singapore is too small to fight a defensive war
as singapore is very heavily build up, having a defensive war
would have a major economic/ infra-structure toll on singapore
so it is always saf's policy to fight on foreign soil
this is pretty apparent if you look at the types of military
hardware saf invest in, mostly offensive weapons.
Of course, more so when they have the F-15s
these F-15s are long range, high endurance fighter, not only
they can provide anti air capability but combat air patrol (CAPs)
for allied ships and other multi-roles
