Primus SPH spotted at Bukit Batok Ave 3
-
Been discussed in JDW and ADJ since 2003. Patriot PAC-3 was also said to be another system we were interested in.Originally posted by tankee1981: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.

Hmm if you believe in everything you read, then you should know that SAF is extremely interested in the following:
1. Scud missiles
2. Wing In Ground effect (WIG) aircraft. -

you've got to be kidding. -
Seriously speaking, given Singapore's infocomms infrastructure, im not surprised if about 2 batteries of those S-300 are needed to cover the whole island. Our infrastructure im sure can support having the command nodes of the S-300 further apart than usual.

The S-300 variants are a good buy.. the enclosed tubes does not require maintanance for ten years. Much cheaper and reliable than the Pac-3.Originally posted by Shotgun:Seriously speaking, given Singapore's infocomms infrastructure, im not surprised if about 2 batteries of those S-300 are needed to cover the whole island.

The Pac-3, as it is now, flawed
Better still, acquire the S-400 -
not really... i read the JDW as well.. there was a report on SAF interest in SSM ... from russia.Originally posted by LazerLordz:SCUD? you've got to be kidding.
but other then that one single report... there were no further reports... either it went up in smoke.. or it went under. -
Like some SS-21?
-
Russian SSM yes. But not the SCUD range.Originally posted by tripwire:not really... i read the JDW as well.. there was a report on SAF interest in SSM ... from russia.

S-400 ah... i din know the russians were selling that already...
But i did hear of something abt an S-500 being developed already. -
MY and ID hit the roof when the news broke.Originally posted by tripwire:not really... i read the JDW as well.. there was a report on SAF interest in SSM ... from russia.

DSTA subsequently issued a statement that they have received a sales presentation, just any other sales presentation from other vendors. -

I think this is deliberately done to shake them up a bit...all part of deterrance right...
MY and ID hit the roof when the news broke -
would be quite a good ruse too
-
Actually i find it strange that it was DSTA that issued the statement.

and why would singapore need such an old thing?

Nope, next. Besides i dun think i can really describe what i really saw. All i remember was vehicle with a long tail, covered in canvas, and under the canvas looks like multiple tubes.Originally posted by tankee1981:
Back then i first thought it was some kinda MLRS system. -
Here, allow me have another go at this.

Shotgun, does this look familiar? This one is certainly big and have lots of exposed tubes behind. -
all playing tikam-tikam.
-
Could be a locally developed MLRS by DSTA? Still under wraps due to immature disclosure to public of such a system we might be experimenting for SAF?
-
I just got to say this, this (multiple tubes thingy) could be some false alarm lah! Who knows, the vehicle could be transporting some tubes to be laid in some military camps for the flow of NEWater there! hahahahaOriginally posted by Shotgun:...

Anyway, let me call up my friend in DSTA and see does he/she knows about this... -
That vehicle was bloody long leh. Not like the usual tonner length. But of course, it could be as black aces said, some vehicle transporting some tube like objects... but if its just PVC pipes n stuff, why cover in canvas?
Anyways, nope on that MLRS pic again. I dun think there's that many tubes. And the tubes were fatter. -
Skali ST is venturing into the field of short range ballistic missles
-
Well, Israeli has developed many new tactical missile with GPS guidance etc with range above 150km etc.
So that is another possibility.
