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

[Chinese-Dragon]

Ignore him. He has a long history of trolling and baiting using race.

Singapore is their own country, they should do what is in their best interests. Same for China.

Let both countries grow stronger and then in the future maybe the bilateral relationship can turn to a more favorable light.

in the future maybe the bilateral relationship can turn to a more favorable light.

Singapore and China has a strong fundamental relationship build up over the decades. Let's not judge the whole relationship just because of different views on certain issues. It's only normal.

In 2017, Singapore was China’s largest foreign investor and overseas investment destination, among countries along the Belt and Road. China was also Singapore’s largest trading partner and top source of tourists last year.

新加坡在中国的投资占了“一带一路”沿线国家对华投资总额的85%，中国对“一带一路”沿线国家的投资额中，近三分之一是经由新加坡投向这些沿线国家的项目。另外，在东南亚的基建项目中有三分之二是新加坡所规划的。

李显龙表示，两国政府的合作主要体现在三大领域。第一是工业园区的推进，这是在上世纪90年代初期开始推进中国的产业转型，苏州工业园区还在全中国其他地方进行复制，取得了很好的经济和社会效益。其次是双方携手打造天津生态城，该合作项目已经迈入十周年。第三是重庆互联互通示范项目，这是“一带一路”倡议、西部大开发以及长江经济带战略下的重点项目。

The third Sino-Singapore joint government project aims to drive trade and investments in China's less-developed western region through better transport, financing and data connectivity. "Beyond the physical connectivity of linking the road, rail, river and sea, we also need an information network to facilitate such trade flows," Mr Chan said.

He noted that the new Southern Transport Corridor linking Singapore, South-east Asia and western China via rail and sea has already cut freight time from the three weeks via a route going through the Three Gorges Dam and Shanghai. Said Mr Chan: "So we already save two weeks. We challenge ourselves and ask ourselves, 'Can we save even more time, save even more costs?' "

While the corridor enables goods to be moved between Chongqing and Singapore in less than five days, actual freight time is a week or so as a result of Customs delays, he noted. To improve this, he suggested a single electronic window be set up to facilitate information sharing.



Ultimately, improving connectivity is about creating more business opportunities and jobs, he noted.

The Southern Transport Corridor is not limited to transporting goods from southern and western China through Beibu Gulf to Singapore. It is also a conduit for goods from South-east Asia to go all the way up to south-western Chongqing.

"The next phase of our conversation is to find out the products that will be the most suitable for this new route," Mr Chan said. His assessment is that momentum around this new route is gradually building, with more people wanting to use it.

Besides neighbouring Guizhou, Gansu and Guangxi, Chongqing is in talks with four other provinces - Sichuan, Shaanxi, Yunnan and Qinghai - to explore how to work together to develop the route.

"The more people use it, the cheaper it will be, the more efficient it will be," said Mr Chan. "It will in turn encourage even more people to use this network."

Singapore will gather Chongqing and its neighbouring provinces as well as other Asean countries for a forum in the Republic in August to explore the new route's potential.

Yesterday, Mr Chan met Gansu Governor Tang Renjian in Lanzhou to discuss the province's participation in the Southern Transport Corridor. He will meet Sichuan party boss Peng Qinghua in Chengdu today.

I can easily give thousands example of red/rich 2-3 generation of race traitors from China, land of race traitors.

I love China most. So I want to tell them the truth.

Chinese women are biggest traitors. Can see it through out history and more transparent now adays

One main reason of acquiring weapons from Israel is Singapore want to develop military industries, which Israel is always willing to transfer know how compared to all others. Israel transferred technology to Singapore for this Iron Dome project.

Got any source Israel delivered the technology of iron dom? VN army produces israeli rifles of different models. Anyway, I believe should we decide to go nuclear we will need Israeli assistance. The Jews know our situation. Like Israel, we also need the ultimate weapon for our survival.

We have no interest if our enemy comes to our country, rounding us and sending us to gas chambers.

Know nothing about it, but some of the deals were concealed so....

Israel has great flexibility in export regime thanks to friends in the US Congress and in the friendship of French people. I hope our countries can close some more important deals. The world is a terrible place, isn’t it?

Have no evidences to suppose the SAF is better than PLA or VPA in a war. Sing is only little kid with expensive gun. Even what you said about "as one of the most effective armed forces in the region". What a ridiculous thing. In SEA, Indonesia and Vietnam are worth to say about military, Myanmar and Thai are second layer can be put to compare. People only say about Sing about money, no more. Do you think Sing same as Israel?

My first post here at PDF.

I do not think SAF can win against the PLA in an all out conventional war and the PLA also possesses thermonuclear devices. However, if it comes down to a hypothetical circumstance where PLA would have to free itself of a 'chokehold' imposed by SG on ships transiting the Straits of Malacca, then PLAN is likely to fail.

I did not get to read and correct all the misconceptions here in this thread. Regarding your comment, what makes you say Indonesia and Vietnam followed by Myanmar and Thailand are first and second tiers of military powers in SEA region?

Do you have any understanding of modern warfare, technology or combined arms tactics?

Is the defense industry in any SEA country as advanced as Singapore's?

Is it that those countries are nuclear powers with hydrogen bombs and ICBMs at their disposal?

What makes them special in your view?

SG might buy F-35.... making it even more difficult to achieve air superiority over them.

If the B version of the F-35 is acquired, that would probably be for two helicopter carriers or Landing Helicopter Docks (LHD) modelled on the Endurance 170. My guess is that two lengthened 200-metre versions of the Endurance-170 LHD may be required for the tasks that RSN thinks it needs to accomplish in the future.

Yes yes, the Liaoning and the entire armada surrounding the aircraft carrier are all training boats.

And this is the second training carrier.

Widely suspected (according to you...) but zero hard evidence.

My apologies for barging in your conversations.

If you are suspecting whether SG can integrate the Harpoon missile to F-15SG or F-16C/D variants, then you might ask how did Singapore get to operate Python AAMs on its fighter jets? Or integrate 10 different systems from 6 countries on the Formidable class frigates? Harpoon missiles were integrated on French designed Formidable class frigates all the same.

On top of that, Singapore has had the ability to hit capital cities of certain countries (no names to be mentioned here for reasons of political correctness) from a stand-off distance but there is no single public video, picture, name or specification of such a system. And it's not hearsay, it's admitted by the Ministry of Defence that some projects are classified and need to remain so.

Example

1. The Guided System Team - DSO, Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA), ST Kinetics

https://www.mindef.gov.sg/oms/imindef/mindef_websites/topics/dtp/dtp2010/winners/abt_guidedsys.html
The Ministry of Defence site is undergoing maintenance site, in the meanwhile, you can visit the following
http://www.asiaone.com/News/AsiaOne+News/Singapore/Story/A1Story20101029-244843.html

Yet, you would find no picture, video, name, specification or any such information about these systems in the public domain. Some facts need to remain classified.

Wish PLA would use chemical weapons on Viet. Agent dragon fruit .

You don’t mind people call chinese as retards?

But ok, the PLA resorted to chemical weapons during the last war with Vietnam.

I wonder why some Chinese or other tend to bring nuclear weapons into discussion for intimidation. Actually producing nuclear weapons even hydrogen bombs is much easier than producing a good car.

Modern warfare? Hallo! Only few countries in the world can say they know modern warfare: US, UK, France, Russia and Israel. The rest know little to nothing. Most brag about modern warfare because they read some books.

China uses Chinese weapons, and Singapore uses American weapons.

Tell me, what happens when Singapore's white American overlords decide to hit the kill-switch on Singapore's weapon systems, at the moment when Malaysia and Indonesia decide to swallow their island city?

The ancestors of Singaporeans must be so disappointed that after all their struggles, their destiny is in the hands of foreign white supremacists in Washington USA.

That member "Yingluck" is probably a troll.

Regarding kill switches on American systems, which are not the majority of systems used by the Army or the Navy, I believe something like the following might take care of that

nas.gov.sg/archivesonline/data/pdfdoc/20161107014/Fact%20Sheet%20-%20Hardware%20Assurance%20Team%20(Temasek%20Laboratories,%20NTU).pdf

Why would White Americans be 'overlords' of Singaporeans?

A 'white American' by the name of Michael Fay was caned despite protestations from the US Embassy and the then US President and despite much hue and cry from their academia and media personalities when he violated Singapore's laws.

Whether you are an American or Chinese, Japanese or German should make no difference when it comes to adherence to the law.

Modern warfare? Hallo! Only few countries in the world can say they know modern warfare: US, UK, France, Russia and Israel. The rest know little to nothing. Most brag about modern warfare because they read some books.

Multinational exercises help you learn as much as possible, short of actual war.

None of the five countries you mentioned faced a peer adversary since the turn of the century either. That changes nothing. Modern warfare is based on new theories and concepts that were conceived in recent decades and then absorbed or improved upon by countries.

Hallo! There is no such thing as modern warfare. If anything then: how to win a war. Every war is different. Every enemy is different. You can’t win a war by reading a book “modern warfare”. In a year the new released book modern warfare is outdated and you need to buy a new copy. Or staging exercises. Sure you can stage exercises to gain something to learn something. But only idiot believes to winning a war by staging exercises.

The US army is the most powerful in the world. Who is peer adversary? Nobody. But why the US always drags others to fight her war? Because it will reduce her casualties, it cost less, and it makes fun by trashing smaller opponents. Remember: even the most powerful tiger in the jungle uses all power to catch a mouse.

I remember nearly every day at my place, there would be a scream of an F-16, or the low drone humming of chinooks practicing maneuvers (often could be spotted past the tree tops). Sembawang AFB nearby, also Paya Lebar AFB flypath was overhead....great place to be a military aviation enthusiast teenager

And you sound like a low iq fucking Chinese nationalist idiot that deserves a fist in your ugly face!

 

[Nilgiri]

Sad but true. You guys just build up Yongshu and cruise missile can hit us from there.



The one who end up supporting USA are those rich 2nd generation and red 2nd generation. I dont want to expose more.

In fact China has world biggest community of race traitors.

Are you Thai-Chinese living in Singapore out of interest?
