MLRS foR Singapore?
-
Few of u know ST has been making and selling Long SHot TM for sometimes.
These photos taken fr brochure obtained few years ago.I have posted Bomb with Wings in this forum but later disappear.If u know it still a live .Tell me.
Yellow graph fr top:MK ?3,CBU 12,CBU 87
LONG SHOT fr Lockheed Martin -
I didn't know that Singapore has the CBU-87 in its inventory...
Thanks for the brochure... -
Sorry.This table is just a indication of relatioships bt. bomb types,launch ceiling and range.It does not mean Sg got such bomb.
Take a look fr US arms sales to Sg 36 AGM-65G Infrared Guidance Control Sections, 324 GBU-10 and 108 GBU-12J/B guided bomb units, in 2002 2003,among other many sales.
3.MLRS csan do much harm in first strike.But our Long Shot will do much harms every times,all the times and in first times.It will be stupid than Mr Bean if we dunt put Long Shot in every bomb even we can make in Sg!!! -
Are there any instances in foreign armies where they used both tube artillery and MRLS in their combined arms divisions? If so then i will think that such a combination in SAF is feasible.

the US integrate their MLRS together with their Armoured, Mechanized, Infantry and Calvary divisions, together with their M109 howitzers .... UK has them in their royal horse artillery regiments that fight as part of a combined arms division ...Originally posted by tankee1981:Are there any instances in foreign armies where they used both tube artillery and MRLS in their combined arms divisions?

This proves that a combination of MLRS and SPH is feasible in the SAF. Assuming that we want to have MLRS in our combined arms division, should we be getting the the tracked or the wheel version like Astros? There are plenty of Russian MRLS on trucks. Any reason as to why they chose to have their MLRS on trucks instead of on tracked vehicles?

horse-drawn MLRS? haha... let's get some of those. -
Lets see, Horse vs Trucks.
Pros:
No need fuel, just grass.
No need maintenance, occasionally change horse shoe.
Free up Mechanics to fix stuff that break down more often.
Serves as animal companion for troops.
Does not pollute the environment.
Looks "Royal" on parades.
Won't kena ticket for speeding.
No need COE.
Cons:
Vulnerable to small arms fire.
Requires trained animal handlers.
Slower than trucks, faster than man.
Always pulling the long face.
CAn't think of anymore.
But i think thats a pretty good option to look into. Perhaps we should consider horse-drawn MLRS.
