  Some publications whilst being highly respected still make frequent errors in inventory numbers of many air forces, Singapore included. I have put the correct figures in blue, which refer to the original number of aircraft bought. Even after losing a few aircraft to peacetime attrition the figures quoted by Aviation Week are still not exactly believeable.

  I wouldn't say they are mistakes lar. Need to check how the numbers are obtained. Are they the number of aircraft delivered, operational, based in SG or ?
  
  If those are numbers based in SG, then I think there are some cause for concern... security wise.

  I wonder why we still have 2x AB205 or UH1H??
  
  I know we ordered 22 Super Pumas way back... but there were at least two crashes...
  
  Are the AS532 "Cougars"?
