eplies to all questions and critics:
1.Am i look
anti-oz?
I present facts here ,most if not all from oz
repuatable,official and reliable sources.Some of u just quote
without sources!!
I wont bother third world or 2 and half world
countries.Reasons:
it is expected.But do u expect a big country and 1 st world
like oz ran in this way?
I put up so many issues of oz is for all here to learn
somethings valuable,good for u and SG!!Dunt judge a book ,a person
and a country by its cover.
Do u have other no. for oz naval combatant platforms
can sail a day?If u have ,tell us here with officail or reliable
sources.
NO hear say nor picking from this or that forums.
If u agree oz 10 + 10
Patrol boats can sail a day and think that it is adequate,then SG
naval cambatant platforms of 18(60 % of 31 ships in services) must be
excessive.
If u think not enough,what is your opinions?
Why Oz can delay defense major projects lightly?
How can we avoid delay,from their expensive lessons?
The most expensive lessons is the serious threats come to
her
door!!
2.Other means
of survelliance cant replace naval combatant
ships
They can just detect and track,but cant hit the targets.
The coastal line in south east oz already runs 2000 km.
Most of the major cities are there.How about other isolated
major cities like Perth?
3. Any US
official stamp of approval for Collins existing
sys
Dunt talk about the incoming nuke sub combat sys which is
still
under installation.It is another pioneer---nuke sub combat sys
installed in SSK!!OMG!It just like
modern sys not compatiable in Oz Vietnam era air frame
Seaspirit naval heli which has just been scraped!
Tell me where did u read that US offical
openly praise Collins?Pl bear in mind the conflict of
interst
for US officials who helps Collins to rectify and supply US
sys
to Collins.
Again,why did yanks lease Swedish sub iso Collins to learn
against SSK warfare?Do u know Collins is not installed AIP?
Do u really believe Collins just need few minutes in 24
hours
to snorkel?In war,this few minutes will kill any sub!
4. SG and oz
defense industry
Every new stuff will get problems initially.SG also
experience.
But this is the cutlure and attlitudes that make the
different.
How can u expalin so many delays in so many projects in oz,
a model for many Sporeans!!
I am sorry give u this culture shock.
Have u read :

REPORT TO
THE MINISTER FOR DEFENCE
ON
THE COLLINS CLASS SUBMARINE
AND RELATED MATTERS
June 1999
http://www.aph.gov.au/library/pubs/rp/2001-02/02RP03.htm
Mates,the main cause is system failure from the above
reports!!
SG defense industries has been learning and growing steps by
steps for few decades,from making bullets for Vietnam war:
Small arms to crew serve :M16,CIS 50 MG,Ultimax,...SAR 21,
120mm Super Rapid Advanced Mortar System
(SRAMS) etc
Military vehicles:upgrading SM1 tank,M113 APC to design and
built
Bionix etc...
Field Guns:FH 88.FH 2000,SPH,Light SPH etc
Naval ships:Very strong in civilian ship repairs and buildings
,
oil rigs etc
http://www.stengg.com/CoyCapPro/listing.aspx?pdtypeid=1
Have u noted ST just start from small and old models
and progress to modern design and making?
with the large civilian experience,SG is in a better
position
to build surface ships,but not sub.
Swedish took 100 years and few generations to build sub.
Singapore's Transport Engineering achievements include:
http://www.edb.gov.sg/edb/sg/en_uk/index/industry_sectors/transport_engineering.html
I cant believe www.asc.com.au can
become sub and war ship designers,with barely one class sub making
and two warships
making experiences!!
If u say ASC design Collins sub,then what did www.kockums.se
involve in Collins?Did kockums just made the bow and escape
section for the 1 st ship?
besides ASC and Metal storm,are there any defense industry in
Oz?Any small arms manufacture?
