beavan SG

LazerLordz SG

ditzy SG

Its a 2 man turret. Laughing

ditzy SG

Oh, and it supposedly sits 11 uncomfortably. Laughing

rascallyun SG

So what happened? Always though a 25mm gun beats a puny .50 Cal Machine gun anytime. Question

ditzy SG

Do you prefer a photocopier that requires you to give it surgery everytime you make just a copy or a photocopier that just requires you to press the copy button and presto? Laughing

Fairyland SG

There's little doubt in ppl's mind that this machine is the best in SEA now.

I just wonder how much resources is required to keep that way for the next 10 20 years?

Meanwhile there's other demands as well.

The Adnan IFV...used by the Malaysian armed forces.....

The Bionix will be the best once different versions are up......1 thing that the bionix lack is variety....but nonetheless...its damned good looking in my point of view...

tankee1981 SG

The Adnan is an advanced version of the venerable M113 manufactured by the Turkish. My question is how the Singapore Ultras match up to this new IFV,thanks Very Happy

Fairyland SG

It just occur to me that IDF does not really have IFV in their ORBAT?

Why is it so? Correct me if I'm wrong.

zenden9 SG

Because Merkava can accomodate 4-5 infantry inside the tank! Would u want to be inside a M113 or Merkava?

tvdog SG

Does anyone have good pics of SAF vehicles to post here?

Of particular interest will be the Bionix, the 8-wheel Armoured vehicle, the French-made amphibious tank and of course, M113 especially the one with the remote-control cannon.

As for M113 Ultra , I believe Mindef website has a few good one.

HeckKER SG

Merkeva itself is a giant terror..

If Singapore were to purchase it, nevertheless it will raise some shackles..
and hoo haa..

But when fired at the Adnan IFV..
Guarentees Devastating Effect..

Very solid feel..

sidestep1984 SG

singapore onli needs a light chassis with a big gun...more practical imo....

Terrex fits the bill i think..it can be fitted with a big gun

ditzy SG

If we had such heavy vehicles in singapore, LTA will put a stop to it before anyone else can. Laughing

tvdog SG

Thanks man. The one35th site is great.

I've been to the Mindef site but the pics are very small except for those that are part of a special feature. Is there a particular Mindef site I should pay attention to?

bcoy SG

The Israelis still use the principle of APCs - to deliver infantry to the objective. The vehicles are for transport only. Visit the tanknet forums, this topic has been discuss before, there are a number of Isreali tankers in that forum, one or two of them have written military books as well.

LazerLordz SG

We will not get Merkavas.We might be getting the new FCS tank based on the M8 AGS system, with a smoothbore 120mm main gun, based on a United Defense chassis.It came out in Janes late last year if I’m not wrong.
