Ever heard of license built? Not everything made in Singapore is
invented by us you know? Especially so for Isreali
equipment.
Furthermore, why did RSN not consider putting some CIWS weapons on
board the LSTs? A pair of Phalanx Block 1B would do good on the LST
both against low skimmers as well as fast speed boats. I still
believe that the reaction time from a radar controlled weapon like
the Phalanx is far superior than a human controlled platform, both
remotely controlled or physical manned ones like the CIS
0.5s.
Export of the LST design and legislation issues on export of US
military equipment.
