Pentagon announces possible fighter aircraft sale to Singapore

Click to listen to interview
The Pentagon notified the US Congress yesterday of a possible sale of F-15 fighter aircraft to Singapore.
The proposed deal, worth some 741 million dollars includes air-to-air missiles , satellite guided bombs logistics and training.
Boeing's F-15 fighter jet is vying with the French-made Rafale to replace Singapore's Super Skyhawk fighter jets.
When contacted by 938 Live, Singapore's Ministry of Defense said that they are still in the process of selecting the appropriate aircraft.
So how would the United States' benefit from its proposed aircraft and weapons sale to Singapore?
Melanie Yip put this question to Dr Paul Mitchell, Visiting Senior Fellow at the Institute of Defense and Strategic Studies in Singapore.
PM: Well, essentially any time one of the United States' partners buys a significant piece of military technology like a fighter weapon system, like a ship or like a tank, it enables the United States to inter-operate with that nation in a much more efficient fashion. Obviously, it is in the United States' interest to see as many of partners and allies around the world operate with American weapons systems, so that if they are operating in the region, in terms of strict military operations, exercises or any other humanitarian operations, it is far more effective for the Americans to work with those forces. So this is part and parcel of that strategy irrespective of the industrial benefits that accrue to the Americans, there are significant operational benefits that are accrued to it when they work with American weapons systems.
And as you talk about the issue of interoperability with the US forces for coalition operations, how does the North Korea proposed nuclear weapons program issue factor into the US' proposed weapons and aircraft sales?
PM: I'm not sure that there is a strict relationship between the decision to go with the F-15 variant here. However, it does bear some interesting examples. In particular, the Koreans are operating a variant of the F-15 or will be operating a variant of the F-15 in the future. And obviously, if Singapore were to become involved in the conflict on the Korean Peninsula, in support of American and Korean security, then it would be in a much better position to contribute in a more significant fashion to air operations.
Under the proposed weapons and aircraft transaction with Singapore by the United States, some of the weapons included in the sale are Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles, Joint Direct Attack Munition, Joint Standoff Weapons etc. Under what circumstances are these defense mechanisms of the weapons used?
PM: The types of weapons that are being acquired, or being under discussions of being acquired, in particular the Joint Direct Attack Munition and the Joint Standoff Weapons are both long range, precision guided munitions, and in particular, the AGM 154A Joint Standoff Weapon is one which drops multiple bomblets out of it. So it is extremely useful in taking out large concentrations of troops and armor. So this is an important contribution, from Singapore's part, if it found itself working with the United States and the Koreans in any sort of contingency within Korea.
How will the proposed transaction of weapons and aircraft to Singapore by the United States contribute to the Republic's efforts in maintaining both aviation and maritime security in the Malacca Straits?
PM: Well, the types of systems that we are talking about here in terms of the F-15, the Joint Standoff Weapons, the Joint Direct Attack Munitions probably will not have a direct role in contributing the recent agreement signed by Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. In that respect, the current weapons system such as the E2 Hawk Eyes that Singapore operates in terms of control of air space would be far more effective in maintaining aviation security. It is possible that an F-15 might be used to investigate suspicious air contact and ultimately may shoot it down, but in that respect, the F-16s would also be contributing to that particular contingency. And the types of weapons that we're looking at is that Singapore is looking to acquiring with the F-15s at the moment probably would not be the ones used to shoot down any aviation threats, maybe except the AIM 9X sidewinders. Again, a lot of these things are hitting the fly with a very large hammer, there are more effective ways in terms of providing aviation security. Obviously, these things all help, but with the economy of resources, it is more likely that the air force would choose to deploy other assets in contributing to that particular mission.

Tuesday • August 23, 2005
WASHINGTON — The Pentagon notified the US Congress yesterday of a possible sale to Singapore of up US$741 million worth of weapons, logistics and training as part of a proposed F-15 fighter sale.
The weapons include advanced supersonic air-to-air missiles and satellite-guided bombs.
Boeing's F-15 fighter jet is vying with the French-made Rafale to replace a squadron of Singapore's aging A4SU Super Skyhawk fighter jets, a deal estimated to be worth US$1 billion.
If Singapore selects the F-15, it will purchase the aircraft and engines commercially.

'Other countries in the region already or will soon possess this capability,' it said.
'These munitions will significantly improve (Singapore's) military capability by providing an intermediate-range anti-aircraft capability,' it said.

Rafale also not bad.
i guess it comes down to what we need for.
F15 very big. -
He is hinting that SIngapore might be involved should there be a korean war. dunno to be happy or sad... happy that our army can be battle tested and gain very valuable experience but damn sad if people die. omg.
if the armed forces really go... please comeback in one piece alive. i believe if go i will kenna too.
niway F-15 damn old platform leh... i prefer the rafale... although i was rooting for Typhoon at first but dropped due to price -

Take a look at our current long-range strike assets and naval modernisation, look at the rumoured further purchases of air or ground launched standoff and ABM systems..and go further and see the evolution of the RSAF into a force capable of long range support...

we go by active units and reservist units. one active and one reservist/NS.
regulars, NSF or NS does not matter. go by unit.
they are all ready. just like US in iraq, mixed reservist and active. -
if you look at the military purchases in recent years, frigates, F16s with conformal fuel tanks, KC-135 tankers, and now, perhaps F15 long range interdictors, these are assets that'll allow us to project power far beyond our shores ... certainly more than enough, i think, to deal with the chaps to our north, i think singapore is gearing up in such a way to project power to protect the sea lanes of communications in the south china sea. there's only one power on the ascendent in the south china sea right now; China. i think we're configuring our forces so as to protect our interest in the event of a showdown in the south china sea between the bigger powers
but on the other hand, as for getting involved in a korean conflict, i think that's highly unlikely, if not impossible, north east asian is far off the radar screen of our interests, and i seriously doubt we would take sides in a showdown between super-powers (china and the US ) unless we absolutely have to, like it or not, north korea still exist only because it is in china's interest to be so. a korean conflict would be a full out total war, and any singaporean troops sent there will be up against a trained army, not the wayang show militiamen of east timor. would we take such a risk ? ... i don't think so, the combat experience that perhaps might be gained would be far outweighted by the political costs, both abroad and at home .... best watch the show on CNN and learn from there ... -

Pentagon announces possible sale to Singapore of munitions for F-15 fighters
Mon Aug 22, 6:51 PM ET
WASHINGTON (AFP) - The Pentagon notified the US Congress of a possible sale to Singapore of up 741 million dollars' worth of weapons, logistics and training as part of a proposed F-15 fighter sale.
The weapons include advanced supersonic air-to-air missiles and satellite-guided bombs.
Boeing's F-15 fighter jet is vying with French-made Rafale to replace a squadron of Singapore's aging A4SU Super Skyhawk fighter jets, a deal estimated to be worth one billion US dollars.
If Singapore selects the F-15, it will purchase the aircraft and engines commercially.
"This proposed sale includes weapons and logistics for the F-15 aircraft," the Defense Security and Cooperation Agency said in a statement.
The defense agency said the proposed sale of weapons and logistics for the aircraft was worth 741 million dollars if all options are exercised.
The weapons include 200 AIM 120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM); 50 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs) with 500-pound warheads; 30 AGM 154A-1 Joint Standoff Weapons with 500-pound warheads; 30 AGM 154C Joint Standoff Weapons; and 200 AIM 9X Sidewinder missiles.
"This proposed sale will provide Singapore with a credible self-defense capability that will deter aggression in the region and ensure interoperability with US forces for coalition operations," the defense agency said.

US flags possible Singapore sale of F-15 equipment
WASHINGTON, Aug 22 (Reuters) - The U.S. Defense Department notified Congress on Monday of a proposed $741 million sale to Singapore of weapons for Boeing Co. F-15 fighter jets, if Boeing wins the country's fighter jet competition.
The Pentagon's Defense Security Cooperation Agency said the contract would cover 200 AIM-120 Advanced Medium Range Air-to- Air Missiles (AMRAAM) built by Raytheon Co. , captive air training missiles, 50 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM); 200 AIM-9X Sidewinder missiles and other equipment.
DSCA said the proposed possible sale, which must still be approved by Congress, would help improve the security of a country that "has been and continues to be an important force for economic progress in Southeast Asia."
The agency said there would be a separate notification to Congress for the sale of the actual fighter jets, if Chicago- based Boeing wins a $1 billion competition against French defense firm Dassault's newer Rafale jet.
Singapore is expected to announce the winner of the competition soon.
DSCA, which oversees major arms sales to foreign countries, said Singapore needed the weapons to modernize its defensive capability, increase its ability to operate with U.S. forces and deter attacks on its ports and waterways. -

NEWS RELEASE
Date: 22 August 2005
Singapore – Weapons and Logistics/Training Support for F-15 Aircraft
On 22 August 2005, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency notified Congress of a possible Foreign Military Sale to Singapore of weapons, logistics, and training support for F-15 aircraft as well as associated equipment and services. The total value, if all options are exercised, could be as high as $741 million.
The Government of Singapore has requested a possible sale of
Major Defense Equipment (MDE)
* 200 AIM-120C Advanced Medium Range Air-to-Air Missiles (AMRAAM);
* 6 AMRAAM Captive Air Training (CAT) Missiles;
* 50 MK-82 GBU-38 Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAM) w/BLU-111 warhead;
* 44 AN/AVS-9(V) Night Vision Goggles;
* 24 Link 16 Multifunctional Information Distribution System/Low Volume Terminals (Fighter Data Link Terminals);
* 30 AGM-154A-1 Joint Standoff Weapons w/BLU-111;
* 30 AGM-154C Joint Standoff Weapons;
* 200 AIM-9X SIDEWINDER Missiles;
* 24 AIM-9X SIDEWINDER CAT and Dummy Missiles;
Non- MDE
* 300,000 20mm Practice Round Cartridges;
* 100 KMU-556 GBU-31 JDAM Tail Kit Assemblies;
* 4 MK-82 and MK-84 Bomb Practice trainers; and
testing; integration; devices; containers; common munitions built-in test reprogramming equipment; mission data production system; drones; technical coordination program; engine component management program; aircrew safety equipment; foreign liaison officer administration support; training equipment; repair and return services; technical assistance; missile planning system; technical orders; electronic warfare systems and support; weapons trainers; weapon system reports; missile container; spare and repair parts; supply support; integration and technical services; spares; support and test equipment; personnel training and training equipment; software support; publications and technical documentation; training; life support and survival equipment; studies and surveys; ground support equipment; training missiles; U.S. Government and contractor technical and logistics personnel services and other related elements of logistics support. The estimated cost is $741 million.
Singapore has requested a competition between U.S. contractors and foreign competitors for an aircraft program. If Singapore selects the F-15 aircraft, the aircraft and engines will be purchased commercially, for which there would be an eventual 36(c) notification of the commercial sale. This proposed sale includes the weapons and logistics support for the F-15 aircraft.
This proposed sale will contribute to the foreign policy and national security of the United States by helping to improve the security of a friendly country that has been, and continues to be, an important force for economic progress in Southeast Asia.
This proposed sale will provide Singapore with a credible self-defense capability that will deter aggression in the region and ensure interoperability with U.S. forces for coalition operations. Current U.S. Government policy is to enhance and strengthen our relationship with Singapore and this proposed sale will bring our two militaries closer together. Other countries in the region already or will soon possess this capability. Singapore needs these munitions to modernize its defensive capability, increase interoperability with U.S. forces, and provide a viable deterrent force in protection of vital ports and waterways. Singapore will use these munitions in defense of its sovereignty, or as part of an international coalition. These munitions will significantly improve its military capability by providing an intermediate-range anti-aircraft capability. Singapore is a modern, high-tech nation that can absorb these weapons into its armed forces.
The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not affect the basic military balance in the region.
The principal contractors will be Raytheon Missile System Corporation of Tucson, Arizona and Boeing Integrated Defense Solutions of St. Louis. There are no known offset agreements proposed in connection with this potential sale.
There will be up to 10 U.S. Government personnel and 10 contractor representatives for two-week intervals annually to participate in program management and technical reviews.
There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.
This notice of a potential sale is required by law; it does not mean that the sale has been concluded.

looking at the numbers, my guess would be an initial 8 F-15Ts ... and with JSOWs, AIM-9Xs ... and AMMRAM Cs .....wow ! ... i think our strategic relationship with the US might be a lot deeper than it appears .... JSOW certainly would be a new capability for the region ....

8 to 10 aircraft need the support package that is worth US $720 milions
No , that package is for tailored for at LEAST 20 or more Eagles .
Look at the package, the details clearly indicated as such.
As for the AGM / bombs , the intial nos are just a only a starter .

Think SG will get F15 for sure .. Rafale and Typhoon just a negotation chip... pity we wont be seeing Canard design fighter in SG after all....
