Same question, what are the F18s for if they are not for protection against neighbouring conflicts. Which country arms itself not against neighbours but for long distance confrontation? If we can't even match our neighbours, which country should our F18s be targeting against?  Conversely, our neighbours assets are targeting against which country?

i would say - Malaysia......

hopefully we won't elect leader that day in day out say want to annihilate Singapore like what Khamenei does to Israel, closest we ever got was Mahathir in 90s, that threatened to cut water to SG, that had resulted SG to almost send their troops over to Johor

then we will be fine

small countries like Israel and Singapore gets extremely sensitive when someone threatens their existence
