That's wheer these F-15s are for. With their bigger & longer range Radar, takeout those SAM & AA from beyond their range.
This is what an F-16 can't do.

no the F16 does SEAD mission as well. It has been seen with the AGM88 anti-radar missiles. what's more this is done without external ECM pod so now you know what's hiding inside that dorsal spine.

they got demonstrate their Mig29 during F1 show leh. show off the tight G-turns haha. unfortunately cannot see very well at the F1 stadium.
Actually Russian builds better planes in term of airframe & maneuverability. MIG-29 can easily out fly a F-16. But they're avionics can't beat those from the Western countries.

They've few crashes for their F-18s. If remember correctly, 2 crashed.

they know that the plane will eventually crash so must but a good ejection system for the pilot mah...US ones dont crash that often so u don't get to see their ejections seats in action..:bsmilie: :bsmilie:

ahem, like I said, that dorsal spine on our F16C/D :)
 

I would really like us to have some of those hawker harriers though :heart:

anyone remember the old airshows at changi (before they build the airport) and RSAF was flying the Hunters?

Ejection seats are for peacetime.

For wartime, its Kamikaze.

Harriers? Hmm... In land constrained Singapore, they might juz be good for supporting ground based troops in Defence standoffs scenarios.

yep..it would really come in useful, especially if our roads and runways are blown to bits..

Then land on enemy terrority? :sweat:

I think die in the crash will be a less painful death. ;p
 

Let go smack at everything u can throw at the enemy and go kamikaze in a blaze of glory.

The kamikaze attacks in WWII against the US Carriers & sucide attacks on the Okinawa beaches did strike fear amongst and baffled the American Marines. But not practical in the long run. :think:

Must Thanks to that Nation that transferred this technology to RSAF.

I think only China & India can do that now. They've the manpower.
