Modern SAF versus 2nd world war Japanese

deathscythe99 SG

This better feature in Straits Times man Razz

paperchicken SG

Dun leave we need you here. Mr. Green

ray243 SG

I want to ask, can the harpoon or other anti-ship missile be powerful to penetrate the armor of battleships?

SibeiSuayKia SG

Yup definitely , if harpoon cannot pierce..den the usa would be using USA WWII Battleships..to block off exocets and surface-skimming missiles

Fairyland SG

Crap talkers add more dimensions to the forum here! End result can only be better.

Alot of forumers here are either in STEngg or some parts of SAF.

Are u from STENGG or SAF? Or maybe your parents working there?

I'm not sure their real motivation is the security of Singapore but rather a marketing move to 'Hai Gong' tax payers money and keep their jobs.

Alot of ppl here seems to think they know better? WHY?! -> Because they are paid to and wear green, blue or white everyday?

Will you allow them to monopolise all views to the rest of Singapore?!

They want to play technology BUT on their own terms! Change is here and now.

MATKOOL SG

YOU MAKE ME SICK! PUI!!
GO BACK TO JAPAN YOU DOG!

LazerLordz SG

Your statement may not be entirely true.I am in SAF but i'm not drawing a cushy paycheck.I'm just another glorified cannon fodder who has spent two years of his life doing unappreciated legwork and living a life full of insults and rank play just so that we can all post in the freedom of our rooms.We need a plurality of voices here and I agree with you on this.But to put down the views of us who serve makes me sick.I do not want to see this place go down and my two years be wasted for nothing..

UandMe SG

SAF is never meant to fight against strong military powers, more like defending ourselves against neighbouring countries...

sgdiehard SG

SAF is never meant to fight against military powers in distant places, strong or weak. It is meant to defend ourselves against enemies coming from, through land next to us. If we expect these enemies to be strong, we need to be stronger.

If japanese militarism rises again and started to conquer SE Asia, don't think we have any choice.

Slywong SG

If our current modern army is pitted against the WWII Japanese army, I think we will have a massacare in hand. This will be the most 1 sided fighting in history.

Before they can even get to Singapore, their force would be reduce significantly by the airforce and arty unit during their long march down Malaya.

After which sending in our armour in will crush their ground forces even more. Their tanks' round and AT round would just bouce off SM1's armour even the M113(Armoured) would survive their assault.

Infantry will do the mopped up operation then.

However, Singapore Armed Forces do not have the power to project itself far due to it limited man power. Therefore, the strategy would only be to repelled and not conquer.

Anyway that is my view only. Mr. Green

Fairyland SG

Did not mean to put down anybody here. Apologies if that's the message you get. Just trying to 'rock the boat' a little, that's all. Keep 'some ppl' awake.

Like u, I too do not want to see Singapore go the wrong way. And sometimes it seems there's only one way......which is incredible to me.

SibeiSuayKia SG

What if the whole Japanese navy instead of going pearl harbor..
comes down here?

and what if they bring 1000 zero mitsubishi fighters along with them?
lol..

its unfair oso for them..

Lets say a major military power wants to annex singapore so as to control the major sea lanes of malacca straits..

Think it will be a tough fight , SGreans maybe not so fiercely patriotic but i think when it comes to national and family survival , we might be pushed..

to fly 20 NGF , our F-35 ..our KC-135 and AWACs sbs...
all our A4-SU cruising high and fast with upgraded engines and radar to
drop bombs escorted by F-16s

Think it will still be impossible.

Anyway in the current state of affairs, SG is not in direct threat of a major military power for 50 years , unless the new indonesian president take steps
to make sure that corruption stops..

and get a higher GDP from the population..

Anyway power projection is impossible unless we buy a aircraft carrier..
which is entirely dumb lol..will become a major target for terrorists as well

THE ANALYST SG

THOUGH I KNOW THAT JAPAN'S WAR IN ASIA WAS BAD, CRUEL AND WICKED, AT LEAST THERE WAS ONE VERY IMPORTANT AND SO TO SPEAK GOOD THING THAT CAME OUT OF THE WAR THAT JAPAN WAGED.

THAT THE WHITE MAN IS ABSOLUTELY NOT SUPERIOR TO TO OTHER RACES Laughing !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Caesar95 SG

No need mention japs? We can even kick Nazis's asses all the way to berlin!

CX SG

try naming a war tat is not bad, cruel and wicked Rolling Eyes

ray243 SG

can singapore navy gprce fair good with the japanese battleship, far-range harpoon missile can hardly scratch the battleship thick amro and we be blasted before we could use torpedoes onboard our MCVs by their 16-inch guns and we did not have the armor thick enough to prorect against…also we hardly had time to built any more big ships to counter the naval threat if we got teleported into 1942 when the japanese are cosing in. Aircraft my do it but they still need to defend our sky

SibeiSuayKia SG

battle ships in US pearl harbor can be sunk...why can't the jap ships be sunk ?

use SS-N-22 sunburn lar.

ray243 SG

the reason anti-ship missile can be so powerful is that nowadys the ships armor are weak and missile penetrate easily, battleship are designed to protect against anything that hit them from the surface like shells from other 12inch+ gun- vessels. we do not have that kind on shells on any ship, also, we did not have enough torpedoes to fair our small navy compared to japanese 600+ ships. We also only have four subs with us which can’t really sink so many enemy vessels.
