Corner.

Just want to tell u even Israle is also using

MATADOR: Unguided Short Range Antitank missile ....

the MATADOR (Man-portable Anti-Tank, Anti-DOoR)

''The MATADOR, which is among the lightest in its class, has both anti-armour and anti-brickwall capabilities that is suitable for operations in confined spaces''

SAF is not so far behind in weapons .Although we are shorter

or not so powerful physcially as other races,our weapons are not too bad.

''Another new weapon was introduced-- the Matador missile, which is intended to penetrate structures. The missile was first designed to serve as an anti-tank missile and was later used against structures. The missile referred to by some of the commanders as "My private tank" is more powerful than the Lau missile that the IDF used previously and is also designed to protect soldiers, rather than forcing them to use large tools and bulldozers to demolish structures.''

many guys say SG is using not so advanced weapons.

In fact,jus the opposite.Israel has been in war for few decades.

i dunt think they wont use the best weapons in the world!!

2.Pl note u cant agree on everythings your fren is doing.

If u need a perfect fren,ie u agree on everything your fren is doing,

i am afraid u cant has a fren in this planet.

Jus like u cant agree everything that your partner is doing.

3.SG and Israel have some partnerships on trade,defence,RD

etc.This DO NOT imply SG agree everything Israel is doing.

But then how?Stay away from Israel?Come on!

Many countries also not happy on USA.PRC etc.

So,do they all stay away from USA?

WE need to survive.We cant have a luxury to have many

principals.We need friends as many as possible,

need enemy as little as possible.

are you some kind of racist ? there is only one race. Human race. and there is no difference between the races. period. the concept of race is a positivist one. not a scientific one.

but do carry on, im waiting to see when you self-pwn. please do. you're about 1-2 steps more from it. very close.

Anti-tank weapons

ANTI-TANK WEAPONS/Germany/Dynamit Nobel Defence Pzf 90 Matador LAW system

''Development
In 1999, Dynamit Nobel Defence developed - under contract from the Defence Science and Technology Agency (DSTA) of Singapore - a new short-range Light Anti-armour Weapon (LAW) to meet the needs of the modern battlefield, especially that in an increased urban environment. There were numerous human-factors trials conducted with the aim of optimising the ergonomic features of the weapon. As a result, the weapon is also considered to be a 'soldier-centric' weapon. The weapon incorporates a new warhead technology that enables the gunner to switch from High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) mode to High-Explosive Squash-Head (HESH) mode, in which the impact fuze has a delay function. With an enhanced performance of the warhead of more than 500 mm in Rolled Homogenous Armour (RHA), the Pzf 90 Matador can, it is claimed, defeat all known Armoured Fighting Vehicles (AFVs) and light tanks. When used in the HESH mode, the warhead creates a hole of 450 mm diameter in a double brick wall - an important feature when fighting in built-up areas. The projectile is fired at a high velocity and is insensitive to crosswinds, owing to the special in-flight propulsion system. The Pzf 90 is used by Dynamit Nobel Defence as the baseline weapon for its new developments in the US and the UK. New warheads are in development for wall-breaching, bunker-destruction, kinetic-energy-penetrator and tandem-warhead versions.

Description
The Pfz 90 is a shoulder-launched one-shot weapon with a multipurpose warhead. The weapon is based on the Davis-gun countermass principle, with the countermass comprising ceramic powder. The adoption of this principle permits the firing of the weapon in enclosed (confined) spaces with single-ear protection only. The launch tube is made of wrapped Aramide fibre. The launcher is issued as a complete round of ammunition, with the only preparation required before use being to unfold the handgrips and the shoulder rest. Aiming is performed using an optical sight with ×1.5 magnification. A standard interface railing can be used for adding a night sight such as the Zeiss NSA 80 for night operations. The trigger operates on the percussion principle; an explosive cord is routed through the countermass and is then connected to the propellant charge. The Pzf 90 can be fired from confined spaces of less than 18 m2 with doors closed. The projectile is launched with a flat trajectory, with a time of flight of 1.2 seconds to 300 m. The minimum range is 20 m, and the maximum range is 500 m. A subcalibre training device with 18 mm ammunition and other training aids are available. In keeping with current practices, the manufacturer offers a full training and support package.''EOQ

i already consider i am in!!!!!

There are only 2 kinds---

The strong do whatever he likes.

The weak suffer whatever he must.

SG wants to be the former.Full Stop.

Dunt belittle our defense capacity .ie DUNT TEASE us.

Dunt belittle our defense capacity .ie DUNT TEASE us.

good point.

you basically fabricated accusations and chucked them at me. but in all good humour, ild reply you in kind.

have i

a) belittled our defence capacity ?

b) tease [you]

c) us ?

i didnt even touch on a), why so jumpy ? scared i pwn you arh ?

i dont tease, i think thats too delicate for me to handle. i prefer the sledgehammer blow of realism and logic. SAF is strong, but its simulteneously weak for a same reason.

plus, for that matter, strong / strength is a relative concept. i.e if i have, and you dont have, means im stronger and you are weaker. till the day singapore acquires something like 11 carriers, 333 ship navy, 10 divisions of regular GI army and 4093 manned aircraft and still have another 200,000 marines on active duty.

i wont call the SAF strong until the day SAF surpass this. do you think SAF is strong ? substantiate.

and to begin with, i m not even teasing. what makes you think im teasing ? prove it. i dont like

dont use the word US. there is no US. there is you. i am referring to you and directly asking you a question. there are no others. we can treat this as a private conversation for all its worth. i am addressing you and only you. answer me what is this

.Although we are shorter

or not so powerful physcially as other races,

there is no "us" , "them" and "we". what do you mean by race if there's only one human race.

there's nothing worse than being a criminal, than being both a racist and a criminal. thin ice you are walking on here.

What is your purpose of creating another meaningless thread?

EXPLAIN YOURSELF.

Sepecat SG

Matador is one of many excellent weapons systems in operation by SAF. But I agree that this is not as important as having excellent people to man these weapons. Many successful battle tested armies attest to this fact - they do not necessarily need the best weapons to overcome their enemies in battle. In the contrary, their defeated enemies may possess the more advanced weapons in larger quanities.
