Those guys are not simply infantry, but Armoured Infantry and are the lucky guys that get to be ferried around in the Bionix.

Noticed that most of them are equipped with SAR-21 - (all in fact).

kohanson SG

wow .. Shocked

cavsg SG

there were some carring M-16s in CNA

SingaporeTyrannosaur SG

Heh, time for those stuff-necked SAR-21 critics to shut up and use the rifle

CX SG

what do u guys make of this?

2 weeks ago, they intrude into our waters.

last week (saturday), Jayakumar gave an hour long speech in parliament basically telling them "up yours Evil or Very Mad "

and yesterday, open mob whose info was released for the FIRST time to the media... with fully armed and equipped troops running around, shouting and armoured vehicles rolling around waiting to move out...

i think its all somewhat related.. even if the open mob was planned WAY in advance, i'm sure the decision to release it to the media was not...

its all a big, gov't directed PR blitz to give those northerners a firm message...

cavsg SG

its being discuss here dun start another thread on the same issue.

Gun SG

I thought the mob is more like a combines-armed activation.

from asiaone -
"The soldiers were from the 10th Singapore Infantry Brigade of the Army's 9th Division, and comprised a battalion of full-time national servicemen and two battalions of NSmen.
Providing support for the infantrymen was a sub-unit from the 41st Singapore Armoured Regiment, made up of full-time servicemen.
Yesterday's exercise was part of the Army's schedule of 20 to 30 mobilisation efforts each year."

Overall, a very effective public message.
10 SIB does not operate any armour. In addition to reserves being called up, there are always other full time units on amber alert (41SAR in this case). SAR21 is not widely used by reserves in the SAF as yet. The M203 gunners are still using the M16/M203 combo (41SAR troopers). Reading the posts, I really wonder if some of you have served your NS?
There was certainly more than one brigade called up, at least 3+ in my opinion. The press covered one only. Some of you know that...........

Great info that you have given in such detail.

The Malaysian Intelligence Service will also say "Banyak Terimah Kasek for the details".

Enough would have been said without elaborating the names of the units, and the compositions of the units, and size of battalions and brigades.

Silenthunter SG

You'll be suprised.....there are many that haven't serve but acted as though they ORDed Laughing

Oh crap!!! I see those scouts using SAR21 too....... there goes the trusty old CAR-15 carbine...... or maybe they're infantry scouts....

Read some treads in this section of the forum (Military Nuts) and found that some of you people are leaking out some classified information without knowing. If you do not know what is classified and what is not…... SHUT UP!! No point for the gov investing so much in information security and defense while some of you guys are speaking like nobody’s businesses…...

sgboy2004 SG

so far, all info here are nothing secretive. Can be found on the mindef website.
