook （MH-47）which special made with extra seal so can land in water/lake/sand, and refueling. but also flight slower 26xkm/h vs 315km/h.
Normal army version CH-47 no have capability for that，

Australia navy buy Sejong class destroyers (KDX-III) design also cheaper and more powerful than this HOBART Class

Is time SG navy built own LHD Enduran 160, so can move army armour vehicles to any training location like in OZ & TW, even use for Asian country military exercise activity. some more LHD is cheap to built for ST Marine。Sg Mindef should no issue on budget。

theoretically LHD is for marine corps..but not means need follow 100% this road.. it can change some operation requirement base on requirement。
Since SG military many training will be in Oversea, logistic with LHD is more simple and convenient
it can use for transportation ship for large Infrantry with MBT and army armour vehicles, even as Helicopter transportation ship (i read news SG also move Apache to OZ using chartered plane) to oversea training center or military exercise。
LHD just example, it can be LPD, JSS, MRSS or transportation ship with to SG military.
importance is above ship is cheap to built.
and ST marine try hard to sell Endurance LPD too.
since SG Navy have Endurance Amphibious transport docks, just built other 1 with bigger 13000-16000 tons should be enough for use。

then singapore buy submarine for one? have to make a u turn at tambak johor



Personally, I think SG has more need for submarines because our security needs are different from yours.

We don't have a large coast to patrol, thus our main security threat comes from other countries' navies.

Malaysia have a super large coast to patrol. The main threat comes from insurgents and etc.

If you study the map closely, you will realized that, except for China, it's not really probable that Malaysia will engage in any sort of naval conflict.

In any war with the neighbors, the actual action will come down to the Army due to large shared land borders and narrow straits, resulting in land units being more of value.

And if you want to compete with China in terms of naval capabilities, it an outright losing battle. Why fight a losing war? Might as well divert the funds to somewhere more useful.

not agree your view,
SG get Sub bcos threat comes from other countries' navies,
than My not facing threat comes from other countries' navies ?
"insurgents" just extra threat to MY facing, not think to to with Submarine development. Submarine team have there own defense area.
and we need more cheap patrol boat to facing "insurgents"
but anyway RMN/Gov have there "calture" thinking to how to secure sea water.

if from you view seems Asean navies effect to each is minimal, than should asean country no need Submarine, means SG, IN, MY no need get submarine too, even Thailand also getting Submarine soon by this year. i believe Myanmar also setup Submarine force.
all asean country start submarine getting too. Submarine just give country navies "relieved". just like SG getting Submarine bcos "worry on" navies threat.
just like Asean country getting MBT too.
i understand your point money better spend on "sampan boats",
i agree, but also need spend on other navy ship too, cos navy ship need different type ship for there own role..
and MY navy can't enter to IN water too.

last year start in process service/repair and upgrade after 7 year using.

Discuss before，
seems using Combat-UAV much cheaper and much more long time surveillance like example 10-16 hrs。
C-UAV like Wing Loong cost usd 2-3 million per-set, A29 cost 15 mil. we can get 5 set of it。 enough to monitor semporna /sandakan water, and cost much cheaper to operation。

well over 250km drone need datalink via SATCOM, seems our defense force no military satellite yet or maybe have rent military satcom.

good packages. buy 3-4 set enough used in sabah。

So 2018 Singapore Army will change uniform again ?

they can't in front liner but can't transfer to like army/navy training camp as instructor ? so can work untill 55 age?
