NEW FIGHTER REPLACEMENT PROGRAMME (NFRP)
In response to media queries, MINDEF confirmed that it has
narrowed down the selection for the new fighter replacement
programme to Dassaults Rafale and Boeings F-15. MINDEF has
decided not to consider the proposal from BAE Systems any
further.
The Typhoon is a very capable aircraft. However, the committed
schedule for the delivery of the Typhoon and its systems did not
meet the requirements of the RSAF.
