There have been a proliferation of cruise misiles in Asia as many countries have been developing their own these weapons either with their own RnD or cooperating with external countries. One such example is the Brahmos, in fact the lastest version of Anti-surface missiles such as the Harpoons can be considered as mini cruise missiles.

While we have been looking at defences against ballistic missiles as said by our Defence Minister Teo, we shouldn't neglect the threat of cruise missiles. Here is a US system which may suit our needs.

duotiga83 SG

JSOW for F-15SG counted or not?

Arapahoe SG

u might have to consider distance where plane might be out of reach.

sgf SG

Without proper defence, you wouldn't even have a house to worry about let alone GST hike. Rolling Eyes

Coquitlam SG

Increase GST??? haha, then if the people of Sillypore do not die because of a war or something(no one wants a war)....then they would surely die because of rising living costs(more likely scenario)

No point defending Sillypore either way

tankee1981 SG

Haiz...

mancha SG

Don't bother about that dill.
He was from here, and his Aussie neighbour find him to be quite silly.

Obersturmfuhrer SG

venny SG

i wonder wat mahatir will say when singapore buys cruise missiles........ Rolling Eyes

tankee1981 SG

Maybe we don't need to buy any.... Cool

And Dr M is irrelevant now as he is no longer in the governemnt and it is highly possible that he is not in the best state of mind ever since his time in office as the PM. Very Happy

audiovideo SG

who cares about that M felle.. anyway he is obseleted already
if we have cruise missiles then our enemy will know that none of their state will be spare.. i.e. no need to fight lah sure all die together. so cruise missile is good buy best buy better buy more more. is it US$1million a piece? But first we better shoot a few satellite up to the space to guide it Mr. Green

LRRP SG

if we buy, they would sure buy.

can you imagine if both sides have it? I dont think SG have the upper hand in this scenario.

Arapahoe SG

i think it would be the interest of SG to have missile defence shield rather than having cruise missile as first strike option or deterence counter strike option. partly we are too small.

<guest> SG

Think about it. When was the last time singapore had a war? And how much was spent on weapons over those years? And how many times gst has increased in those years? Was it worth it?

sgf SG

As a deterence, yes.

Remember, Yamash*ta was on the verge of losing but 'cos his wayang skills were so good, Percival was snooked into surrendering first thinking the Brits were worse off.

Going by your theory, most if not all SEAsian countries have no had wars for ages too. So should they all cut defence spending? Better yet, should they all disband their militaries? Rolling Eyes

Arapahoe SG

think about it. when u lost your right to do the things u do it every day. Than u wonder what happen ? U only live once. Our existing is really a matter of decision.
