S300 spoted?

Anza Andy SG

Dear Wombat,
Thank u for u warning. But don take it too hard. It is just a game, u hide it, I find it. By finding it, I am not against the game rule.
If I am not a Singaporean, do u mean I can freely review anything what I know?
By review what I saw and think of, It will not cause harmful to it defense. Indeed it will only generate more ideas into the hiding game.

CX SG

you have a morbid sense of fun and games and u just don't get it do u.

they hide it, u find it, u shut the hell up. THAT's the rule.

if u're not singaporean, then u really shouldn't be in a training area checking out funky looking stuff hidden in the bushes.
If u did, then you were TRESPASSING and THAT is against the law. If u happened to see it while on exercise, then revealing it constitutes a SECURITY BREACH.

either way, it sux.

besides, there are NO available info on the public domain that says "SG HAS OFFENSIVE A.A CAPABILITIES" so stop stirring shit.

its no fun talking about things u can't verify...

EXCO SG

How old are you? Do you realise how serious such a thing can be? Its not a game. They hide it, you find it, you spend the rest of your life under ISD's eyes. This is different from other things we discuss here, ie. F16 equipment, because we discuss what can be found on the net, therefore it is public domain.

Actually, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institution reported the purchase of Python 4. See the URL http://projects.sipri.se/armstrade/ISR_EXPORTS_1992-2001.pdf

Smile I think this constitute to the Public Domain information isn't it? Furthermore, the Vipers that joined the Pitch Black 2002 exercise are clearly fitted with Helmet Mounted Sight, presumedly for Python 4 integration Smile

tripwire SG

poor RMAF pilots...... think a flu wave gonna hit them soon..

Joe Black SG

Well, if RSAF acquiring more than 300 rounds of Python 4 (essentially replacing all the old model AIM-9 on one to one basis) plus the approx 50 rounds of AIM-9S/M, I think RSAF have acquire some potent WVR capabilities.

As for BVRs, RSAF has 50 AIM-7Ms, and 100 Amraams, if the Rafale is being purchased, I'm pretty sure Mica will be in the package too... Smile

Joe Black SG

Putting aside the question of whether RSAF in fact has S300 or not, lets examine the needs for it in the first place.

Would Singapore require any SAM that has the range > 40km? Given the radius for the center (eg. Bt Timah) to Changi or Tuas is at most 20+KM, placing I-Hawks around the 4 corners in Sg will be sufficient to down any low to medium hostile planes. Any planes outside the engagement zone can effectively be engaged by the fighters with BVRs.

Unless the hostility is from Malaysia and Indonesia (God forbid), having such long range SAMs do not make sense, unless they acquire short range tactical ballastic missiles like Scuds.

Orcishwarrior SG

Having a long range SAM does have its advantages.the purpose LR sam really doesnt necessary to shoot down Incoming ballistic missile.Missile>Sam such as PAC2 shoots down planes at all altitude,dun tell me the RSAF is going 2 allow the fighters to drop their Paveway or 500/1000 lb bombs before we can shoot them down isnt it better to shoot them before they even fly into singapore airspace.at least if 1st shoot fails , we still have ample time to launch several LR-SAM,before them enter our AREA
er......i think RSAF has more than just 50 Aim-7 BVR quite convinced.Wow if Mica is brought into singapore airforce invnetory huh....we got 3 types Amraam,sparrow and mica.whao! y we need so many varietries for what purpose.
Actually if RSAF decided to acquire Rafale what i m interested is will SCALP/APACHE AGM be procure at the same time. Laughing

oops, sorry about double post, just saw it. . ., read the one below

laser51088 SG

also, http://www.jed.simonides.org/missiles/sam/s-300_series/s300-series.html has a long list of variants of the S-300

laser51088 SG

and janes say something about it too, http://www.janes.com/press/pc000308.shtml

anyway, i doubt Singapore has this SAM, seems a bit too futuristic for Singapore. . ., and its a secret pretty hard to hide if Sg has it. . .

YourFather SG

6 simultaneous targets just means that the radar directors are able to guide 6 missiles to their targets at any one time.

Anza Andy SG

The photo show it is in 4 tubes. Anyone knows whether it come witha 3 tubes?
