U see our fellow indonesian this is how u fight over a food who has better food ...not like u indonesia who always start to claiming dish from your country !! Stupid indonesia
So if Singapore wants to start a war they have to do it quick and take over Malaysia, better let them to develop Malaysia and become a very strong country, let Sabah and Sarawak to be an Independent country, most of their development are getting drag by the Malaysian Central Government, because they can't use the religious manefesto to take control of the Sabah Sarawak majority.

@Beng Liew Lim China already tolerate those courntries. It is not our fault since we found those islands first in hundreds years ago. And china is not interested in others territory. If you konw the langfang repubilc you will understand this. Langfang republic was established by chinese people in kalimantan and Chinese emperor reject them to be part of china. ln addition, the rise of china can also be benefit to local ethnic chinese in malaysia. Although you are a malaysia citizen and you must be loyal to your nation chinese people in malaysia still have little political right.
Hi i am Bangladeshi .... i am a construction worker i live in singapore almost 5 years . I really don't expect any war between Singapore and Malaysia . Singaporean people are really nice and open mindful . I love Singapore from my heart.
On behalf of both countries, I would like to apologize regarding how many uh... Passionate comments there are on this video. Hopefully the algorithm benefits outweigh the cons. Regardless, really interesting video. I like how in-depth you go in discussing the differences between the two countries military powers. Definitely subscribed!
Tbh tho, the militaries of both countries are built for different purposes. Singappre military are built to resemble Israel’s military in which they are excellent at early offensive attack and defending a small area. While Malaysian military are built to police the SEA waters. They are more of a pirate buster than a country conqueror. They both have very different doctrines and its very unlikely they would even want to fight each other
My daughter was stationed at mountain home air force base for a couple of years. Her expertise was in the computer world and in intelligence. She told me she became friends with Singaporean air force pilots who were training at Mountain Home for some pretty intensive training. She told me these pilots were damned good and Singapore spared no expense in getting them the best training. Though many counties in the U.S. are bigger than this city-state, Singapore is an extremely well equipped military force to reckon with. The air force has top notch fighters, transports, and multi role helicopters. My daughter says Singapore invests millions, if not billions for defense annually and a lot of that money goes for training. She said any country in the region declaring war on Singapore would be suicidal as Singapore is well equipped, armed with missiles, bombs and the best jets and fighters. Like the U.S., the pilots get a lot of flight time with training from USAF flight instructors. Singapore can take care of herself at times of conflict. Why would Malaysia want to go to war with a powerhouse like Singapore?
Don't worry, the Malaysian 🇲🇾 artillery will do some damage to all Singaporean 🇸🇬 aircraft runway, so the Singaporean 🇸🇬 military pilot can't landed their plane 😎 .
@Alexandria School of Science Even Isra-Hell 🔥 with a strong military can't destroy Hamas, a small militia group from Palestine 🇵🇸 . So, how a small island country like Singapore 🇸🇬 can destroy a well trained Malaysian 🇲🇾 Armed Force ? 😎 .
@@wysrl Even Isra-Hell 🔥 have many F-35 aircraft, but they still can't destroy Hamas, a small militia group from Palestine 🇵🇸 . So, how F-35 aircraft owned by Singapore 🇸🇬 can destroy a well trained Malaysian 🇲🇾 Armed Force ? 😎 .
Twandepan And so if I promote my new military project to either of the government I can use this video as a reference to increase the chance of my project getting funded. Like I should promote to Singapore side a quick solution that allows its infrastructures and equipment to self repair. Alright let me start drafting it with CAD programmes, should I use Pro Enginning or Auto desk inventor?
"War is the continuation of politics by other means." Clauswitz You cannot separate war from politics. But I'll indulge you. For Singapore and Malaysia to get to this stage, the politicians on both sides would have been utter imbeciles.
Simon Tay so everytime you arm wrestle with someone, you do so because you hate your opponent? Of course not. You just do so to see who has the bigger arm muscles. This is literally that.
Happens every time. It's one of the reason the US military used zombies in a recent planning exercise, so they didn't have to deal with a bunch of idiots taking things out of context.
That's why this topic shouldn't be a general discussion. It can form a negative perception in the general public and instill a passion for war for no reason.
It's funny to see people getting triggered about this and arguing lol... This is just a "what if" video and don't get too shitty about it. Malaysia and Singapore wouldn't really go to war because both countries have their own problems to solve. Salam to both Malaysian Citizens and Singapore's🙏
Malaysia: nasi lemak SG: chilli crab Malaysia: ayam penyet SG: bee hoon Malaysia: apam balik SG: curry fish head Thailand: HELLO THERE I HAVE (insert random number, 20-1010101010010010101) DISHES! Malaysia and SG: KO
When the Japanese invaded Singapore, the locals expected the British to defend the island. Instead, the British just packed up and left. Singapore built its military with the mindset that there will be no one to rely on in case of an invasion, that's why they spend so much effort to build the biggest military force in the region. Their military training is professional and well equipped. They also take reservist training seriously. Also, Singapore hires Nepali Gurkha. With that mindset, the scenario of this video should be the other way around.
From Singapore here. This analysis is pretty commendable although there are strategies on our side here which I am certain can’t be openly shared. Nevertheless, we don’t want a war. We love Malaysia. Ask any Singaporeans and we will tell you we love Malaysia. Malaysians share very similar cultures to Singapore and we Singaporeans enjoy taking the random holidays to tour Malaysia. Nobody here in their right sense would want to fight Malaysia. I know, your analysis was based on hypothesis, but why would any of our countries want to destroy the many decades of peace and prosperity? Both sides will suffer greatly if a war do break out. It is better to exercise patience and understanding than to ruin the many years of harmony and interdependency.
But if theoretically if there is a war Singapore would try to have johor without fighting honestly consideirng alot of Singaporeans stay there and Malaysians that work in Singapore stays there.
Sometime war is an avenue to distract the population. Look at China invasion of Vietnam or Japanese invasion of Korea during the 1600s . Didn't Singapore always become a Malaysian target board whenever they had domestic issue. Well someone did says war is just part of political tool .
Sakiru Eiji not sure about that man. Fight or not really depends on the government of both countries. So vote wisely for the right government and we will have peace. As what Mark Ong said below in another reply, MY ministers for the last few decades have always used Singapore as a target board whenever they have their own domestic issues. By doing that they diverted all the attention and hatred of the citizens of Malaysia towards Singapore instead of themselves. I just hope the government over there will stand up and do a good job for the people rather than divert blames to us. This have always been my sincere wishes.
Mark Ong Yes it’s true. But we just got to exercise patience, not because we are a small country, but because it doesn’t benefit both sides in the long run.
@@andyhooutdoors I beg to differ in your opinion of both sides losses in war . Aggressor sometimes does pay . However lesson learned in 6 day war is that Israel gain it's strategic gap in Sinai peninsula . There are some parts up north look always juicy for me. The terrain up north is no walk in the park with high hills , jungle and if we are lucky plantation . Urban dwellers like the conscripts corps of ours may be boggles down in operation due to topology and logistics. Esienhower qouted all plan are useless when war start but planning is essential. We could talk till the cow comes home but history may be playing out otherwise. Sun Tzu says know your enemy know yourself and you shall be victorious in hundred battle . Do we know ourselves or do we know our enemies ? There is an on going joke in Singapore saying no war need to be fought as we had been invaded by foreigners. If you wanna go India go Changi business park. If you wanna go Philippines go lucky plaza. This is also true in the army . When I was conscripted left and right are true blue local . Some may have slang , some are hokkien Peng . Ultimately you know you have a common goal to defend your land . Fast forward 10 years down the road, I head back for reservist I got a shock of my life . Almost half of NSF is non local . RP russian, driver PRC, store man Myanmar, clerk Viet . And the best of the best part medic Nigerian . I almost got a shock of my life . I look at my helmet to make sure it's not blue because I thought I had been sent on a UN mission . So the phycology of things are very much different as compared to 20 years ago. On top of that are you lead by lions or sheep ? 1990 when we celebrate our 25 years of independence old fox up north mobilize a large exercise near us . Our grunts all given 120 rounds , standby at border waiting for them . Today one unarmed maritime boat park in our sovereign , use loud header talk non stop to ask them leave . If it was old man time , it will be no nonsense. Old man would had ordered the boat be forcefully boarded tow back to port and start negotiation. They will never allow some MB to parades in our waters . Lesson learned in beginning of WW2 french has the best tank Char 1b outgunned anything German panzar could throw at it. However French lost its land because leadership is passive . There was this interesting statement made by a reservist Sgt when I small talk with him in an MG nest . He says if the authority had given to him even with a pistol he will show aggressive stands and fire at the intruder. But every single time he needs to feedback and ask permission even with a bazooka he is powerless . There you go I pretty sums up everything , not by gun nor power but by the will of the men .
Until this thought experiment isnt just a thought, it has actually happened if you know the history behind Singapore and Malaysian. The threat to cut Singapore's water supplies, the joint military exercise held a mere 50km off Singapore's border and on a 'coincedental' National day parade where most military assets were on deployed for the march, the still unresolved airspace and sea borders. These are real life events that have happened. Going further back, Indonesian did openly threaten to go war with Malaysia when Singapore was still part of the federation. This video.is at best insensitive and at worst, a provocation. Thought experiment up his
Okay, I'm getting tired reading some of the comments here. So, if you people had not realize it yet, this is a scenario, not an actual declaration of war. It's not as if Malaysia would actually declare war on Singapore, Binkov's just making assumptions - with a very specific types of rules - IF a hypothetical war does happen. Not the actual war itself, nor it's cause. And as for the "Call allies" argument some people may rant about in the comments, Binkov clearly mentioned in the start of the video that "No allies are involved" or something similar to that. Again, of does not necessarily imply that they - Singapore and Malaysia - would have no allies whatsoever. But this video is simply depicting a plausible scenario of “IF” these two Nations declare war, with no allies, who would've the bigger the possibility of achieving victory. Please, know the difference. And lastly. This is a video, made by the same guy who made the video about Russia and China fighting the Us to kick them out of Japan. It's not entirely accurate when it comes to actual alliances and diplomacy. But I do have to give props to Binkov for doing a thorough research for each and everyone of his scenarios, as they are all well made, and somewhat believable.
@@IDK-fv3hu which is why we still quarrel over it. IMO malaysia has better Nasi Lemak, but we have better chicken rice. Still, we won't go to war over that
@@subie1019 actually Singapore is neutral. Friendly to both China and US. But not too friendly. Malaysia also did the same things, but not so neutral. Malaysia friendly with China and US also. But tend to more friendly towards China than US.
Malaysia is currently in the midst of a political overhaul and is way too busy sorting out its own problems to be dealing with anything else, much less a nation that has the backing of basically every major superpower in the world
During ww2 LT Adan and the Malay regiment sacrificed themselves to defend against the Imperial Japanese. if Malaysia and Singapore go to war, wouldnt his sacrifice be wasted?
Singapore will never go to war with its neighbours. The culture of both countries are so similar, with families, relatives and friends on both sides of the Johor Straits. Unless, there are no other solutions and Singapore is pushed to the walls. The US would be involved way ahead, whether diplomatically or militarily. On tactics, the beachhead in western Johor is insufficient to defend in depth. Pushing to Malacca might allow sufficient space for various divisions to manoeuvre.
I am almost certain we would invade Malaysia the moment the water is cut back in the day we were reliant on them for it. But in 2020, I think true lah, won't invade even if they cut the water. Singapore don't need buffer de. I'm almost certain the strategy is to spearhead to KL in 7 days. SG really cannot take a long war, strategic depth is one thing but the economic aftermath is another.
@@ayuhmembawang5391 I'm Singaporean and while we probably can't do it in 7 days( that is straight BS ) REPORTS: From 0-30 days winner: SG 31-120 days: SG 120-180: SG/Malay 181-360: Malay 360+: we all die liao
Lmao but this is still a poor scenario. Political power directly influences military power. For example Malaysia wouldn't touch Singapore shopping because it would risk war with other nations. Singapore would fight very offensively striking deep into the country with air/Navy or assassinate major leaders to force a quick surrender.
@@kakerake6018 THE WHOLE POINT OF IT IS AS A HYPOTHETICAL WAR OH MY GOD It's really, REALLY obvious that if Singapore gets US support they'll win but its isn't 'Singapore and US vs Malaysia' it's just Singapore and Malaysia

My god these comments. Half of them are just butthurt Malaysian and Singaporeans talking about allies and how it’ll never happen. This is all theoretical. He’s not saying they’ll go to war, he’s just implicating the strategies and outcomes IF a war were to happen (which is highly unlikely)
War War War...Stupiak,nobody goin to War,everyone in Singapore n Malaysia peace loving nation..if any War ever happen its from Big Strong powerful Country...where cooperation between Nation is utmost important to Defend our Shore....
Malaysia and Singapore will forever need each other in every aspect in peacetime and war nomatter how we want to deny it. These 2 countries going to war is mindless not to mention the love we have for each other.
M,Sia n SG are unlikely to go for actual war, the only thing we afraid of is proxy war created by a third parties. MS/SG you like it or not is like one distance family
i do feel patriotic for my country after knowing how high of military tech we have but in all seriousness, i love my malaysian friends and i hope a war between us will NEVER EVER COME and instead we will work together to create a bright future as one
Fellow sinkie here. Technology is only half of the equation. The other half is whether our soldiers have superior motivation, morale and training. Having served ns I have serious doubts about the human factor..
@DL2R you're in the wrong place if you're looking for a serious discussion about geopolitics.. even if we are talking on binkovs channel. Edutainment at best. The human factor is difficult to estimate and depends on context. Is the country going to be invaded? Are our interests going to be affected? All the more reason to fight or else there'll be nothing left. Training standards are deliberately set lower than other professional armies like the USA and UK as the SAF is a conscripted army. It is dependent on public support and each training death is one too many. During a period of tension perhaps the training tempo will be ramped up? Will the conscripts match up to the professionals of an opposing force? Who knows.
Alahai Malaysians , no need to bash this guy la, I've been watching him long before this video was made. This is the basis of his channel, simulating war strategy of various scenarios. I do enjoy his opinion, and any malaysian know for a fact that our military is lacking in funding, proportionally affecting the superiority. So x pyh la suruh dia delete video la, suruh buat research la. Malu la, youtube ni satu dunia tgk
The presentation of this battle is amazing. Data for the Singaporean forces and probable actions by them do make sense. However, the start of this conflict seems off. As you mentioned that Malaysia would be offensive to take control Singapore, but the simulation shows that Malaysia was not even ready to begin with all their troops were not even positioned for offensive operation prior to the operation. If Malaysia was planning to take Singapore, wouldn't the simulation should start with Malaysian troops and assets well positioned in offensive manner as necessary? Anyway, the video is great :)
After seeing the video, I can agree on what you said. The presentation shows as if Malaysia just out of the blue declared war on Singapore without any preparation whatsoever, it's like they mistakenly pressed a button that declared war
@@BABiFun Actually I was kinda surprised to see of how this hypothetical/simulation of war was presented. I've watched almost all Binkov's videos so far and yet this is the first time I see such odd and inconsistent presentation of his. Maybe Binkov forgot that Malaysia was set to attack first? and another part is the Malaysian fighter jets are SU-30MKM. By review of expert, the jet is highly capable with high maneuverability but Binkov marked it as (Mediocre).
@@aidenschavell3218 ah yeah that too, I was kinda surprises as to how that plane is marked as is. But then again, the artillery alone will deal enough damage to the airfield that it could disable most if not all Singaporean planes within the beginning of the escalation
The simulation should be Malaysia trying to conquer Singapore, but not a single preemptive strike is made by Malaysia. Suddenly the "attacking" Malaysia forget about cutting supply lines through land & sea. They simply wait for Singapore to invade. Who is conquering who then?? And even marked SU-30MKM as mediocre by simply putting it as same as SU30 is just unacceptable when it is practically on par with SU35. Then treating a PT91 as the same spec as a T72 and placing it as mediocre.
Because in any sort of scenario where war was on the table, Singapore would strike first. SG watches Malaysia closely, and any movement of Msian assets to Johor are next to hide from SG intel, human and electronic. In our mutual history, SG always mobilized first and sent the terse messages. Malaysia will not mobilize first as SG will interpret that as a prelude to war, and strike first if the message to stop is unheeded
geez it's just a video guys. In reality anything could happen, Singapore might win, Malaysia might win, or it could be a stalemate and both countries enters into a peace agreement. No need to get hostile with each other over a war that will never happen. Malaysia and Singapore have great relations with each other and I don't see in any way, a war could break out between the two countries. So embarassed with triggered Malaysians and over-patriotic singaporeans in the comments smh.
Ummm, that’s basically suicide if it is open air and no cover. Singapore is so small a medium sized nuke can take out a quarter to half of the country, with fallouts, shockwaves, etc
A lot of you are probably watching this channel for the first time and talk about how implausible this scenario is, about how 'my country would totally level your country' and other varying levels of patriotic chest thumping. I can mostly agree with you, but the videos here always carry the implied disclaimer (though Binkov doesn't always make this explicit) that, unless explicitly stated: - Alliances of any kind are ignored - Troop morale is ignored - History, internal politics and overall geopolitics is also ignored These are all just purely speculational and do not in any way reflect the channel's views or politics.
The Ordinary Dude a.k.a BABiFun like I said, it's SPECULATION, ignoring politics and common sense, and focused STRICTLY on military, logistics, and geography.
The focal point of Malaysia's defence used to be up north near Thai border during the communist insurgency. There's more overlapping claim in eastern Sabah than anywhere in the Peninsular. Singapore isn't priority.
Also Malaysian army did not even position their troops and equipment despite being the attacker in this scenario which doesn't make sense even for Russian army unless the Malaysian leadership are too stupid to declare war without proper mobilization, and even waiting to be invaded by Singapore
I think both countries Malaysia and Singapore are good in some way. Not just equipment and economy. The people of Malaysia are friendly in my understanding.
I tasted nasi goreng when I go to Indonesia working together with their marine and costrad/kostrad (sorry for the costrad thing I forget how to pronounce that unit) and they said "nasi goreng are their national dishes same as nasi pidang"
Good Strategic Analysis & Studies, Good Work Mr. Binkov, you are a talented Military Strategy Analyst. If and only if a war starts between Malaysia and Singapore... most likely both will lose, and there is absolutely no reason why Malaysia & Singapore need to enter a war ^^ However, if it do happen, Both Sides will lose badly... Singapore & Malaysia Culture are so much knitted and integrated, it's so common to have Malaysians working in Singapore and vice versa, even have family and kids across the borders... so, it's kind of hard to have War... maybe some political squabbles, but it's really unlikely.
Every building in Singapore has bomb shelter. Every single man in SG is/was a soldier. Singapore is hard to infiltrate because of the density of tall buildings. Imagine snipers everywhere.
Just a reminder this is hypothetical, guys. It's stupid to suddenly declare war IRL, but it's more stupid to get angry over a hypothetical war. This should make us appreciate the peace we have here in Southeast Asia, we should be grateful that our leaders, no matter however bad they were, are not warmongers.

Malaysia and Singapore would help fight together but not against each other. We are family after all... When war comes, we support each other. All conflict are just verbal, it will be resolved.
*War is good for Muslim soldiers especially for Malaysia and Indonesia soldiers because this is a golden chance for Malaysia and Indonesia Muslim soldiers to die in battle (martyr). This is an easy way for them to enter heaven. Every Muslim wants this. According to Islam, all Muslim men must become soldiers if war breakout* .
Yeah in the event of a war neither side would really win. Singapore would most likely win in the short term with superior equipment and being able to mobilise most of its forces quickly (unless it was a preemptive strike by Malaysia taking Singapore by surprise) whereas Malaysia's forces are spread out. Singapore won't be able to actually hold and secure that much land taken from Malaysia and it would end in a stalemate with Singapore holding a buffer zone to protect the main city-state while Malaysia taking a major blow to its forces from the initial attack and unable to (immediately) push Singapore back. With the trade route cut off for being a war zone both Singapore and Malaysia would take a huge blow to their economies (Singapore even more so). Instead what would most likely happen is that both Singapore and Malaysia would become the playground for other major countries to step in and take advantage with the justification of their trade being affected (the Malacca Strait) and both Malaysia and Singapore would lose even more (for example China would likely seize the opportunity to intervene and then the US would also step in to counter China and so on.). So yeah, war between Malaysia and Singapore is highly unlikely and stupid and both sides would take every measure to prevent it from happening in the first place.
@Aiman Shaw yes, in long term war. We might be have no best in Tech military with cold war equipment but we have enough Manpower to fight back. Starting small war like Guerilla war here and there and the military flank em. Destory the water supplies line will cripple Singapore, and their citizen will start a riot here and there.
Kinda crazy to see such a small place like Singapore has such a strong military. I mean, the whole country is basically a city yet they have F-15s, tankers, AWACS, the works.
I did not see this coming. Anyways, there will be devestation on both sides as many singaporeans and malaysians have family on both sides, not to mention some coming from malaysia to go to school/work in singapore.

There's absolutely no reason for SG and MY to go to war, since we are virtually of the same racial stock and mix. SG and MY do not have some long historical enmity, and going to war is simply too far-fetched. And after WW2, most nations have learnt that it is far better to live in peace with each other.
As citizen of Malaysia I'm honored to part of Binkov's Thank You !! As for the possibility actual happen a War between us a BIG NO God Forbid Will Not !! Singapore and Malaysia will always quarrel and working together again over and over because we are bonded by History Culture and Blood. Both sides have families Mom's Dad's uncles nieces nephews cousins and friends for life even my self I'll fight for Singapore if China cross the line not just MY but our big brother Indonesia i guarantee will come for aid.

Meanwhile the real life Singaporean and Malaysian just want to lepak corner and eat satay together. Sip kopi. All friends and family. Crazy outsiders with crazy ideas.
Its all started when Malaysia as the biggest producer of Palm Oil running of land to be sacrificed. Then those big INVESTORS come. And the general said "welcome". Since then Indonesia became no.1 and Malaysia no.2. Still Singapore have some rich people with some sleep fund ready to be invested.
Malaysia will not attack Singapore because both are culturally, economically, socially integrated, alot of Malaysian works in Singapore and alot of Singaporean lives in Malaysia, both country depends on each other economically, Singapore need the resources from Malaysia and Malaysia needs intellectuals and investment from Singapore.
@@MrLEECHINSOON it was 1991 operation, both Malaysia and Indonesia already Suffer from Communists attack decades ago and since the Singapore government itself were Chinese and some of their politicians related to Communist party, that's why those groups were created
@@Syam_XI . Singapore Government is a multi racial Government, not Chinese Government. In 1991, there is no more communist threat to Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore.
@@MrLEECHINSOON they may be multi racial but don't forget that this is the past the year is 1991, years after communist war end in Malaysia and Indonesia so people are still afraid during that time since the communist attack took both by surprise that even the villagers had to learned to use rifle weapons and there is communist party in Malaysia. So by that mean after Singapore got independent, people here got worried by the winning party rule because they thought it would create another communist party (even though they're not) which is why the operation was created. after the diplomatic relations the operation was ceased
+ Singapore attacking Malaysia makes sense because they could really use some "buffer zone" and have their military somewhere else than being scattered in the capital.
singapore to malaysia and indonesia is like israel to palestine and egypt. small country made up of minorities surrounded by much bigger countries but backed up by the biggest countries in the world. Israel (EU and US) / Singapore (US, EU, India and China).
Both leaders are economy-driven. A war will badly affect the economy and the leaders themselves will be voted out in the coming elections. In my opinion, no war for at least 100 years. Any matter required to be resolved, both nations will resolve by diplomatic means or last resort bring it to international court for judgement. Additional information, 300k Malaysian working in Singapore and declare war is certainly suicidal for any leaders. Malaysian leaders killing their own people or Singaporean leaders deprive themselves skill labours. Don't see any win win situation in war for both parties. Peace man!
then indonesia would also join in the war to both : 1. Our nasi uduk is much better than your nasi lemak. 2. Malay claim batik, reog, and countless indonesian tradition and arts. 3. Indonesian felt singapore's chili crab is a downgraded copy of indonesia's kepiting saos padang. 4. more reason may arise on the run.
I know you never model third party intervention, but this war would close the Strait of Malacca, which would be such a blow to the world economy that some kind of foreign intervention would be all but inevitable IMO.
Hi Singaporean here, the fear of an invasion by Malaysia has always been in the armed forces's playbook. Their entire strategy of the SAF is formulated on a brief yet devastating first strike that renders the Malaysian armed forces ineffective or at least levels the playing field for the SAF and the MAF. The entire Singaporean strategy is to wait for international aid and pressure for Malaysia to recall its forces, a war of attrition would inevitably bankrupt Singapore. This is why the foreign policy of Singapore is to always remain neutral and never piss anyone off. In addition, an attack by Malaysia would very likely bring the US into the conflict as the US armed forces have aircraft carriers docked at Changi Naval Base, the Malaysians would be wise to avoid attacking said carriers. Manpower is the key to winning the war, Singapore is especially vulnerable as many of their reservists consist of individuals that are vital to the economy, their deaths would inevitably hit Singapore hard. For those unaware, when Singapore was first independent, we asked for international aid to help develop our military to combat the looming Malaysian threat and no one responded. The only ones who did were the Israelis, they agreed to quietly provide aid and train our military. That is why we have such close ties. Finally, the current likelihood of Malaysia invading Singapore as of 2020, is highly unlikely, beside the petty internal squabbles and the COVID-19 pandemic. The military is especially worst off and the technological edge is especially glaring in favor of Singapore. The SAF recently purchased a couple of F-35's to supplement their air force while Malaysia.... well... Malaysia has some aircraft but I doubt many combat aircraft would be available in the foreseeable future.
First of all, Malaysia is not interested to go war with Singapore when a significant portion of Singaporeans have family or blood-ties with Malaysians especially the Malays. Not to mention a slight introduction of lethal biological weapon such as viruses could wreck havoc in Singapore judging by how densely populated and tiny they are. No amount of money or artillery can save you from that. Meanwhile Malaysia on the other hand has vast untapped land allowing more room for survival.
@Gavin Lim thanks for that information i didn't know we asked India. That some new to me. My eldest brother also been called up to Thailand to stop the Vietnam coming in the place called Ayanraprathe in Thailand.
Except that Singapore's army is a deterrent force composed mainly of its reservist citizens. Singapore is so small they are not in it to fight or win wars. Their sole purpose is to tell you what you stand to lose if you ever invade them. Their citizens are basically given training to be ready to take arms and fight for their country if Malaysia ever invaded them, and they will go down dying along with millions of Malaysians. Win or lose, Singapore will not let its country be walked over. And that is the definition of a deterrence. If push comes to shove, why are you talking about citizens suffering?
@@cliftonaurelius3060 That if your country was invaded, are you going to say 'in war everyone is a loser.... the citizens will ultimately suffer the most', insinuating as if the citizens of the invaded country have a choice to avoid a war?

I like this kind of video from Binkov. However, his thought experiment (at least in this video) is only focused on three traditional domain (land, sea, air) and not include the other, equally important, two (space, cyber). Why he didn't include it, maybe he knows nothing about the opposing nations' capabilities of these other two domains. Maybe it would make the analysis more complex. Maybe he don't really know about these other domains and as such omitted it.
Despite its failure to take decisive actions, ASEAN as a regional organization has successfully kept South East Asian countries in peace for more than 50 years. Without ASEAN, we would already like middle eastern countries. Please celebrate our togetherness, and don't fighting each others.
The only war that can happen between them is an argument who’s nasi lemak and chicken rice is better

So if Singapore wants to start a war they have to do it quick and take over Malaysia, better let them to develop Malaysia and become a very strong country, let Sabah and Sarawak to be an Independent country, most of their development are getting drag by the Malaysian Central Government, because they can't use the religious manefesto to take control of the Sabah Sarawak majority.

我是中国人，既然你站在马来西亚国民的立场上，那我也站在prc公民的立场上。你说习可以通过这个方式来宣称南海，可是早在明清时期的地图上就已经被标注了，而且还设有统治机构。11段线也是民国标的，跟习没关系，直到台湾马英九政府时期，他们还在主张“中華民國南海11段綫”，中业岛就是他们丢给菲律宾的。很何况11段线后来还被中共政府送了两段给越南。先在西方媒体有太多的anti china propaganda. 所以你看到的很多渲染中国威胁论的报道实际上是言过其实。况且就算有南海争端暂且也不会到马来西亚头上，就像你说的现在的中国政府很聪明又很谨慎。
@Beng Liew Lim
另外你提到的国族问题，我是这样理解的，理论上拥有哪国国籍且出生或直系祖先出生在该国的即为该国人。在中国的大学中有许多少数民族学生，他们都认为自己是中国人。我所说的大马华人和东南亚华人可以从中华人民共和国的崛起中获利其实与你们的国籍和国家认同无关。就像中国现在有很多朝鲜族积极学习朝鲜语，而蒙古族学习蒙古语的积极性却不高一样。因为韩国现在经济发达，因此朝鲜语的需求大，市场大，就业有保障。他们也没有把中国的利益放在韩国的利益后面。而现在由于中国的发展给了许多海外华人天然的优势，过去中国穷的时候你想到这边来卖产品我们也没钱买，当时的中国又封闭又落后，现在则不同了。更重要的是，你们的生命财产安全可能会多一份保障。李克强已经放话警告印尼不要再出现1998年那样的恶性事件了。就像东乌克兰的俄罗斯人也有俄罗斯在支持一样。大国的侨民、移民、后裔总归还是比小国甚至像犹太人这种当时没有祖国的侨民、后裔要有底气和保障。在中国不少少民并没有什么民族意识，这是由于中共的政策是保护少数民族的。但是在印尼和马来西亚情况则不同，因此中国的崛起一定程度上也是给了不少东南亚华人一个选择的机会。就像我看到油管上有不少印尼华人移民台湾，或者去大陆读书的。

Singappre military are built to resemble Israel’s military in which they are excellent at early offensive attack and defending a small area. While Malaysian military are built to police the SEA waters. They are more of a pirate buster than a country conqueror. They both have very different doctrines and its very unlikely they would even want to fight each other

My daughter was stationed at mountain home air force base for a couple of years. Her expertise was in the computer world and in intelligence. She told me she became friends with Singaporean air force pilots who were training at Mountain Home for some pretty intensive training. She told me these pilots were damned good and Singapore spared no expense in getting them the best training. Though many counties in the U.S. are bigger than this city-state, Singapore is an extremely well equipped military force to reckon with. The air force has top notch fighters, transports, and multi role helicopters. My daughter says Singapore invests millions, if not billions for defense annually and a lot of that money goes for training. She said any country in the region declaring war on Singapore would be suicidal as Singapore is well equipped, armed with missiles, bombs and the best jets and fighters. Like the U.S., the pilots get a lot of flight time with training from USAF flight instructors. Singapore can take care of herself at times of conflict. Why would Malaysia want to go to war with a powerhouse like Singapore?

When the Japanese invaded Singapore, the locals expected the British to defend the island. Instead, the British just packed up and left. Singapore built its military with the mindset that there will be no one to rely on in case of an invasion, that's why they spend so much effort to build the biggest military force in the region. Their military training is professional and well equipped. They also take reservist training seriously. Also, Singapore hires Nepali Gurkha. With that mindset, the scenario of this video should be the other way around.

why the fuck are malaysians and Singaporeans arguing over a hypothetical situation, we should all be friend one lah
First day on the internet? 😂
From Singapore here. This analysis is pretty commendable although there are strategies on our side here which I am certain can’t be openly shared. Nevertheless, we don’t want a war. We love Malaysia. Ask any Singaporeans and we will tell you we love Malaysia. Malaysians share very similar cultures to Singapore and we Singaporeans enjoy taking the random holidays to tour Malaysia. Nobody here in their right sense would want to fight Malaysia. I know, your analysis was based on hypothesis, but why would any of our countries want to destroy the many decades of peace and prosperity? Both sides will suffer greatly if a war do break out. It is better to exercise patience and understanding than to ruin the many years of harmony and interdependency.
But if theoretically if there is a war Singapore would try to have johor without fighting honestly consideirng alot of Singaporeans stay there and Malaysians that work in Singapore stays there.
Sometime war is an avenue to distract the population. Look at China invasion of Vietnam or Japanese invasion of Korea during the 1600s . Didn't Singapore always become a Malaysian target board whenever they had domestic issue. Well someone did says war is just part of political tool .
Sakiru Eiji not sure about that man. Fight or not really depends on the government of both countries. So vote wisely for the right government and we will have peace. As what Mark Ong said below in another reply, MY ministers for the last few decades have always used Singapore as a target board whenever they have their own domestic issues. By doing that they diverted all the attention and hatred of the citizens of Malaysia towards Singapore instead of themselves. I just hope the government over there will stand up and do a good job for the people rather than divert blames to us. This have always been my sincere wishes.
Mark Ong Yes it’s true. But we just got to exercise patience, not because we are a small country, but because it doesn’t benefit both sides in the long run.
@@andyhooutdoors I beg to differ in your opinion of both sides losses in war . Aggressor sometimes does pay . However lesson learned in 6 day war is that Israel gain it's strategic gap in Sinai peninsula . There are some parts up north look always juicy for me. The terrain up north is no walk in the park with high hills , jungle and if we are lucky plantation . Urban dwellers like the conscripts corps of ours may be boggles down in operation due to topology and logistics. Esienhower qouted all plan are useless when war start but planning is essential. We could talk till the cow comes home but history may be playing out otherwise. Sun Tzu says know your enemy know yourself and you shall be victorious in hundred battle . Do we know ourselves or do we know our enemies ? There is an on going joke in Singapore saying no war need to be fought as we had been invaded by foreigners. If you wanna go India go Changi business park. If you wanna go Philippines go lucky plaza. This is also true in the army . When I was conscripted left and right are true blue local . Some may have slang , some are hokkien Peng . Ultimately you know you have a common goal to defend your land . Fast forward 10 years down the road, I head back for reservist I got a shock of my life . Almost half of NSF is non local . RP russian, driver PRC, store man Myanmar, clerk Viet . And the best of the best part medic Nigerian . I almost got a shock of my life . I look at my helmet to make sure it's not blue because I thought I had been sent on a UN mission . So the phycology of things are very much different as compared to 20 years ago. On top of that are you lead by lions or sheep ? 1990 when we celebrate our 25 years of independence old fox up north mobilize a large exercise near us . Our grunts all given 120 rounds , standby at border waiting for them . Today one unarmed maritime boat park in our sovereign , use loud header talk non stop to ask them leave . If it was old man time , it will be no nonsense. Old man would had ordered the boat be forcefully boarded tow back to port and start negotiation. They will never allow some MB to parades in our waters . Lesson learned in beginning of WW2 french has the best tank Char 1b outgunned anything German panzar could throw at it. However French lost its land because leadership is passive .
There was this interesting statement made by a reservist Sgt when I small talk with him in an MG nest . He says if the authority had given to him even with a pistol he will show aggressive stands and fire at the intruder. But every single time he needs to feedback and ask permission even with a bazooka he is powerless .
There you go I pretty sums up everything , not by gun nor power but by the will of the men .

Okay, I'm getting tired reading some of the comments here.
So, if you people had not realize it yet, this is a scenario, not an actual declaration of war. It's not as if Malaysia would actually declare war on Singapore, Binkov's just making assumptions - with a very specific types of rules - IF a hypothetical war does happen. Not the actual war itself, nor it's cause. And as for the "Call allies" argument some people may rant about in the comments, Binkov clearly mentioned in the start of the video that "No allies are involved" or something similar to that. Again, of does not necessarily imply that they - Singapore and Malaysia - would have no allies whatsoever. But this video is simply depicting a plausible scenario of “IF” these two Nations declare war, with no allies, who would've the bigger the possibility of achieving victory.
Please, know the difference. And lastly. This is a video, made by the same guy who made the video about Russia and China fighting the Us to kick them out of Japan. It's not entirely accurate when it comes to actual alliances and diplomacy. But I do have to give props to Binkov for doing a thorough research for each and everyone of his scenarios, as they are all well made, and somewhat believable.

Singapore will never go to war with its neighbours. The culture of both countries are so similar, with families, relatives and friends on both sides of the Johor Straits. Unless, there are no other solutions and Singapore is pushed to the walls. The US would be involved way ahead, whether diplomatically or militarily. On tactics, the beachhead in western Johor is insufficient to defend in depth. Pushing to Malacca might allow sufficient space for various divisions to manoeuvre.
Edwin Kwan it’s kind of just a hypothetical situation but yeah I completely agree
I am almost certain we would invade Malaysia the moment the water is cut back in the day we were reliant on them for it. But in 2020, I think true lah, won't invade even if they cut the water.

@DL2R you're in the wrong place if you're looking for a serious discussion about geopolitics.. even if we are talking on binkovs channel. Edutainment at best.
The human factor is difficult to estimate and depends on context. Is the country going to be invaded? Are our interests going to be affected? All the more reason to fight or else there'll be nothing left.
Training standards are deliberately set lower than other professional armies like the USA and UK as the SAF is a conscripted army. It is dependent on public support and each training death is one too many. During a period of tension perhaps the training tempo will be ramped up? Will the conscripts match up to the professionals of an opposing force? Who knows.

The presentation of this battle is amazing. Data for the Singaporean forces and probable actions by them do make sense. However, the start of this conflict seems off. As you mentioned that Malaysia would be offensive to take control Singapore, but the simulation shows that Malaysia was not even ready to begin with all their troops were not even positioned for offensive operation prior to the operation.
If Malaysia was planning to take Singapore, wouldn't the simulation should start with Malaysian troops and assets well positioned in offensive manner as necessary? Anyway, the video is great :)
After seeing the video, I can agree on what you said. The presentation shows as if Malaysia just out of the blue declared war on Singapore without any preparation whatsoever, it's like they mistakenly pressed a button that declared war
@@BABiFun Actually I was kinda surprised to see of how this hypothetical/simulation of war was presented. I've watched almost all Binkov's videos so far and yet this is the first time I see such odd and inconsistent presentation of his. Maybe Binkov forgot that Malaysia was set to attack first? and another part is the Malaysian fighter jets are SU-30MKM. By review of expert, the jet is highly capable with high maneuverability but Binkov marked it as (Mediocre).
@@aidenschavell3218 ah yeah that too, I was kinda surprises as to how that plane is marked as is.
But then again, the artillery alone will deal enough damage to the airfield that it could disable most if not all Singaporean planes within the beginning of the escalation
The simulation should be Malaysia trying to conquer Singapore, but not a single preemptive strike is made by Malaysia. Suddenly the "attacking" Malaysia forget about cutting supply lines through land & sea. They simply wait for Singapore to invade. Who is conquering who then?? And even marked SU-30MKM as mediocre by simply putting it as same as SU30 is just unacceptable when it is practically on par with SU35. Then treating a PT91 as the same spec as a T72 and placing it as mediocre.
Because in any sort of scenario where war was on the table, Singapore would strike first. SG watches Malaysia closely, and any movement of Msian assets to Johor are next to hide from SG intel, human and electronic.
In our mutual history, SG always mobilized first and sent the terse messages. Malaysia will not mobilize first as SG will interpret that as a prelude to war, and strike first if the message to stop is unheeded
geez it's just a video guys. In reality anything could happen, Singapore might win, Malaysia might win, or it could be a stalemate and both countries enters into a peace agreement. No need to get hostile with each other over a war that will never happen. Malaysia and Singapore have great relations with each other and I don't see in any way, a war could break out between the two countries.

A lot of you are probably watching this channel for the first time and talk about how implausible this scenario is, about how 'my country would totally level your country' and other varying levels of patriotic chest thumping. I can mostly agree with you, but the videos here always carry the implied disclaimer (though Binkov doesn't always make this explicit) that, unless explicitly stated:
- Alliances of any kind are ignored
- Troop morale is ignored
- History, internal politics and overall geopolitics is also ignored
These are all just purely speculational and do not in any way reflect the channel's views or politics.
We know nothing about who Colonel Binkov really is.
The Ordinary Dude a.k.a BABiFun like I said, it's SPECULATION, ignoring politics and common sense, and focused STRICTLY on military, logistics, and geography.
Victor Gee that’s the way it is done.
The focal point of Malaysia's defence used to be up north near Thai border during the communist insurgency. There's more overlapping claim in eastern Sabah than anywhere in the Peninsular. Singapore isn't priority.
Also Malaysian army did not even position their troops and equipment despite being the attacker in this scenario which doesn't make sense even for Russian army unless the Malaysian leadership are too stupid to declare war without proper mobilization, and even waiting to be invaded by Singapore
As a Malaysian, I still think Singapore is more advance than Malaysia😂
It is actually the only developed country in ASEAN
No war we are neighbor
I think both countries Malaysia and Singapore are good in some way. Not just equipment and economy. The people of Malaysia are friendly in my understanding.
@Stain yeah it is something like the SG is economically advance than MY but majority of the citizens live in HDB flats. In MY you have more choices

Good Strategic Analysis & Studies, Good Work Mr. Binkov, you are a talented Military Strategy Analyst. If and only if a war starts between Malaysia and Singapore... most likely both will lose, and there is absolutely no reason why Malaysia & Singapore need to enter a war ^^ However, if it do happen, Both Sides will lose badly... Singapore & Malaysia Culture are so much knitted and integrated, it's so common to have Malaysians working in Singapore and vice versa, even have family and kids across the borders... so, it's kind of hard to have War... maybe some political squabbles, but it's really unlikely.
Every building in Singapore has bomb shelter. Every single man in SG is/was a soldier. Singapore is hard to infiltrate because of the density of tall buildings. Imagine snipers everywhere.

@@kenhew4641it would be stupid since they were expelled due to malaysia wanting a continued dominance of the malay race
Yeah in the event of a war neither side would really win. Singapore would most likely win in the short term with superior equipment and being able to mobilise most of its forces quickly (unless it was a preemptive strike by Malaysia taking Singapore by surprise) whereas Malaysia's forces are spread out. Singapore won't be able to actually hold and secure that much land taken from Malaysia and it would end in a stalemate with Singapore holding a buffer zone to protect the main city-state while Malaysia taking a major blow to its forces from the initial attack and unable to (immediately) push Singapore back. With the trade route cut off for being a war zone both Singapore and Malaysia would take a huge blow to their economies (Singapore even more so).
Instead what would most likely happen is that both Singapore and Malaysia would become the playground for other major countries to step in and take advantage with the justification of their trade being affected (the Malacca Strait) and both Malaysia and Singapore would lose even more (for example China would likely seize the opportunity to intervene and then the US would also step in to counter China and so on.). So yeah, war between Malaysia and Singapore is highly unlikely and stupid and both sides would take every measure to prevent it from happening in the first place.
After all. We're brothers and look out for each other.
Better if ASEAN vs China. This what I wanna see.
@Aiman Shaw yes, in long term war. We might be have no best in Tech military with cold war equipment but we have enough Manpower to fight back.

Israel (EU and US) / Singapore (US, EU, India and China).
Both leaders are economy-driven. A war will badly affect the economy and the leaders themselves will be voted out in the coming elections. In my opinion, no war for at least 100 years.
Any matter required to be resolved, both nations will resolve by diplomatic means or last resort bring it to international court for judgement.
Additional information, 300k Malaysian working in Singapore and declare war is certainly suicidal for any leaders. Malaysian leaders killing their own people or Singaporean leaders deprive themselves skill labours. Don't see any win win situation in war for both parties.

Hi Singaporean here, the fear of an invasion by Malaysia has always been in the armed forces's playbook. Their entire strategy of the SAF is formulated on a brief yet devastating first strike that renders the Malaysian armed forces ineffective or at least levels the playing field for the SAF and the MAF. The entire Singaporean strategy is to wait for international aid and pressure for Malaysia to recall its forces, a war of attrition would inevitably bankrupt Singapore. This is why the foreign policy of Singapore is to always remain neutral and never piss anyone off.
In addition, an attack by Malaysia would very likely bring the US into the conflict as the US armed forces have aircraft carriers docked at Changi Naval Base, the Malaysians would be wise to avoid attacking said carriers. Manpower is the key to winning the war, Singapore is especially vulnerable as many of their reservists consist of individuals that are vital to the economy, their deaths would inevitably hit Singapore hard.
For those unaware, when Singapore was first independent, we asked for international aid to help develop our military to combat the looming Malaysian threat and no one responded. The only ones who did were the Israelis, they agreed to quietly provide aid and train our military. That is why we have such close ties.
Finally, the current likelihood of Malaysia invading Singapore as of 2020, is highly unlikely, beside the petty internal squabbles and the COVID-19 pandemic. The military is especially worst off and the technological edge is especially glaring in favor of Singapore. The SAF recently purchased a couple of F-35's to supplement their air force while Malaysia.... well... Malaysia has some aircraft but I doubt many combat aircraft would be available in the foreseeable future.
Singaporean too,I did not know that.

In war, everyone is a loser. The citizens will ultimately suffer the most.
Except that Singapore's army is a deterrent force composed mainly of its reservist citizens. Singapore is so small they are not in it to fight or win wars. Their sole purpose is to tell you what you stand to lose if you ever invade them. Their citizens are basically given training to be ready to take arms and fight for their country if Malaysia ever invaded them, and they will go down dying along with millions of Malaysians. Win or lose, Singapore will not let its country be walked over. And that is the definition of a deterrence. If push comes to shove, why are you talking about citizens suffering?
