Spore is almost can make all major military platforms and equipments.
Besides SAF ,there are some disclosed,and un--discloaed, overseas clients.
SAF is not obliged to buy ST's products.SAF is to buy best and value for money stuff.
Turkey is one of the disclosed client of Terrex AV81,called ''Otokar-Yavuz'' in Turkey.
Below: All fr ST brochure.
In 2003, Otokar initiated a cooperation with Singapore Technologies Kinetics (STK) for the new 8x8 tactical armored vehicle "Otokar-Yavuz".
The Terrex AV81 represents a new class of wheeled vehicle that is air-deployable, fast, mobile, reliable, and survivable. It boasts superb mobility with tremendous potential for future technology inserts.

These are Users of Ultimax100 that I have gathered so far :
Asia
Fiji, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Philippines, Soloman Islands.
Europe:
Croatia.
South & Central America
Peru,Honduras, Chile
North America
USN SEALs has bought a few.
So there are at least 11 countries are/were using our Ultimax100, but of course tat is no exhaustive becos STK never announced any arms sales, all the above info are from the net that I have gathered.
And we also sold a lot of SAR-80 around the world, and there is also reports of SR-88A to Soloman Islands and SAR-21 to Bangladesh & Papua New Guinea.
Afterall STK does not get to be the world top ten small arms producer for nothing!!! -

ST shall concentrate on making small arms while rather on big weapons lke the Terrex or Heavy Atry The most ,the heavy weapon will buy by SAF but if not.it will screw up!
If ST able to make a world beater ATGM or something manpad will be more realistic. -

Actually our arty are doing very well as well, Turkey has bought the licensed from STK to produce 400 FH2000 which the Turks called them as Panter and we also developed a special version of the FH2000 to be used pn their Firtina SPH which is a Korean K9 SPH with FH2000 SP variant gun and the qty is abt 300.Originally posted by zenden9:ST shall concentrate on making small arms while rather on big weapons lke the Terrex or Heavy Atry The most ,the heavy weapon will buy by SAF but if not.it will screw up!

So total abt 700 guns.
It was also reported that Indonesia bought abt 4~5 FH-88 too.
So arty wise, we r doing pretty well too.
As for AFVs, Terrex and Bronco have also attracted some attention, we have to wait and see abt them. -

There were also official Turkish reports and also from Jane.
Mkek is the Turkish coy that licensed producing them which they called it as FT2000 Panter.
Here one abt Firtina:
http://www.caat.org.uk/publications/countries/turkey-precis-0303.pdfSubsequently a $4.5 million contract was awarded to
Basically, the 6 guns are SP variant of FH-2000, and the Technical Data Packages is the Technical and Production Specification of those guns which will be eventually installed into Firtina and Mkek is the same company that will be licensed producing them too.
Singapore Technologies for 6 guns, and a separate $2.5 million
contract was awarded for Technical Data Packages.
In fact, do you know that our Primus SPH could have it's first export sales to Turkey way before it was officailly unveiled?!?
In the late 90s before TurKish army has chosen K9 as their new SPH, Mkek and STK actually presented a 155mm/39cal SPH that was based on a design from STK to the Turkish army.
When that reports was out then, Primus was not even officially unveiled, so no one even know what SPH was been offered by Mkek & STK to the Turkish army becos we dun even have a SPH for sales, but we do know now.
Anyway, Turkish army rejected it( it was called SP2000 too) becos they wanted a 52Cal gun, eventually the Turkish army chose the K9 but the gun will be of STK design and licensed produced by Mkek(that is why they bought the 6 guns and technical packages reported above)
