Singapore LST is now equipped with Typhoon Gun.

This can enhance the defense of LST while they sail to fight pirates.

As dawn broke, the Protector, an Unmanned Surface Vessel, conducted a live surface firing at the floating target with its stabilised machine gun. The RSS Persistence, a landing ship tank, also fired its Typhoon Gun at the same target.

Another test of the frigates' anti-air fighting capabilities saw the ships firing their main guns at a target towed by a lear-jet................''

Uh, just wanted to highlight that the Endurance has been using 25mm typhoons since as early as 2004.

Also, the stabilised gun onboard the protector USVs, though called mini-typhoons, are 7.62mm calibre only (MK49s Mod 0s).

SAF has made many US, UK, Israeli companies happy. So what ?

As pointed out by Slim10, the Typhoons have been used for some time & this was reported quite some time back. Anyway good to know that our ships are well protected against all manner of threats.
