The narrative in Sg is there this may be a massive mixed buy of both A and B models - similar to Japan. Technically, RSAF has not replaced its 49-50 F5 S/Ts which the F35As could end up replacing.
The 40 to 60+ F15SGs replaced some or all of the Super Skyhawks. The F35Bs will replace the 70+ F16Vs as planned.

RSAF fighter replacements

Super Skyhawks -> replaced by 4.5+ gen F15SGs -> to be upgraded (midlife) and then replaced by a 6th gen fighter post 2040
F16s C/D/D+ -> upgraded (midlife) to F16V standard -> replaced by F35B
F5 S/T -> ? (likely F35As)

For this years Pitch Black Exercise, Sg sent the following:

1) 1 CAEW AEW&C aircraft
2) 1 MRTT tanker aircraft
3) 8 F15SG
4) 8 F16Vs

Sg trains with many established armed forces around the world. Recently, SAFs Hunter AFVs were seen in Germany:

Look at the vehicle serial number:



This is a Hunter IFV from an earlier batch - see the serial number:



Not too hard to see how many Hunter AFVs have been built by Singapore right?

200 nautical miles = 370km

Open source reporting shows that the max radar range is about 450km for about 1000 tracked targets as small as a mortar round.

The coating on the F-35 has some issues. It peels off if you go supersonic for more than a few minutes.

The U.S. Air Force Just Admitted The F-35 Stealth Fighter Has Failed

America needs a new fighter to solve that F-35 problem, officials said.

Old news - fixed. In fact it is a known known. Aircraft panels and coatings need regular servicing.

And pricier than normal aircrafts. But look at the countries buying them - all have big budgets.

David Axe is a known f35 critic.

The litmus test is the fact that more and more tier 3 air forces all around the world r buying f35 backed by thier own defence science and material organisation assesments and not press correspondents.

tanks are obsolete and can be easily destroyed by drone bombs .
