yes, only a manly "man" can press the missile launch button today.

armed forces stuck in 2G mode lol @ 5G.

*snort.

Tell that to the Israeli "city boys" soldiers. Not even the "manly" Arab or Iranian soldiers want to cross them. Or the "pokemon" Japanese forces.

Jokes aside, the majority of Sg forces are NUS/NTU/SMU etc. degree holders or soon to be degree holders - be they regular forces or NS active or reserve forces.

We are talking about world class educational institutions.

Pound for pound they are the smartest armed forces in the world apart from the Israelis.

I will leave it 2 you to think about the implications on the 21st century battlefield.

See what Sg has achieved thus far with no resources...and you want to test them militarily.

Open source info shows Sg as being a HIMARS development partner.

PRsM missile successfully tested against moving target and its effective range will soon exceed 650km:

How the gigantic short range ballistic missile strikes moving targets is via a combination and coordination of sensor nodes (something Sg has invested a lot in i.e. network centric warfare)

Note: The hunter AFVs shown here are without their side armour skirts.

It seems that SG through ST Eng has developed new thicker skirtings:

^ Simultaneous firing of Aster missiles from RSS Stalwart, a Formidable class frigate, at Rimpac 2024.

Asters are meant for saturation attacks.

With the advent of the MRCV, Sg will have at least 12 frigates and heavy frigates/destroyers with large/theatre maritime air area defence (Aster 30 Blk 1 NT has a range bubble of >150km).

Useful for FPDA or joint ASEAN naval task force in case of emergencies.


^Nice video footage of a Formidable class ship aka "pocket" destroyer

I dream of the Kuwaitis Hornet.....

The recent pager explosions (likely hacks) in Lebanon underline the importance of cyber warfare and defence.

Sgs foresight on this new front led to the creation of a 4th SAF service namely the Digital and Information Service (D.I.S) alongside the army, air force and navy.

Retro years is it? I hawks, rapiers, e 2c hawkeyes, F5 S/Ts, etc. Looks like a dream.

Btw, Sg and Indo are getting closer. Lots of joint exercises.

Some people comment that the future military backbone of South East Asia will be Sg, Indo and Australia. Makes sense.
