Building the Next Generation Singapore Armed Forces

Singapore would require a STOVL fighter jet with stealthy configuration. Only one such fighter jet is available in the market right now that meets this requirement. European offerings would take a decade to materialize, if not longer.

The plans include Landing Helicopter Docks or LHDs. They are called Joint Multi Mission Ships so as not to scare some countries in the neighbourhood. We will have to see how that works out. I am more interested in seeing the Multi Role Combat Vessels meant to replace the Victory Class corvettes. The last of eight Littoral Mission Vessels is being constructed as we speak, slated for launch in early 2019. Post 2020, the dust may begin to settle IMO.
 
Seriously now. All F-16s stationed in India?

Australia, Israel and Taiwan are much closer partners, India is not even amongst the top 10 probably for Singapore. Real information on fighter jet bases will remain a bit of a mystery for obvious reasons.

Not all F16's but 1 sq at kalikunda Air base in Bengal state old article but more info below
