Kilo_One_One SG

hell no, i dont play cs,and the supposed flash in cs doesnt actually works that way.. it comes from actual CT guides from Sayaret Mat’Kal(Israeli CT unit) anyone can get access to these stuff easily. i certainly wont expose names of the operators, cause thats the main secret.

wuming78 SG

well.. watever we know and can be found in books, etc, are more or less wat they admit to. and o cos there r aloto things we know but they dun admit to having altho its quite obvious. this is jus political and strategic i guess.. jus like to recently declassified CBRE. and o cos there r things we all dun know (or veri few of us know or can prove) and they o cos dun admit to. tts the real secret.

guys, i always believe that secret weapons are the weapons that we modified ourselves, it’s what inside the weapons not the weapon itself. many countries have the F16’s but all F16’s are different…it’s rediculous that when we buy weapons other countries knows except us the singaporean…for example we all know that we have some flying tanker, 1st with some C130B (before the KC135 lah)...but are you guys aware that the whole world who read flight international knows about it sometime in 1982? when singapore aproached the israelis to modified the existing C 130B, but it was published in singapore straits times only around the 90’s? and between that period not even pioneer magazines report it. also in the almost mid 80’s, i only knows about singapore having the I-hawk and rapier from the malaysian new straits times that my school mate shows me, it was never reported in singapore at that time..so whatever weapon that our countries buying, other countries probably knew about it even before we get to ship it here…there are many more examples, all you guys need to do is go to bookshops and do some reading. always remember that any 2 persons who knows a secret is never a secret….

Its not just about secret or restricted information - its also about the way some posts are made out - the "I know more than you do" type of tone or attitude. We can do without that and focus on constructive discussions.

Spider Web - you post at the Phillipine forums?

EXCO SG

Not true. The CDF and Service Chiefs know about the same "secret", so its not a secret anymore? What reasoning is that?

Like I mentioned earlier, Its all well and good as long as public domain information is discussed. That is, information that is available to the public. For those shady pieces of information, it is best to state its source as well, if you can't, don't throw it out here and make a fool of yourself, because no one here will believe it. And don't violate something called the OSA as well.

The last thing we need here is people going around and claiming/posting things that are very obviously not public information. Like bcoy posted earlier, we must also drop that arrogant and discriminating attitude. Those who are regular here have their fair share of experiences. People who come in with such an attitude will simply get blackmarked.

spider web SG

we bought the F16 from who? american….we sent some to whom for modification? israelis….are you so sure only the 2 big shots here knows about it?

spider web SG

to bcoy

the answer is yes. i found it by accident while browsing, and i just read it Smile ...i'm surprise at the way they beg for weapons. very entertaining Laughing ....here's the site for those who didn't believe me:

spider web SG

to to bcoy, one more thing….i never ask for any question regarding secret weapons.

duotiga83 SG

u r onli half correct for the F-16.......in public domain...wad is inside the big spine of our Djs.....we can onli guess though Jane's world aircraft doesn't reveal much of the content of it.......

On the way SG

Dear Bcoy and Exco,
I have news for u. Where do u think the SOF get their training from?Locally? Did u think they developed all their tactics by themselves?The answer is no. Do you think they got training from SAS? GSG- 9? The Israelis? SEALs? The answer is yes to all of the above. Do you think the countries that they received their training from did not quietly evaluate the standard and quality of our SOF for their own intelligence service? Of course they did. They probably have the names, photos, favourite food of all the senior officers and NCOs in the SOF. Even the traditions are the same as the other elite units they received their training from. For example, there is a brass ship's bell that is hang in a public place in the SOF camp. Anytime you cannot tahan anymore, you just go and ring the bell. This will signify that you want to drop out and leave the SOF. Gee, doesn't that sound familiar. I wonder who else has this tradition. The SEALs and the SAS maybe? Don;t be naive. There are countries out there that know much much more about the SAF than all the forumners here combined. If you want limits on a forum, or if u want to self-censor yourself, go to the PAP website. I am not interested in that, ALready got too many restrictions in my daily life.
Besides, your little rule is administered arbitrarily. Someone started a thread saying they have inside info that the RSAF has selected the F-18, and I didn;t see anyone tell him to shut up and not spill secrets. Instead, there was a lively discussion on that thread. What gives?

wuming78 SG

i think wat anyone posts here is realli up to his own discretion.. his freedom. and o cos the moderators' Razz

anyway most of us guys here at one point in time or another would most likely have gone thru ns.

so we shud all be familiar wif the oath we all take under the official secrets act not to disclose info that are mabbe sensitive. o cos the definition of that may not be clear.

so its veri much up to one's good sense and conscious to decide wat to say and wat not to say in public forums like these.

if one chooses to jus say anything knowing they mabbe sensitive den its up to him/her to suffer the consequences or live wif his conscious.

but o cos if its something tt can already be found out there for all to consume, albeit takes harder searching, den bringing it up to share can indeed allow us all to know more.

so its not abt censorship.. more abt responsibility.

Kilo_One_One SG

sensorship should be used if it endangers life eg. people's identity, weaknesses in systems etc. the fact is if it doesnt hurt anyone that i suppose we can talk about it. btw papers said that SOF was trained by Israeli CT unit Sayaret Mat'Kal, UK's SAS and American Delta Force. these units got the experience in handling hostage takers. It all usually ends with double-taps to the heads of the terrorists. easier to make martyrs out of them then sent them to jail and their friends do another hijack and negotiate for them. thats why SOF killed all 3 of the Pakistani terrorists. I heard somewhere that STAR team was trained by Israeli border guard CT team Sayaret YAMAM
and GSG-9 although its not confirmed.

BoYisHbOy SG

i tink they will hide some info.......

EXCO SG

Yes, I understand your point that certain units are trained overseas. Have those countries released information about the unit which train there? When it comes to a unit like the SOF, a lot of guesswork is involved, more often than not we try to link them with the doctrines/operations of other elite forces. Of course, nothing is wrong with that, because that is your personal deductions.

Lets not get into a pissing contest on what we can talk about or not. Everyone who has gone thru NS should know what they can talk about, and what they can't. The moderators here have a very fined tuned sense of such matters as well.

Viper52 SG

The moderators here have stated it before and I'll state it again. We'll remove posts that discusses things which are out of the public domain. By public domain, we mean things that:

- In terms of arms sales, equipment that the SAF does not acknowledge to be having, or equipment the original vendor does not acknowledge to have sold to Singapore

- In terms of training and capabilities, things that have not been discussed in the public domain (newspapers, print media etc) are not allowed.

- Rumours must be pointed out as such. This is the reason why the post about rumours Singapore has got the F/A-18 were left undeleted. The poster made it clear it was such

- Its been posted before and I'll post this again. Should anyone come into contact with something unknown in the public domain in the course of their work etc, please leave that out of this forum. If you have to blab about it, please go somewhere else to blab about it. If you're interested in violating the OSA, please go ahead, but leave the other moderators and me out of it. We have no interest in getting into trouble with violating the OSA and seeing this forum shut down. Thank you

There are a lot of things that "You know I know" but are still kept classified by Mindef, and as long as it classified it stays out of this forum. Period

bcoy SG

For the second time - its not so much about secret or restricted information that we already know - its also about the way some posts are made out - the "I know more than you do" type of tone or attitude that we can do without here. Perhaps if the post was re-phased in a better tone, then it would have been better.

redrooster79 SG

i agree with you, although i have not been in these forums long but it does seem that there is a general culture of one-upsmanship in this forum. People die die also want to have the last word.

igggy SG

does it make any difference?
