  • Realistic battlefield effects, targets that shoot back with laser technology, and an enhanced system to track training performance are among the features of the Singapore Armed Forces' new Murai Urban Battle Circuit, which will open from April 2024. CNA's Davina Tham tried her hand at the training. cna.asia/49mLA4x

    Let the soldiers play paintball every week. Confirm will improve reflex, teamwork and strategy skill.

      It's reliable, it's relatively easy to make, easy to maintain, easy to repair and most importantly, every component that makes up the tool is in the public domain.
      Well, at least, that's what was the plan when they released the schematics to counter their version of near peer adversaries.

    I have idea of a speedy r.c instead that the person considered as "running", I think enemy don't do this, like a patrol, if not we can't be shocked they keep being at points to "surprise", if create skillsfuture quick block training for that moment at all martial art group too, block from hit and disallow grasp while having nothing, holding a plastic bag, holding a sling bag, wearing a bag.

      Yeah man they should just improve the sensor equipment for Opfor and introduce AR/VR technology for simulator rather than crappy drone with camera that can shoot back LOL.

      @an7842
      There's only one use case of a crappy drone with camera that can shoot back though, and that's when it's being used as a drone that can shoot and not die. (i.e. literally an autonomous or semi-autonomous weapon, or a 50cmx50cm flying drone with the capability to shoot.)
      Other than that, 100% agree that should improve opfor.

      Yeah I wonder why all this was done when OPFOR is there. Humans can creep, crawl, hide, escape and call your bluff. Much more challenging than just a static target waiting for you to open the door.

    1:56, 2:01, 2:06, 2:19, 2:37 Not shaming the journalist but, without basic instruction, that's very dangerous. That is no different from pasting AED on yourself and wondering why the patient is not getting shocked.
    This should not be a replacement for any form of Opfor as humans are a lot more complicated and creative than standing pop targets.
    Other complains are: No recoil, no feedback, no reload training, no training to have discipline to put non filled magazines in the right order (i.e. tactical reload), and most importantly, NO IA DRILL (this is one reason why forward assist exists on a different rifle platform). See the red light feedback at the front of the barrel, she is just depressing the entire mechanism between 2:05-7.
    Also no learning from pain (i.e. paintball or airsoft).

      Also humans are a lot more complicated than that.
      Shooting like this assumes that your target is the same as a shooting range target, who:
      1. doesn't move
      2. isn't paying enough attention to shoot on sight
      3. doesn't fire from any other position than standing
      4. doesn't drop and fire
      5. doesn't hide behind obstacles
      6. doesn't react to explosive device
      7. doesn't hurt you or your team enough that you need to perform cover fire and aid at the same time.

    Not faulting the reporter, but they should have at least trained her to hold the rifle properly before doing the simulation.
    The butt is not even rested against her shoulder when she shoots. If it were live/blank rounds, her shots will be all over the place.

    Despite the huge defense budget, SAF showed the world how incompetent and unprofessional their soldiers can be in warfare. They are poor at urban warfare, unrealistic scenarios, no proper door breaching, failed CQB, and brazenly shot through hostage during hostage rescue. If Singaporeans are taken hostage and hear that SAF is coming to your rescue, say your last words because you have a high chance of not coming out alive.
