Hmm. Or it could be the M113 ADV.Originally posted by Shotgun:I believe i saw a canvas covered vehicle with what looks like multiple tubes under the canvas. I thot it resembled an S-300 system... seriously.
The M113s will continue to soldier on for a long time lar. Those are liable vehicles capable of multiple roles. Our ULtra conversion are perhaps one of the best upgrades an M113 can recieve. + Our M113s used for so many purposes already... -

There r some classified Bronco version. And must be cover up before allowing to be transported! I have seen before.

Just like M2 "Bradley" or M1 "Abrams", apparently, M113 have the name "Gavin" ... yuck...
Thank goodness we call it the M-113 and not "Gavin"...
Luckily for history the name of the guy who invented the best AR in the world is called Kalashnikov. Imagine if his name is "Peter".
"Insurgents armed with Peters inflitrated across the border last night and..."
Our next tank will be called SM-3 "John Tan".
Anyway, we should fit these anti-RPG cages to our M113's. I know lots of old HDB flats used to have them on their windows, so maybe can recycle...
There is also a "steel belt" they can install around the vehicle that can defeat 14.5mm "and beyond"...

No it was not on a low loader. It was on military tonner kinda vehicle. But the front part of the vehicle do not resemble the S-300 at all. Yes, it was big. Probably the total length was abt 2 5-tonners.Originally posted by tankee1981:I get the impression that you meant the canvas covered vehicle is being transported on a low loader.

Can't really remember if its as fat... its been many years. -
Oh Oh i've seen them go pass bedok resevior before......they were huge!!Originally posted by Shotgun:No it was not on a low loader. It was on military tonner kinda vehicle.

Those cages cannot anyhow mount one. Must be a very carefully calculated distance away from the hull. There is a certain distance that must be avoided, or the rpg can become a super rpg. The idea is u want the penetrator to be formed too far from the vehicle such that it does not have the strength to penetrate and breaks up on contact with the hull instead. Otherwise, it can also shred the relatively fragile head of a Heat round. No copper lining, no shape charged warhead.Originally posted by moca:Just like M2 "Bradley" or M1 "Abrams", apparently, M113 have the name "Gavin" ... yuck...

If it look like a tonner and that you seen that many years ago then i may have an idea what you have seen. I think what you have seen may be a SCE vehicle for river crossing. I can't find the picture which i have seen but the below vehicle taken from the Mindef website look some what like what i have seen and its really huge. Is this what you have seen?

That looks like a modified LARC-5. I've rode in one before. -
the duck tours vehicle.. -.-

Trust me the above baby is much bigger than the duck tours one. At least 2 times bigger. I think the duck tours vehicle no longer in service with SAF.

That's called a comet. Anyway its being phased out too. Those in 35 SCE would have seen the replacement but SSSSSHHHHH not officially released yet so..........
-
I know a comet when i see one. I am very familiar with all the bridging vehicles in 35SCE. =D
And I know I didn't see a comet. -
No it wasnt a comet
-
it is a comet/M2B........turn into ash also can recognise it as a comet/M2B....
-
It was a large vehicle, with lots of tubes behind. Resembles a S-300 launcher, but perhaps a little thinner.
Front vehicle does not resemble the S-300's vehicle. -
I mean wat i saw isnt a comet not e pic

This is becoming a X-files-ish topic.

and with Green Pine eh. -
I remember it seems 2 look like it has 4 tudes under e canvas maybe a harpoon launcher or something we never seen
-
landbased harpoon launcher...?
I'm more inclined to believe its a S-300 look alike. =D -

The version of S-300 is more possible because the launcher is made up of 4 tubes and Singapore is rumoured to be interested in the S-300.
