our F35 will rule south east Asia !!!!!!!

our neighbours cant afford them!!!!!

and usa wont sell to them!!!!!!!

F35 can be detected by radar when it is closer to the radar. Much closer than existing F16 and F18.

The biggest advantage is locking radar can’t track it.

The question is what that means for doctrine,  manning,  likely gonna need a big change in manpower allocation to make use of such an asset. 

As just a offshore airfield backup... or assault ship. 

I highly doubt SG has the manpower to field a 'mini carrier'. The airforce would need to spare the planes and mechanics (our navy too small to have own air arm) and then we need escort ships etc etc. Look at the RN. Even for them, fielding the 2 QEs require wringing the whole navy for the escorts.

Despite the billions(?) that have been spent on the defence industry. .. we don't seem very successful exporting the big stuff in the region. 🤔

Thailand bought the endurance variant. 

Indo bought arty.

England bought some emergency bronco.

May 27 (UPI) -- The navies of the United States and Singapore conducted a bilateral exercise in the contested South China Sea this week, the U.S. Navy said Wednesday.

The Independence-variant littoral combat ship USS Gabrielle Giffords and the Republic of Singapore's Formidable-class multi-role stealth frigate RSS Steadfast were involved in two days of flashing light exercises, maneuvering exercises, large- and small-caliber gun shoots and a photo exercise, the U.S. Navy said. Social distancing protocols, because of the COVID-19 pandemic, were respected.

 

"This was the first time that Gabrielle Giffords Blue Crew sailed alongside the Singapore Navy at sea, and they demonstrated high tactical proficiency throughout the exercise," said Cmdr. Dustin Lonero, Blue Crew commanding officer, a reference to "Blue" and "Gold" crews which alternate manning the ship. "Working with Steadfast was an excellent learning opportunity and gave us the chance to strengthen bonds, and enhance our mutual maritime professionalism in the shared naval environment."

The armament of the USS Gabrielle Giffords, commissioned in 2017, includes a 57 mm gun. .50-cal. guns, 30 mm Mk44 Bushmaster guns and Hellfire missiles. At 418 feet in length, it is comparable to Singapore's 378-foot long RSS Steadfast, which carries Harpoon SSM anti-ship missiles, MBDA Aster anti-air missiles, EuroTorp torpedoes and 76 mm and 12.7 mm guns.

The exercises took place on Monday and Tuesday in international waters claimed by China, as Chinese President Xi Jinping announced plans for the Chinese military's strengthening of preparations for armed confrontation.

Two U.S. Air Force B-1B bombers "conducted a mission in the South China Sea on May 26 as part of a Bomber Task Force mission, showcasing their ability to fly, sail, and operate anywhere international law allows, at the time and tempo of our choosing," a Twitter message from the Pacific Air Force command of the U.S. Air Force said on Tuesday.

Australian special forces involved in murder of 39 Afghan civilians, war crimes report alleges

Brereton report finds prisoners were executed to ‘blood’ junior soldiers and unlawful killings were deliberately covered up

Australian special forces were allegedly involved in the murder of 39 Afghan civilians, in some cases executing prisoners to “blood” junior soldiers before inventing cover stories and planting weapons on corpses, a major report has found.

For more than four years, the Maj Gen Justice Paul Brereton has investigated allegations that a small group within the elite Special Air Services and commandos regiments killed and brutalised Afghan civilians, in some cases allegedly slitting throats, gloating about their actions, keeping kill counts, and photographing bodies with planted phones and weapons to justify their actions.
