I am aware that the responsibility of attacking a beach front
lies with the Guards and support from the RSN and RSAF. They will
use LSV and A vehicles like the AMX-10. The RSAF will provide Super
Pumas for heli insertions and overhead air-cover in the form of the
AH-64D Apaches. The RSN will provide the transport in the form of
the fast craft and maybe the LST. My question is that what if we
are required to attack a beach by surprise and over a long distance
away? Using the LST may take too long. Do we need the large
hovercraft such as those from the Russians for rapid troop
transport and eventual assault over water? I have noticed that we
do have hovercraft such as at the SAF ferry terminal at Changi,does
the SAF owns that? The book by Tim Huxely also mentioned that
Singapore have engage in research of hovercrafts before. Please
enlighten me,thanks
