Just updated the army portion with separate groupings for armour, infantry, arty and engineers and the navy portion. I think I have missed some of them as available in public domain.

You left out our equivalent of the Rivet Joint in the Air Force Section.

Which unfortunately is not something that can be confirmed, and should be left out.

EC 120 Colibri?

i second that.

B) B) you mean this stuff?

3 one-shot mine disposal systems.

ECA's K-ster on the top-left, Gaymarine's Miki on the bottom left (the smallest UUV on the right) and Atlas Elektronik's SeaFox on the right.

Which will the RSN pick? :ph43r:

Let's not forget the good ol' WW2-era d-10 cables then ;)

- SPYDER (as reported)

Just updated the Army portion (Infantry) and Air Force.

DTI's latest issue talks of potential export orders of the CH-47F Chinooks to Singapore.

nxtbook.com/nxtbooks/aw/dti0408/index.php?startid=21 Look for the Chinook piece.

Hmm how about the Terrex for the Infantry part? Or is it the ATV thats mentioned?

It's confirmed that we have purchased the spyder SAM system (supposedly 2 units)

Terrax is under armour if it ever gets inducted.

:)

Fair enough. But the Herc is still missed out anyway, inclusive of the KC-variants.

Amended, and included the SPYDER.

For Sjoormen munition, add Type 617 torpedoes, Type 43X2 torpedoes (acquired in 1997).

For Airforce munition, add:

- AIM-9J/P/P-3/M/S Sidewinder
- AIM-7M Sparrow
- AIM-7P-5 Mk 58 Sparrow
- AGM-65G/A?/D? Maverick
- AGM-114K-3 Hellfire
- Hydra 70 rockets
- Mk-82/84 bombs incl with BSU-49/B retarding fins
- CBU-71 (may no longer be in service)
- BL-755 (may no longer be in service)

For clarification:

Paveway II bombs in inventory = GBU-10, 12-B/J
JDAM = GBU-31/38
JSOW = AGM 154A-1/C

does this effectively mean that rumors of aster30 are dead in the water ? shouldnt be right ? it says aster15 transferred but does not clarify anything about the launcher. 300 aster 15 is pretty substantial

If the prices are accurate, I would think we made out like a bandit compared to the Malaysian purchases for subs and frigates.

Also, do the Malaysian purchases of AAM seem somewhat excessive in numbers for the number of platforms capable of carrying them?

Can someone explain to me how offsets work?
Happened to understand from certain groups of people that they dread working with countries that include offsets in the sales.. Why issit so troublesome?

The version of the seahawk S70N. According to Wikipedia this version is a modified version of the black hawk. We might see a replacement of the UH-1 with the black hawk soon. Just a deduction

The problem is defining what are the offsets.

For example, in MY's case, payment is in palm oil. If Russia does not use palm oil, then what does it do with it?

Others like Boeing, can be expected to set up MRO or repair offices in the countries. However, beyond repairing/maintaining those aircraft, the MROs may have little other work = white elephant.

In india's MRCA, india expects to have some local assembly work. However, if the local entities can't produce the quality, it affects the end product. Then blame who?

Trying to come up with suitable and acceptable offsets isn't easy.

Numbers in ( ) are only estimates. SIPRI's estimates can be way way off. It does not preclude Aster 30s, merely that Aster 15s are imported. UN arms register figures in this case appear to be more reliable (but type is not mentioned).

their contract includes a long term supply of grease.

Malaysian version is "palm" oil which oils palms...

I was expecting Tapis, otherwise how can it be the world's most expensive crude oil? :P

i think 300 Aster is believable, considering that we used to have 120 bloodhound missiles during the 70's/80s. i always believed, that being kiasu, i always suspected that a single threat we faced may be countered with multiple missile of the same type just to be sure.....

Bloodhounds are provided by British and we never had 120, more like 28.

Each frigate only carries 16 missiles. That means more than 3 reloads which a ship will never need if all 16 are needed in a sortie.

from what i read 120 missiles, launcher is much lesser, since you mentioned 28, it could be 28 launchers, beside, if it's only 28 missiles, we must be having a very rare live firing execises from the 70's throughout the late 80's. yes the brit gave us the missile but there is strings attached and it still cost money.

For Aster, i'm not so sure, i'm not even sure if reload is possible during war. It's big, time consuming and I think you need a crane to load it. for obvious reason you dont do it at naval base.

FYI, LKY agreed to the Bloodhound for political reason, the prefered one is actually Hawk.

Firstly, I'd like to correct my earlier post cos Formidables carry 32 missiles (not 16 as previouslys stated) each so that makes 192 for 6.

wrt Bloodhounds. It would be interesting to know the source. Even in the UK, I have seen sources suggesting ~50+ missiles per squadron and Sipri does state 84.

hopefully i kept the article, whether it's reliable or not, i dont know, even jane's can be wrong and i'm sure sipri's can be wrong also.....although there are article that allegedly say we sold if off to myanmar....or is it a book, let me check this weekends.....

I believe Formidable can be modified to carry even more Asters. The VLS tubes only take up half the space that the Formidable has for provisioned for.

Noted US reporting additional 13 AIM-120Cs exported to SG in 2008.

Total 212 AIM-120Cs exported to SG up to 2008 as reported by US govt.

only 13? are these to replaced those expended in livefirings?

Combat archer live firings are likely to be within the scope of fighter training in the US ie using inventories/training costs which is in-country and not missile exports (exports by definition mean leaving the country). Not aware if rsaf conducts fighter missile live firings outside the US. 13 could also be nett of missiles used in live firings in the US.

In any case, 200+ is still more than enough to equip 4 each for every F-15 and 2 each for every F-16 so additions (except for C-7 versions) is unlikely. Interesting to see F-16s equipped with 2 each of amraams, sparrows and sidewinders.

was reading the Wikipedia entry on the Barrett M82 and i noted that it claims the M82 is also deployed by Singapore. the reference given was to Jane's Infantry Weapons 06-07.

googled it and indeed someone on Sgforums once made a reference to seeing Singapore 'sniper operatives' equipped with the M82.

http://politics.sgforums.com/forums/10/topics/24853

we would seem to have an abundance of types of sniper rifle. chances are, as with most military users of the weapon, we deploy it as an anti-materiel weapon.

I list below the Janes data in 2005.
