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 a small country with a Big Air power.

they dont even have an airspace to fly and practice, they use Thailand's airspace for these purposes.......they are a cornered air force. by default

They have Malaysia next to them

 

[syntax_error]

but we are a atomic state & Singapore is in our range.idiot

This the exact reason why people consider Pakistan a threat with nukes with them...
here we are doing a simple air power analysis and the first statement from a Pakistani member is that whatever Singapore has it does not matter .. we have nukes and they are in our range !!!!!!

 

[syntax_error]

For their size Singapore has quite a potent airforce ..
they can defence their airspace quite well i believe and with awacs to monitor that tiny space there will be no gaps.
Also introdection of F-35 .. will give quite a lot more bite

What use will 8 AWACS be to Singapore ? One can easily cover it's entire area.
And why would such a small country need mid-flight refuellers ? Their planes would be never out of range of a base !

Because if the war comes into or over Singapore they have already lost. Singapore war doctrine calls for fighting outside the country over the oceans...which is why they have a lot of mid field refuelers and AWACS.

what ever we have no business what they have .let them enjoy.

Just like to watch T.V, an average american will opt for an LCD TV whereas the average Pakistani will go for a normal TV.
Ah, the comforts of cash !!!!!!!!!

Yeah, now Malaysia is even supplying them with water, a rare commodity in Singapore.
