F-35 in Singapore Air force
In February 2003, Singapore joined the JSF program System Design & Development (SDD) Phase, as a Security Co-operation Participant (SCP).
The initial order will be 12 F-35 aircrafts; eventually as many as 50 aircrafts may be procured.
The Big News is:
Singapore Air force already has 8 AEW&C aircrafts.
Pakistan Air force will receive its first AEW&C aircraft this year.
Indian Air force has 1 AEW&C aircraft.
Singapore a small country with a Big Air power.
Singapore is India's friend we regularly have cooperation and exercise with them.
And the best part is they have given India access to their F-16 Block 52.
