with no hope to get brand new MRCA anytime soon, this is the best available option.

Let the 5th generation MRCA matures and operation costs go lower and more choice then only decide which to buy ..

Malaysia should get AEW aircraft asap, maybe surplus US Navy E2 Hawkeye the C variant should suffice no need D latest variant .. sure US will happily transfer to Malaysia if we use China treat in SCS as reason ..

Videos from SGs ongoing Exercise Wallaby 2024



Look at the dust. No wonder one Hunter AFV hit the rear of another Hunter AFV.

Is this the exercise which a IFV rear end collision injured several troops ?

I am not sure which next gen artillery system will be selected by Sg.

The Aviationweek correspondent mentioned Archer.

Can Sg develop a wheeled 155mm 52cal Primus? Yes. But it may not be cost effective. They probably acquire between 70+ to 120 chassis. Not like the >700+ Hunters they will acquire over time to replace the M113s. Joint collaboration?  Seems likely.

They already selected an Israel developed wheeled SPH , new generation .. saw it in a defense forum article..

Before the Ukraine conflict, military so called experts say the artillery system is no longer relevant in modern warfare, precision guided rockets and SSM systems have taken over the role .. but the Russians are proving the opposite , WW2 style artillery is still very effective .. rockets and missiles although very accurate but expensive and there is not enough quantity to be effective ..

Speculated to be Singapore - see video above on the German/Israeli Sigma system. Standard rounds - 40km, Excalibur - Abt 50+km, vlap - > 60km.

But we dont know for sure if it is really Sg.

Even so, we can expect Sg to alter it.

What is more impt r the munitions. St Eng is a recognized precision 155mm munution supplier. They have decades of R & D e.g. extra range rounds, cargo rounds, etc.

Sg wants automated loading system , because accidents in training whilst using manual system ..causing death ..
