Cruise missile defence for SG?
-
There have been a proliferation of cruise misiles in Asia as many countries have been developing their own these weapons either with their own RnD or cooperating with external countries. One such example is the Brahmos, in fact the lastest version of Anti-surface missiles such as the Harpoons can be considered as mini cruise missiles.
While we have been looking at defences against ballistic missiles as said by our Defence Minister Teo, we shouldn't neglect the threat of cruise missiles. Here is a US system which may suit our needs.

Without proper defence, you wouldn't even have a house to worry about let alone GST hike.Originally posted by :Simi lanjiao cruise missile? I dowan gst increase any more hor.... thankew!

Increase GST??? haha, then if the people of Sillypore do not die because of a war or something(no one wants a war)....then they would surely die because of rising living costs(more likely scenario)Originally posted by vIn.Warrior:increase gst lor.
No point defending Sillypore either way -

Don't bother about that dill.
He was from here, and his Aussie neighbour find him to be quite silly. -

i wonder wat mahatir will say when singapore buys cruise missiles........

Maybe we don't need to buy any....Originally posted by venny:i wonder wat mahatir will say when singapore buys cruise missiles........ 
And Dr M is irrelevant now as he is no longer in the governemnt and it is highly possible that he is not in the best state of mind ever since his time in office as the PM.
-
who cares about that M felle.. anyway he is obseleted already
if we have cruise missiles then our enemy will know that none of their state will be spare.. i.e. no need to fight lah sure all die together. so cruise missile is good buy best buy better buy more more. is it US$1million a piece? But first we better shoot a few satellite up to the space to guide it
-
if we buy, they would sure buy.
can you imagine if both sides have it? I dont think SG have the upper hand in this scenario. -
i think it would be the interest of SG to have missile defence shield rather than having cruise missile as first strike option or deterence counter strike option. partly we are too small.

Think about it. When was the last time singapore had a war? And how much was spent on weapons over those years? And how many times gst has increased in those years? Was it worth it?
-
As a deterence, yes.Originally posted by :Think about it. When was the last time singapore had a war? And how much was spent on weapons over those years? And how many times gst has increased in those years? Was it worth it?
Remember, Yamash*ta was on the verge of losing but 'cos his wayang skills were so good, Percival was snooked into surrendering first thinking the Brits were worse off.
Going by your theory, most if not all SEAsian countries have no had wars for ages too. So should they all cut defence spending? Better yet, should they all disband their militaries? -
think about it. when u lost your right to do the things u do it every day. Than u wonder what happen ? U only live once. Our existing is really a matter of decision.Originally posted by :Think about it. When was the last time singapore had a war? And how much was spent on weapons over those years?

Cruise missiles are tricky bastards. Worse, is that in future, we will be seeing hypersonic varieties. US and Russia are heading in that direction as it is, and Russia already has supersonic missiles with a fair bit of range like that missile from the Indian collaboration.

Investment in Nation Defence is a good way to improve the regional stability and facilitate the general foreign investor confidence in the Lion City = more job and better future for us
-
You want a war first? You must to damn naive to expect that all things and prices remain status quo without increase. Relax our guard and we will be really Singapura, federal terrority of Malaysia or Singapura, SEZ of Riau province Indonesia. Then you convert to be Bin Abdullah or Bin Laden. [/i][/b] -
The best way to fight a war is to win it without firing a shot.

As they say the best weapons are those that never have to fire a shot in anger.
