Very impressive video, showcasing our military's prowess. And the authentic Singaporean accented "there's a MG on the 3rd floor." & the accompanying "roger roger roger" takes the cake for me haha
Wah Cpt Peter chee was my OC bck then.. Now Ltc already uh.. He is damn bloody ON! U all good Luck ah.. and he also went for ADF tour... if u know wat i mean
why no attached armour plates to shield both sides of the armoured vehicle? to facilitate tyres replacement, the armoured plates could be made to life up like a cover over the tyres compartment. just thinking aloud.
Just a quick few questions. Are the Terrex operators (driver and gunners) part of the organic infantry battalion estab or are they seconded from Armour vocation? Are Terrex infantry battalion commanders or men trained to drive, operate and service the vehicle, like how Armour Infantry are, or are they simply "passengers" trained to integrate infantry tactics with the vehicle? Most infantry camps are to small to store a battalion worth of terrexes in the MT line. Are they stored at some Amour camp? All this is very interesting to me! I'm a pre-motorized infanteer. Wish motorization had happened in my time :(
Aurek Besh I was in one of the first few batches where they were 'experimenting' on us back in 2009 Some battalions, like 5SIR are permanently assigned terrexes. so the driver and gunner are organic to battalion. not so for all the battalions. There is no time to cross train you to drive the terrex, but I'm pretty sure it would'nt be difficult to learn how to shoot the weapons or drive it 'off the record', similar to how cross training happens in many battalions. The infnatrymen definitely have to help service the vehicle. the driver and gunner cannot handle alone.
If everything is linked to the battlefield management system, then this system better be well protected from enemy jamming, or else everyone who depend so much on it will be in trouble and confusion.
A good, effective armoured combat vehicle has the 3 elements of: Firepower, Mobility, and Protection. Both wheeled and tracked vehicles have their pros and cons.
The Terrex is a great idea but I see many limitations. The BMS/ACMS isn't as fast as we think, interaction and update takes too long in combat situations. The mounted cameras have blind spots which may allow the enemy to flank. Veh acceleration takes considerable time. Haven't seen it traverse deep waters despite having two propellers. In the event the RCWS jams, the Terrex becomes vulnerable. A-T counter-measures perhaps? But I'm sure the engineers are constantly looking to improve the design.
How does the Terrex compare to the Stryker series of ICVs, 105mm Mobile Gun Systems (MGS), and the 120mm Mortar Carriers? I know they have almost the same remote-controlled weapon station and individually pressurized tires. Apart from these, how much better (or not) is the Terrex?
the stryker is smaller and its rcws control screen is abit more hi def. the stryker also has a variant with a 30mm cannon...but the terrex is definitely more comfortable, it has foldable safari bed seats compared to the steel bar seats of the stryker, and stronger air con! sporean soldiers will know which vehicle they like more...
meybe there are fears of entanglement issues? The hydraulics required to lift the sides would increase the cost of the vehicle with not much improves defence. Size would become bigger as well. The wheels are pobably tough enough to handle bullets. any other attacks would probably come from the top or front. Makes changing the wheels alot easier as well which speed is important in such situations
Personally, since the idea behind showcasing all of our capabilities acts as a form of deterrence. It would be freakin' awesome, to see more professional sounding command and control. Or rather, one with more GUSTO! It doesnt mean we have to sound like US soldiers when giving commands, Singaporean sounding yes, but it would help if our troops sound fierce. Like really into the action. Ive seen it in our troops before, during my NSF days, why not in this video? Movements bound to bound and all, looks presentable enough for me, just needs more UMPH in the orders, instructions and interactions within the troopers. That "we got MG on the third floor" really spoiled the video for me. We got the guns and equipment, show the world we do have real men in our Army. Cheers to all current and ex Alpha Wing cadets and instructors. Above beyond as ONE! ALPHA!
30mm cannon? I think you mean the 105mm MGS variant. The MGS was designed to serve as a light anti-armour vehicle capable of reaching 100km/h. The standard Stryker is still a ICV fitted with a 12.7x99mm MG or a 40x53mm AGL.
Top Gamers an aircraft carrier serves ONLY offensive purposes. You don’t defend your waters with an aircraft carrier, especially not with Singapore’s smaller waters. That would be a sign of agression toward neighbouring counties, and thus we don’t have it.
I'm shocked that MINDEF doesn't know the difference between a motorised vs. mechanised infantry unit. 5 SIR is a mechanised infantry battalion as they are transported by armoured transport instead of regular 2/3 tonners. The 2G Army would have been considered motorised, aside from infantry units in Armour units. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mechanized_infantry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motorized_infantry
Ok, but the Stryker is combat proven in Iraq and Afghanistan while the Terrex is just deployed in training exercises. Does the SAF have any MRAP vehicles with V-shaped hulls like the Cougar AFV? The Cougar (either 4x4 or 6x6) has a reputation of surviving a direct hit from a 500lb IED and Explosively-formed Penetrators (EFP) which are the most significant threat posed to infantrymen and ground troops today.
this kind of vehicle only good in urban swift deployment, even though they can move quite well in muddy landscapes due to their 4-by-4 drive. track vehicle will still prevail end of days...
terencecollects it’s pointless to say there’s a weapon that can counter it because obviously there is. It would survive a nuclear blast either, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t effective. And I doubt the main issue is other armoured vehicles, most likely just infantrymen.
Why do all mindef video always have these accelerated unnatural clips as though our vehicles are always not fast enough for the audience. please tell your media department to take it more serious and not turn it into a charlie chaplin comedy.
Add on "armour protection"? I dare not leave my single life to waste, i don't even see a american's reactive armour plating. Trust me, a single RPG shell to the side would destroy/ or almost heavily damaging it. Nice amphibious vehicle, bears resemblance to a american LAV. If you do not believe what i said, then i'd love to see if it's a light armored (transport) vehicle OR not. SAF please test it against a browning .50cal or M82 barret.
I believe it is able to stop a .50 cal as its armour is built to take .50 and 7.62 shots. (Wikipedia) However, and RPG or 25mm Bushmaster cannon would be able to destroy it easily
dang peace keepers the are peace keeepers i wanna join the air controll or air fource if you want the truth and realy i would get in some action with my girl the f-16 shes beautiful
mrcannotfindaname main battle tanks can't even handle a hellfire missile. In fact, No tank in existence worldwide probably can. So no it won't. but the terrex is not built to fight an apache. so whats the point?

During my NSF..have to walk 15km to the objective then dawn attack..haizzz
1SIR 1st and foremost..
10 mono
sunPitong ji'ii 13th mono. 1st and foremost hooah!
Don't worry. not everyone so lucky got terrex.
Is because u were n the Guards unit or commando
17th Mono 6SIR last mono before the Light Infantry battalion closes ☠️

Respect from Algeria for the Singaporian Army.
bendida abdelkhalek Singapore army is bad
i was talking about the equipement
Algeria has the biggest part of experience against terrorism.
you should your commanders in the us army .
You can mount even a 120mm cannon on the Terrex.
Then it'll function as a hybrid tank but speed will be slower due to the weight.
Yap, Stryker MGS (plus other Stryker variants) has already mounted the Trophy Active Protection System.
So it has Firepower, Mobility and Protection.
Allround Mobility Protective Armed Vehicle Vs 1 RPG Boy.
Who wins?
The troops inside who kill the boy as he stands with his big ass rocket to take a shot.
Your right.
That's why the Stryker uses the 105mm cannon instead to balance firepower & mobility. :-)
Wah Cpt Peter chee was my OC bck then.. Now Ltc already uh.. He is damn bloody ON! U all good Luck ah.. and he also went for ADF tour... if u know wat i mean
Many thanks.

cyberpioneer.. Pls do a detailed coverage on AEW GULF 550.. This plane in operation and theres no coverage.. Thank you

I agree
Correct akin to reading skill of a street directory of yesteryear to a modern GPS
Yea... Let's see how it fares during wartime........

yes of course!
How does the Terrex compare to the Stryker series of ICVs, 105mm Mobile Gun Systems (MGS), and the 120mm Mortar Carriers? I know they have almost the same remote-controlled weapon station and individually pressurized tires. Apart from these, how much better (or not) is the Terrex?
I would like to see the Terrex mount a 40mm cannon to enhance its firepower.
With this Motorised Infantry from SIRs, then what's the point with Armour Infantry??
This vehicle is so much better than the bronco. Got aircon or not?
the stryker is smaller and its rcws control screen is abit more hi def. the stryker also has a variant with a 30mm cannon...but the terrex is definitely more comfortable, it has foldable safari bed seats compared to the steel bar seats of the stryker, and stronger air con! sporean soldiers will know which vehicle they like more...

i guess most of them dont feel comfortable when being filmed? i know i feel awkward AF in front of a camera lol
Bro our wayang lvl alr highest in the world, still want somemore?
hebat keren sangat terlatih
wow , so no more road march?

My unit!!!! YEAHAAA!!
Dear cyberpioneertv , why isn't there tank destroyer in Singapore?
Also an aircraft carrier.
Top Gamers an aircraft carrier serves ONLY offensive purposes. You don’t defend your waters with an aircraft carrier, especially not with Singapore’s smaller waters. That would be a sign of agression toward neighbouring counties, and thus we don’t have it.

Power..
I agree with that
Oh, I saw them at last year's Open House.
Apache AH-64D Longbow
Yes, you can have machine full stop.
Can we have machine full stop?
who is the best!?
Won't that sacrifice troop capacity for the loading bay? With that much weight on the wheels, I think it'll be very hard to drive offroad.
Did u watch the video
Terrex is designed to take mine blast.
this kind of vehicle only good in urban swift deployment, even though they can move quite well in muddy landscapes due to their 4-by-4 drive. track vehicle will still prevail end of days...
WHO'S THE BEST!!!
👍👍
Johnson Tranchida!
WHOS THE BEST!
WHO'S THE BEST!
any country out there with EMP capabilities??
Most military equipment have EMP shielding anyway
Aug has been doin pretty good since it was buffed in cs
Yes. 25mms fired from a M242 Bushmaster will go straight through.
terencecollects it’s pointless to say there’s a weapon that can counter it because obviously there is. It would survive a nuclear blast either, but that doesn’t mean it isn’t effective. And I doubt the main issue is other armoured vehicles, most likely just infantrymen.

Eh Kenneth chua
look at 2:02
The Singapore Army has purchased the MaxxPro MRAPs for use in Afghanistan.....
Add on "armour protection"? I dare not leave my single life to waste, i don't even see a american's reactive armour plating. Trust me, a single RPG shell to the side would destroy/ or almost heavily damaging it. Nice amphibious vehicle, bears resemblance to a american LAV.

Lol you never see the Ukraine conflict. Even with reactive amour, heavy mortar and katyusha fire still can destroy the vehicle
why no 4 SIR >.< HAHA !
dang peace keepers the are peace keeepers i wanna join the air controll or air fource if you want the truth and realy i would get in some action with my girl the f-16 shes beautiful
Hahahaha...
The LTC looks like a kid.
+Leeroy Jenkins dude, he's in his 40s.
Leeroy Jenkins size does not matter in modern warfare. All you need is s little finger to pull the trigger or push a button and you are dead.
This method of entering a room is suicidal. I will blow up the windows from afar and then lob a couple of grenades into the room.
Terrex is one of the APC that i like.It looks very powerful .I saw it when i was in the drill Kocha-Singa2012
Which country are you from?
Miss my time in guards... Long live 1st guards
All mighty Terrex, can it handle one hellfire missile from Apache?
If Apache pilot use hellfire missile at the Terrex, he should be charged for waste of hellfire. The 20mm guns are good enough lol.
mrcannotfindaname it might not. but than again, we are the ones with the Apache.
But we are not the only one. Also, Hellfire is not only for Apache. What about other platforms?
mrcannotfindaname main battle tanks can't even handle a hellfire missile. In fact, No tank in existence worldwide probably can. So no it won't. but the terrex is not built to fight an apache. so whats the point?
David Ng what about tank equipped with explosive reactive armour? Surely there must be some form of protection on tanks to protect them from Hellfire.
