long queue...queue under the hot sun at pasir ris...flaws in queue line arrangement...queue go right in front of the Pasir Ris MRT station...people in the queue and people going in/out of the station block each other...and the size of the queue lane at exhibition site can allow an elephant to go through...all these makes it easy for people to cut queue...
ugly queue...even uglier parents...cutting queue with their kids...some even try to come up with some stupid reason to justify what they did...dunno what kind of values they want to impart to them...
reach the exhibition site...quite a lot of parking lots empty...I think the organisers could have made it cheaper to get the parking passes to allow people to drive in...
Overall reminds me of peasants spending money to make it profitable for the event organiser...
I seriously dont think I will pay for the next airshow...

ST is a competent arms maker, given what they have. But "damn good"? You seem to have read more brochures and extrapolated incredible and overly-optimistic abilities then actually used the stuff.
How can you appreciate when all you do is to quote online articles without ever actually using the stuff?
And really what system manufactured by ST is really earth-shatteringly "damn good". Name one and I can just about pick a comparable, or even better system from some other arms company.
At the end of the day, ST tends to our needs first of all, to offer us with a competent local alternative as opposed to making "damn good" stuff to have bragging rights in the world.
Also given your idea for an expensive UAV like Fantail was to smash it into enemy soldiers, I'm not entirely sure what your idea of "damn good" is.

SAR21 is well rated internationally, but personally their pros and cons on this weapon system.
So most of the weapon system are good stuff, that answer the needs of SAF and with some customisations was exported to some international customers. Not 'damn good', if that is the case than all international power players will be knocking on ST door.
-
Wud like to know who ,internationally, has rated the SAR21 well .
-
google or yahoo it.
off my mind, defence international and janes rated it quite well
-
The SAR21 is a good rifle, and a lot of the bad press on it is more form conversion hangups then actually it being a defective weapon.
However, it's not a magical "damn good" weapon. Give a clown with absolutely no grasp of military tatics and ideas such as lionnoisy the SAR21, he'll probably get owned by a guy using a WW2 M1 Garand, and owned badly as well.
-
Hey! M1 Garand is good okay! COD said so....
If you dont know how to use a rifle, how zhai also no point. If you dont know how to use a computer, how zhai also no point.
We make good stuff but we dont make GREAT stuff.
Otherwise, Oz will be putting our arty pieces for tender. (they arent, btw even though their land procurement for future arty is in deep trouble)
Remember, what the SAF actually goes for is stuff that's good enough...not pwningyourassuntilkingdomcome

Still into crashing expensive UAVs into targets?
No pun intend, but you need a "carsh" course on how to actually use UAVs in combat.
Here's a clue, you asked if Skyblade can be modded to fire Spikes.
Here's another clue, why crash when you can shoot?
Here's another clue, why crash with just 12kg of payload when an LGB can send several times more explosive?

In May 2007 Singapore officially confirmed its intention to buy four Gulfstream G550 special mission business jets, configured for Airborne Early Warning missions. These aircraft will replace four Northrop Grumman E-2C Hawkeye aircraft currently in service. The first aircraft is scheduled for delivery this year According to the Singapore MOD, the G550 AEW will be capable of flying 9 hours missions at an altitude of 41,000ft (12,500m). With a longer range and higher ceiling (up to 51,000 ft), compared to the Hawkeye, the G550 AEW will provide long-range detection of low-flying targets and better support long range strike fighters such as the new F-15SG.
Singapore will receive the first aircraft of this year, and all four are expected to be operational by 2010. No details were released about the electronic and radar suite to be installed in the aircraft, but, it is a known fact that the only system currently available for this platform is the Israeli IAI/Elta 2085 PHALCON radar, developed for four Israel Air Force G550 AEW aircraft known as Eitam, currently being delivered by IAI/Elta. The first aircraft was handed over by Gulfstream on September 2006.
The PHALCON suite includes four sensors - radar, friend or for identification system (IFF), Electronic Support Measures electronic intelligence (ESM/ELINT) and Communications Signal Monitoring / Communications Intelligence (CSM/COMINT) systems. All sensors are fed through a unique fusion technique, providing continuous cross-correlation of targets generated by all sensors, providing automated system-wide tracks of targets detected by each sensor. The multi-beam, electronically scanning phased array radar utilizes time-space energy management technique facilitating effective, multi-mode operations and coverage of 360 degrees using only four planar sections - two in conformal arrays, and two at the nose cone and tail sections.
Derivatives of this radar system are operational with the Chilean Air Force and are under final integration on IL-76 aircraft for the Indian Air Force. Israel Aerospace Industries developed the G550 AEW system as part of a broad range of special mission aircraft, based on Gulfstream's jets. One of these is a SIGNT platform, developed by IAI's subsidiary Elta Systems, for the Israel Air Force. For these applications Elta is offering the EL/I-3001 AISIS – Airborne Integrated SIGINT multi-role Airborne Integrated Signal Intelligence System (AISIS). The system is designed to monitor electromagnetic signals (mostly radars) and communication network environments from long-range, creating an 'electronic order of battle' picture of all relevant threats, providing up-to-date tactical and strategic intelligence feeding the nation's intelligence database. AISIS can search, intercept, measure, locate, analyze, classify and monitor many types of ground, airborne and naval transmissions, characterized by short duration, variety of signal types and frequent changes in signals parameters.
A different special mission aircraft of the Gulfstream 5 platform is IAI's MARS² - a multi-role airborne system designed to operate as a fast-deployment, all-in-one task force. MARS² enhances the situational picture available to theater commanders, with real time radar, imagery, electronic intelligence sensors linked on-board with command, control and communication (C3) functions creating intelligence and situational picture for effective battle command of special mission.
