How exactly are you going to cut off the sealanes or airspace if
there is the constant threat of AMMRAMS from Vipers and Harpoons
from stealth Frigates coming to make life difficult for
you?
To seal off sealanes and air space means not only having to face
the wrath of the international community, but also the RSN and the
RSAF coming in to reopen these lines of communication, at the end
of the day unless we have no credible airforce or navy trying to
seal off is simply not easy to do.
And our neighbours know this, at the end of the day you are
going to need ground forces to enforce certain things.
BTW, cutting off water before the contract expires is a good
enough casus beli for open war liao, do you think they are
really willing to do so despite decades of threatening?
FIRSTLY, you have to learn how to read a map, and look
carelfully at singapore's physical location.
Ok, we are literally WRAPPED by msia and indonesia, WITHOUT ANY
allied hinderhand to provide any form of support when our
north/south sides are sealed.
Its fairly simple, as long as all goods (READ FOOD) are not
allowed to pass by malaysia and indonesia, and the straits of
malaysia is sealed, we are as dead as rock. Its not difficult
considering the two countries surrounding singapore( they are close
friends) , AND ITS FAIR GAME if they stop trade with us, even
BEFORE the war. Slowly grind us off.
currently more than 50% of your water comes from msia, water
becomes a first issue, and food second, without much farms in
singapore to be self sustianable on food.
since you said that we have a credible airforce, do you know
exactly the strength of our airplanes and weapons?
these are the numbers, the navy had a fleet of 24 ships,
including six corvettes and six missile craft, and two
Challenger submarines. The air force operating 126 combat
aircraft and 28 armed helicopters.
And out of these 126, only a percentage is serviceable, know
what they mean?
i agree that in terms of quality, we have good weapons, but we
lack amount, thus overall, the defense is still weak.
I would rather pray if they really cut off our water supply when
they war with us, If they dun, some poison over, would kills us
faster.
Dun sulk, chemical warfare is fair game too. In wars, they do
everything to win
