How a tiny city-state became a military powerhouse with the best air force and navy in Southeast Asi

[Kai Liu]

actually warfare today is not much different to warfare in the times of the Rom Empire.

You are talking jokes again...

 

[Nike]

I wouldn't downgrade Vietnamese military just because they don't have cool uniforms. Their fighting spirit makes them a tough enemy to fight against.

That's in the past, do you think their current generation is still hardy people who dare to live in the jungle to resist western power?

That is not long past, he maybe mentioned to this time war with China in near 90s, not 60 or 70s in Vietnam War. Indonesia has ability to become a power but not a real power now. You did not face war like with these nation China, Japan, Korea and Vietnam already faced, war in these nation in Sinophere was different with these nation in other part. These nation had long time in military theory from thousand years which Indonesia was lacking. I dont look down on Indonesia army but the location of your country which could not make a martial race from the history to future.

Near 90s? You mean this one? I can't see any fighting spirit but their readiness to surrender...

Except the war in 1979, and a relatively large battle in 1984, there are no major battle but just skirmishes through the 80s. Then what are you talking about "near 90s"?
They might had fighting spirit ~40 years ago, but let me tell you something, jungle man:
In today's warfare, technology and money is the key thing. A war will be like burning money to feed those high-tech killing machine to slaughter technologically and economically inferior enemy... fighting spirit plays a minimal role... Now tell me, what vn have got: Money? Tech? Fighting spirite maybe but not for sure judging from those lazy young generation vn men...

Did you see my argument for your comment about tech, money etc? If I dont remember right, they had war with you from 84 to 86, even some small battle until 90, so that is not near 90s?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sino-Vietnamese_conflicts_1979–90

Are you kidding me? Even when these things you said rightly, so the comment from @mardofc about disincline..etc is nonsense, so why do your army need to keep this instead of developing small arm like gun QBZ, why not you used this money for missile? you do not to take gun to other country, you only use missile from your home to destroy them immediately.

 

[Viet]

You are talking jokes again...

no jokes man. technology improves, but never the principle of warfare. ok let´s comparing Chinese and Vietnamese rifles in the 13 century. today rifles are surely more deadly, Vietnamese and Chinese infantries operate differently, but in reality nothing has changed. whoever shoots the first shot, dies as second.

Did you see some traps from VC in Vietnam war? Thats easy to do, even dont need to use money but it is very effective and creating a lot of damage to American force in Vietnam, thats even never related to what you say about technology.

[Mista]

Actually it's kind of true that just brawn means little in today's modern warfare, especially in urban areas.

Technology must be accompanied by brains; the user must be capable to operate the system. A highly educated group of soldiers is actually a huge asset of the SAF, although we may be more 'soft' than the soldiers in the region who understand hardship.

The equipments used even by the foot soldiers can be quite complex, especially the communication system.

Present:

Army troops on the ground can now simultaneously talk and send images, videos and text messages to update Headquarters (HQ) on the battlefield situation.

This was made possible by a new software radio that boosted the existing bandwidth of the Army Battlefield Internet (ABI) by up to four times. Introduced in 2013, the ABI connects all computer systems used by the Army's ground forces

With the ABI enhanced by the Software Defined Radio (SDR), HQ commanders no longer have to waste precious time visualising and attempting to understand what their ground troops were trying to communicate by voice.

With better clarity from looking at a picture or video of the situation on the ground, they can make better tactical decisions.

Before the introduction of the SDR, communication between the ground troops and headquarters was carried out using a conventional hardware radio with a limited bandwidth of up to only 4.8kbps. Ground troops could thus only communicate with HQ through voice.

In contrast, the new SDR allows simultaneous transmission of data and voice at speeds of up to 21.6kbps. It also comes with a high level of encryption and security features.

The speed is considerably slower than the 4G mobile network, as the SDR does not rely on telecommunications infrastructure. Mobile network is unsecured, and likely to be taken down by an enemy in times of war.

An Internet Protocol-based software radio, the SDR is mounted on a military vehicle and can be linked to other Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) communication devices. One example is the Advanced Combat Man System used by an infantry soldier.

Accurate picture

In his speech at the commissioning, Dr Ng highlighted that with the SDR, soldiers will be able to get a more accurate and timely battlefield picture, and target enemies with greater precision.

"With a higher bandwidth of up to four times the conventional hardware radio, it will now be possible for ground troops to simultaneously talk, send files, images, and videos to the Brigade and Division Headquarters," he said.

"The tracking of our forces and marking of enemy targets and positions will be embedded within the images and videos that can be shared among commanders and ground troops."

Colonel (COL) Percival Goh, Chief Signal Officer, described the SDR as a "game changer", noting that the Singapore Army is one of first few military forces in the region and the world to acquire this capability.

Captain (CPT) Prathap Latchmanan spoke about how the enhanced ABI would help in his role as Officer Commanding of the Motorisation Support Company in 2nd Battalion, Singapore Infantry Regiment (2 SIR): "With enhanced bandwidth, it is easier for me to get information on what is happening in the battlefield... and what my troops are going through.

"I am able to make more informed decisions... and (I can) make sure that these decisions are relevant for them (my troops) through the course of the battle."

Staff Sergeant (SSG) Muhammad Sidiq, a section commander in 2 SIR, added: "Now, I can easily communicate with my superiors through picture and video transmission. Back then, we could only visualise the enemy target... and communicate through voice."

Improved efficiency

Previously, ground troops that needed to communicate with HQ through voice and data, had to use two different radio sets. With the SDR, they can send both voice and data over a single radio.

Explained CPT Prathap: "I don't have to toggle between two different radios...so it is less cumbersome, as well as faster and easier for me to get instructions (from HQ) and give instructions (to my men)."

SDR training will commence this April. Active units in the Armour, Artillery and Engineer formations can expect to be equipped with the SDR this year, while the Signal formation rolls out the new system progressively over the next few years.

Signal's Golden Jubilee

The ABI commissioning ceremony was held in conjunction with the Signal Formation's 50th Anniversary Parade.

In his speech at the parade, Dr Ng urged the Signal Formation to remain at the forefront of the Army's transformation to enable effective command and control for mission success.

Noting that the SAF' communications, command, and computer network systems are far superior and ahead of others in the region, and lauded globally, Dr Ng said: "The Signal Formation has indeed come a long way and we have shown that our systems work even in large-scale exercises with many hundreds of platforms and thousands of soldiers, such as Exercise Wallaby in Australia recently.

iLite? We like.

"The Basic Fighting System (BFS) was slow…You would become frustrated when using it. On top of that, it weighed 6.5kg."

Although the BFS gave soldiers unprecedented access to networked battlefield data in great detail and accuracy, this was a common gripe of soldiers who used the BFS. One of the systems under the Advanced Combat Man System (ACMS), the BFS is a wearable digital system that transforms soldiers into digitised warfighters. At 6.5kg when issued with a spare set of batteries, it was a significant load that soldiers had to carry on top of their combat loads, which threatened to adversely affect combat performance, stamina and reactivity.

"The BFS heats up a lot. When you're carrying it, you can feel the heat even though you have your uniform and Load Bearing Vest," added 3rd Sergeant (3SG) Lee Zheng Yi.

The 20-year-old Operations Specialist from Headquarters 9th Singapore Division/Infantry (HQ 9 DIV/INF) was explaining the problems faced by section commanders when using the BFS. These included it being too heavy, having a long set-up time and not being very user-friendly.

Going Lite-weight

The BFS was created in 2010 with the aim of providing soldiers with access to a networked system of data and communication. Together with remote sensors, soldiers can track the positions of friendly and hostile forces, effectively engage their targets and concentrate efforts at critical locations.

Traditionally used by two team leaders and the section commander in a seven-man team, the BFS consists of a personal radio, communication keypad, portable computer, head-mounted display and weapon interactor.

Over the years, the Army collected valuable feedback on the system being heavy, easily heated and having several unnecessary functions. This prompted the development of the ACMS iLite - a lighter version weighing just 2.5kg with functions specific to what the commanders on the ground needed.

"The iLite is meant to be more mobile and portable, and is used by the section commander, section-in-charge and second-in-charge," explained Captain (CPT) Jeremy Ong.

The Head of Soldier Systems Development from HQ 9 DIV/INF revealed that the ACMS iLite was simplified from the original nine to six key functions. These included the ability to mark danger areas, call for medics and enemy contact alert. The BFS will now only be used by platoon commanders and above to plan detailed operations.

Smart phone, smarter device

Another key difference of the ACMS iLite is the replacement of the communication keypad, portable computer and head-mounted display from the BFS with a smart phone. The head-mounted display is a wearable eyepiece that doubles up as a computer to show the user all the information he needs. Unfortunately, the eyepiece was not very user-friendly and could strain the eye.

3SG Lee said: "The eyepiece works like a computer screen and you have this Nokia-phone-like controller which functions as both a keyboard and mouse. When you want to select something, you have an up, down, left and right button which you have to keep pressing to move to a selected area just to mark an item.

"It was also very strenuous for the eye and you had to concentrate pretty hard just to look at the screen, as compared to the smart phone."

CPT Ong added: "The smart phone interface is more user-friendly. Plus, the current generation is used to playing electronic games and the interface is designed in such a way tha t it feels like you're playing a game. Everything is laid out on the screen so it's very easy to find the options," said the 30-year-old.

Faster learning curve

With the smart phone, the time taken to learn the system is also reduced - from three days to just half a day.

3SG Lee, who teaches both the BFS and ACMS iLite, shared that when he taught the former, he had to teach the soldiers how to set it up, and it was tough to pinpoint a problem when the soldiers ran into difficulties navigating the system.

Said CPT Ong: "We scaled down the functions for iLite and were very specific about what we wanted to offer commanders on the ground... With one glance, you know where to go and what to click. That's why the learning process is a lot faster."

Since its implementation in 2014, the ACMS iLite has been used by the 3rd and 6th Battalions, Singapore Infantry Regiment, and 3rd Battalion, Singapore Guards. In future, all active infantry units will use the system.

Despite the enhancements, there are still plans to continue improving the ACMS iLite. Said CPT Ong: "We are still collecting feedback on the user interface. If some functions are lacking and we assess that adding new ones is useful, we will tweak and refine the system... Different versions will eventually emerge to cater better to our soldiers' needs."

The SAF on the other hand are sophisticated, well equipped & well trained army. Those words were never used to described the VPA in its current form.

Come on, Vietnam war was 50 years ago during which vietnam was supported by USSR and China, and had no significant technology gap with US army... But it is a trend that air force and navy plays the decisive role plus C4I capability and everything technology in the current and future wars... Without tech and money, you will be slaughtered without even know where is your enemy... Don't be fooled by your government because you don't have money and tech, so they will downplay their roles and tell you that fighting spirit is everything, but actually it is just a minimal factor in the modern warfare, and will be considered as important only when you have no significant gap of technology, hardware, money, etc, with your enemy... and even your fighting spirit is questionable... Our government also emphasis fighting spirit many many years ago when we were poor and backward, but we have H-bombs then and no one dare to piss us off ...

Tiangong-1 reenters the atmosphere

According to the announcement of China Manned Space Agency (CMSA), through monitoring and analysis by Beijing Aerospace Control Center (BACC) and related agencies, Tiangong-1 reentered the atmosphere at about 8:15 am, 2 April, Beijing time. The reentry falling area located in the central region of South Pacific. Most of the devices were ablated during the reentry process.

First posted 10 March 2018; Updated: 13 April 2018

Official 1 April 2018 report from the French Polynesia TV channel Polynésie la 1ère.

Debris of Tiangong-1 have crashed west of Maupiti, seen by several eyewitnesses describing the reentry as a meteor shower.

A fisherman told Woullingson Raufauore, the Maupiti Mayor, by radio that debris have crashed near his boat, close to Maupelia [also known as Maupihaa], as he saw the impacts on the sea.

This was the scariest experience he has ever been through, but unharmed, he tried nonetheless to retrieve parts the debris from the ocean "without success". He returned to the island in the same afternoon.

▲ Le satellite Tiangong-1 s’est écrasé au large de Maupiti. Published on Apr 1, 2018


Jean-Yves Le Gall, President of the Centre National d’Etudes Spatiales (CNES), the French space agency, since 2013, and also Chair of the Council of the European Space Agency (ESA) and President of the International Astronautical Federation (IAF), said in this regard, on 4 April 2018, before the French National Defense and Armed Forces Committee of the National Assembly:

I admit that the way this station has reentered remains for me mysterious ...

But in recent days, the whole world, and France in particular, has lived to the rhythm of the reentry of the Chinese space station Tiangong-1, with patent untruths written in newspapers.

For their reentry in the atmosphere, all the spacecrafts under control are directed towards the point called "Nemo" in the South Pacific, that is to say in the ocean, far from any inhabited land. This is where the Mir station was deorbited. And today, we are being told that this Chinese space station, theoretically out of control, fell, coincidentally, at Nemo point! The probability that this happens randomly is about 1%. We have launched investigations and we may know one day the truth. But I doubt that chance alone contributed to this lucky reentry!

J’avoue que la façon dont cette station est retombée reste pour moi mystérieuse...
Or ces derniers jours, le monde entier, et la France en particulier, a vécu au rythme de la retombée de la station spatiale chinoise Tiangong-1, avec des contre-vérités patentes écrites dans les journaux.
Pour leur rentrée dans l’atmosphère, tous les objets sous contrôle sont orientés vers le point dit «Nemo» dans le Pacifique sud, c’est-à-dire dans l’océan, loin de toute terre habitée. C’est là qu’on avait précipité la station Mir. Et aujourd’hui, on nous explique que cette station chinoise, théoriquement hors de contrôle, est tombée, comme par hasard au point Nemo! La probabilité que cela arrive spontanément est d’environ 1 %. Nous avons lancé des investigations et nous saurons peut-être un jour de quoi il retourne. Mais je doute que seul le hasard ait contribué à cette chute appropriée!

The Mars Colonization As Seen From Europe


"Im Lauf der Zeit: Dschingis Khan, das Steppenreich" is a typical TV program for children presenting the history and future of the Mars Colonization.

Alternate History: The Empire of China conquers Mars

10-02-2017

In the desert, in a hostile world, man has managed to gain a foothold and to sustain life. After decades of cold war, of technological races to dominate the world, the Empire of China won its showdown with the European Union: after the Moon, Mars has just been colonized.

For years, this unmatched feat has mobilized all the resources of the country. Barely 20 years after the first step on the moon, the Empire of China, from the height of its 5,000-years history, today shows the world the grandeur of its civilization. His success is such that we are already talking about the Chinese century.

But all this has never happened! 900 years ago a small grain of sand will cause a series of events that will decimate more than a third of the Chinese population and slow down its development for centuries.

1174, Mongolia. A clan leader is poisoned by a rival tribe. He dies under the eyes of his young son named Temüdjin. A few decades later, riders ransack a nomad camp, they leave with a captive, a beautiful woman, her name is Börté.
1214: Beijing is taken and pillaged by the Mongols. In the years that follow, China will lose a third of its population.

These three tragic elements are intimately linked, they are key moments in the life of a unique conqueror in the history of mankind, Genghis Khan!
