Future Jets for RSAF ?

Jianye SG

Now we have F-16s, F-15s, will we be buying the F-18 soon? These are electronic warfare birds, able to jam enemy radars effectively

arball SG

emm. correction, ts, i think you mean EF-18s?

ef-18s are the electronic warfare birds... f-18s are the normal birds...

though we (still?) have the engiones from the a-4s, theyre the same ones as the f-18 (f404) but not the ef-18.( f414)... though both are related...

i think a more likely possibility would be for us to refit some f-16s for the electronic warfare mode, rather than buy a completely new fighter for the purpose. fufills the mission and yet mantain fleet compatibility

if we wanted the hornets, i think we would've gotten em a long time ago.. i dont think we can really afford anymore new squadrons..

F22 Raptor perhaps?

and thought RSAF on observer status for the multi countries project for the F35 JSF?

Yep, Singapore did express interest in buying F-35, and it's quite a large amount too.

New intake of MBTs and F-35s, change of uniform to digi-camou... interesting changes =D

What would be nice is that the RSAF buys the F-35B STOVL , which is just like a next generation Harrier.
