If they want an aircraft carrier it might be better to have all F-35B or F-35C variants, the A is the regular variant designed for normal runways, the B is the STOVL version that can operate on short aircraft carriers, while the C variant is the full catapult-capable version that works on fullsize aircraft carriers.
Singapore has ordered heliopter carriers. Actually, it'd be cheaper to just put Apache or Cobra helicopters on them. F-35s can just fly from home bases to support a beach landing, which should be near, as we can't take the risk of transporting troops for faraway landings.
Now I realized that nowadays people in the world look CHINA as the new Villain of Asia and of the world... Any Chinese here??? Please I need your reactions?
First, why do people in other parts of the world care whether China is the villain of Asia? Unless, of course, they are troublemakers, the US pire and its vassals. Second, you are dead wrong, anyway. You'd better not speak for the world because you know only US empire propaganda.
The thing special about these truly stealthy multirole F-35s is that not only are they hard to detect, but they also work in a network. You only need few of these to take down a country's defense systems.
Exactly. It's called network centric warfare. The F-35 has advanced datalink and other advanced sensors. It can share those information to other units (air, sea, land forces). For example, an F-35 locks on an aircraft, but if it's out of weapon, it can share that data and target lock to a Navy vessel; said vessel can fire a SAM to hit the aircraft.
Interesting that Singapore wanted the STOVL version of the F-35 in the first place. What's the reasoning behind that? I can understand the UK, Italy, and Japan wanting the Bs for their navies, but what about Singapore? Just so they can operate in austere areas? If that's the case, how do they expect to keep up the logistics chain for that? The B model is already more mechanically complex than the standard F-35A-that means it's going to need more maintenance and more parts.
Singapore has been in works with the US on a Joint Multi-Mission Ship which may have capabilities of being an aircraft carrier for STOVL aircraft. ST engineering has also been showing multiple concepts of an aircraft carrier variant their Endurance - Class Landing Platform Dock at the Singapore Airshow. I won't be surprised if MINDEF announces that Singapore will be building an aircraft carrier within the next decade.
Most of the F35s are parked at the bottom of the ocean and so no issue there. You must appease your master regardless. Moreover, there is a looming threat from China, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Myanmar, Philippines, Laos and Cambodia. Not to mention from the white tribes of Australia and New Zealand. They are all eyeing a piece of the Singapore real estate, the most sought after.
2 Dec 2023 , The cost for S.Korea F35 repair estimated at 140 billion won ($108 million), eclipsing the cost of procuring a new aircraft and requiring a restoration period of four years. F-35 hit an eagle, 300 parts damaged, incl. the fuselage and engine.
What reserves? The reserves are not even being touched because Singapore runs a budget surplus. The defence budget is 3% of GDP. A very modest amount for a small country with no strategic depth in a vital location. If you were Singaporean you would be subject to national service and be supportive of buying the best possible equipment that keeps you alive in war.

@LonganLee F-35 or no F-35, the government is not dipping into the reserves. Your rant actually has nothing to do with the F-35. Didn't hear you rant when we bought F-5, F-16 and F-15. My generation deserves to have security too, I don't see the problem with RSAF keeping up with the times. The government runs a budget surplus. Do you even know what that means? To make it simple for you: if the government is collecting more money than it spends then it is called a surplus and the reserves are growing, not shrinking. Here you are asking if we are actually in a recession or not, asking if I audited the reserves or not. And you choose a CNA report on the F-35 to make these stupid rants.
I propose funding these spendings with GST and COE . Hope COE rise beyond 150k to say $300k. For gst, we can enjoy the rebates and vouchers if given every year for the next few years of gst hikes.

Arm twisted by the Americans to fork out USD 660 million for the planes alone, which could have been better spent on Singaporeans who are struggling with the increasing cost of living. Was told it costs USD42,000 per flight hour to fly them.
Totally agree. What a waste on taxpayers money. Everything is getting more expensive with more taxes. COE revenue alone can reach half a billion dollars monthly!
The Chinese are reported to have developed a radar that could detect stealth fighters, such as the F-35. Whether true or not, countries will eventually have such a radar, and it won't be far off. When that hapoens, the hundreds of billions for the F-35 will be wasted. Not only is the F-35 super expensive, it is, yes, very expensive to fly and maintain. The helmet for the pilot is stuffed with so many instruments, it is heavy. So, F-35 pilots (at least in the US) must be of a certain heavy weight so that when they eject in an emergency they have lower risk of whiplash from the heavy helmet. I think the F-35 is overhyped and not worth the super high price tag and maintenance costs.
Generational supremacy assured for 3 decades. The Israelis debated about more F-15s or F-35s. They went for F-35s. They know it works and has potent capabilities beyond the F-15’s. We’re not dumb so we took into consideration another top-tier air force’s evaluation and decided accordingly.
From a country that has come up with POFMA which has been criticised as having a chilling effect on free speech, and a country that has been ranked among the lowest in the world for press freedoms, this statement is completely unconvincing.

@deschan2246 It is Singapore's money to waste and not your pathetic ringgit. A Second Class Malaysian like you should learn to bow to your First class Bumiputra citizens.
First ..we like to ask who are the enemies of Singapore....long ago Singapore feared Malaysia and Indonesia..but now these 2 countries need Singapore more . If more links are tied to US ..then Singapore will have to comply with the terms of US more ...maybe not be that prudent. Maybe more naval boats are more practical to deal with sea pirates. Time to have a new term who does not lean to Western powers that readily . Singapore has to be on the side of history ...and hopefully Lawrence Wong will come out better...do not have a defence minister who could embarrass a big power for nothing .. There are no enemies for Singapore only ..pirates and terrorists to deal with when the policies are not correct
The efficacy of stealth of F-35 fighter jets was clearly on display last year after an F-35B pilot ejected from the plane in North Carolina and the Marine Corps had to turn to the public for help tracking down the missing plane.
Varient A carries more fuel and a little more weapon, as said in the video, to have greater endurance and firepower, and also includes a internal gun, which the b have to carry a pod, and compliments the B variants which are more for a short takeoff and landing for in which when runways are not suitable for a normal jet to takeoff
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) consisting of 38 member countries has an average GST standard rate of 19.2%. SG at 9% is relatively low.
F35 so expensive and a tiny red dot purchased 12 plus another 8 of these advanced fighter jets Why not buy 1500 big advanced drones to protect Singapore airspace?
There is still a need for manned fighters. SG only bought 20 F-35 precisely because they are buying unmanned aircraft in future. Read the Mindef statement carefully.
Coming from Minister Chan, it does sound a little bit like “ownself defending ownself” much in the same way as the PAP having been described as “ownself check ownself”.

Why would Malaysia need 5th gen though. We don't even have enough manpower to launch an offensive operation on a huge scale. Some updated 4.5th gen MCA is enough, with probably more AA defense. Stealth aircraft are too costly, even big countries like the US use F15 most of times.
Uh what,you know both us Malaysia and Indonesia military are still junk vehicle unlike Singapore had high advantage of new technology because of monthly military spending
Well there are many issues with the operational capability of this aircraft. Hope the authorities can make sure the problems are solved before we accept those aircraft! Even the USAF refused to accept the new aircraft unless the upgrade are completed.

Wow F35As jets 60% faster than the speed of sound wow! K Go Go Go Singapore k!
👍👍
Waste money !!!!!
@deschan2246 It is Singapore's money to waste and not your pathetic ringgit. A Second Class Malaysian like you should learn to bow to your First class Bumiputra citizens.
First ..we like to ask who are the enemies of Singapore....long ago Singapore feared Malaysia and Indonesia..but now these 2 countries need Singapore more .
If more links are tied to US ..then Singapore will have to comply with the terms of US more ...maybe not be that prudent.
Maybe more naval boats are more practical to deal with sea pirates.
Time to have a new term who does not lean to Western powers that readily .
Singapore has to be on the side of history ...and hopefully Lawrence Wong will come out better...do not have a defence minister who could embarrass a big power for nothing ..
There are no enemies for Singapore only ..pirates and terrorists to deal with when the policies are not correct
At least its legit real planes and not an empty shells on the news. lol
F-35 must complement with F-15SG as former got limited payload.
The efficacy of stealth of F-35 fighter jets was clearly on display last year after an F-35B pilot ejected from the plane in North Carolina and the Marine Corps had to turn to the public for help tracking down the missing plane.
what are you saying? US have sh1tty radar?
@@Wvk5zc It's just Chinese trash talk, don't mind it
@@Wvk5zc he said that it's very stealthy
@@Wvk5zcthe stealth tech is so good they needed help finding the plane
Dont need these
Waste tax payers money
Already got good fighter jets in stock
😂😂😂 one helmet can buy one condominium 😂😂😂
How Singapore defence force is far advances compared to Malaysia.
bcoz...I think you got the answer to it...many possible answers.....!
Mainly are for deterrence purposes. If Sg got ill luck, Malaysia South will be equally worse off, and Riao islands too.
Ah China..... the joy and pride of the military industrial complex.....
“Senator, I’m a singaporean”
Why buy A? A and B what the difference? A more powerful?
Varient A carries more fuel and a little more weapon, as said in the video, to have greater endurance and firepower, and also includes a internal gun, which the b have to carry a pod, and compliments the B variants which are more for a short takeoff and landing for in which when runways are not suitable for a normal jet to takeoff
@@Relativity_Space-SFS then should get more
@@tanhy1522 need balance between both
@@Relativity_Space-SFS yes agree
But f15s seem to serve its purpose better at the moment. You can see that Israel wants more F15s and not f35s.
Lokking forward to 12% and then 15% GST.
The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) consisting of 38 member countries has an average GST standard rate of 19.2%. SG at 9% is relatively low.
wow.. they really scared of their neighbours
F35 so expensive and a tiny red dot purchased 12 plus another 8 of these advanced fighter jets
Why not buy 1500 big advanced drones to protect Singapore airspace?
There is still a need for manned fighters. SG only bought 20 F-35 precisely because they are buying unmanned aircraft in future. Read the Mindef statement carefully.
Coming from Minister Chan, it does sound a little bit like “ownself defending ownself” much in the same way as the PAP having been described as “ownself check ownself”.
Reported me proves I’m right about you and I hope u live through long enough to see what kind of looser you are ! If you are that scum bag chee behind this account , you will never be allow in the parliament and despite I never vote for PAP .
Nice one 👍 👍👍
Horrible news reporting, what is travel bonga and cheese edition? omg
No doubt for Taylor Swift to travel from Changi AIrport to Changi Village
I wonder why country like Singapore need a stealth fighter for? Is there any enemy in mind?
today you must have a military equipment must be latest or the best arsenal for defence ...you may never know who or when the enemy attack...
LOL !!! AHAHAAHAH !! @@ YES , STUPID CHINA.. ??@@
@@runningseagull5413 Yeah, but to maintain a stealth is more expensive than to maintain an already operational fighter that have score 400 to 0 loss ratio? So why stealth?
China threat.
@@kumunoynimanoy5400 yeah, I don't think its China.
Apparently, this is protection money handed over by Singapore to the American father
Are you a new citizen or a senior citizen?
Oka
Singapore only has 283.5 k2 of land are they directly warning Xi Jinping's aggression in the South China Sea?
Aircraft Carrier when????😂
This makes as much sense as having an oncologist decide how many fighter jets we need for the country's defense.
I hope Singaporeans here will not reveal too much info regarding Sg military. Do not be eager to show off your knowledge by commenting on it. There are so many spies here waiting for you to reveal with their well-thought questions.
Most things we gonna say here are widely available for anyone to search up on the internet lmao
@@Relativity_Space-SFS Let them search. At the end, whether they want to believe in what they have read is up to them. We don't need to serve it to them.
Congratulations SG...on the acquisition of your new fighter jets
Why congratulate? It's like congratulating someone for buying a Porche. Both cost lots of money. Whether you are for or against Singapore buying the F-35, there's nothing to congratulate, just as there's no reason to congratulate someone for buying a Porche.
singapore can become buyer only , and can't be a maker fighter , so there are no worries in America selling the F35 to Singapore
Why should Singapore buy this type of fighter, it seems not very important for a small country, while the distance of the aircraft reaches 2,200 km.
deterrence not to mess with us. Also the country with the stronger military power has more negotiation power. Do u not think about these before commenting. i swear some of you dont know why the USA and china is the most feared countries in the world.
There goes the tax payers money
ULTRA KIASU PILOT
VTO PAP ! Wasting Taxpayers Money !
Who has to pay for this and the CO2?
Malaysia will buy 8 S-400 air defense systems. These planes will be Sembawng, I suppose. Their coordinates will be keyed into a few DF-17 and DF-22.
S-400 are getting destroyed by HIMARS in Ukraine.
S400 is useless against F35 if the plane is 50+ km away.
@@Randomguy-wy4xi Which propaganda orgsanization do you work for? The CIA? Don't parade your ignorance.
S-400 cannot even detect SU-24 at 250km away.
@@kurousagi8155 Do you know how far 250km is, genius? That is WAY beyond the horizon. Do you know how radar works?
How long is it's lifespan
It is quite long as long as it does not fly over the sea as it has a submarine fetish always wanting to be a flying submarine. There are already several acting as submarines.
2 weeks
@@hangtuah888 An odd thing to say considering Malaysia only has a handful of obsolete fighter aircraft and the navy is still waiting for its ships stuck in the shipyard while China intrudes on your territory- which is probably what someone like you wants.
@@j2h226 China is non expansionist unlike the DIsunited States causing grief and death whenever they engage with anyone. Just have to witness the mayhem, death and destruction in both Ukraine and Gaza. So no fear there unless you lack sovereignty like Singapore, and wants to be a lapdog.
@@j2h226 As well, most of the Singapore Armed Forces personnel are what I called pondans, good for show only. When the first angry shot is fired, they probably will run home to mama. Recalled years ago a group of the Singapore soldiers were beaten up by a group of drunken aboriginals in Cairns, where the so-called play soldiers were training. It made my days laughing about it. You should stop touting about building a rugged society. Maybe change the motto to an effeminate society.
Not just purchase the F35As and F35Bs to boost the coffers of US papa, but soon to deploy some of them at Guam. 🤡
By then Indonesia and Malaysia will have 5th generation fighters of their own
Why would Malaysia need 5th gen though. We don't even have enough manpower to launch an offensive operation on a huge scale. Some updated 4.5th gen MCA is enough, with probably more AA defense. Stealth aircraft are too costly, even big countries like the US use F15 most of times.
Uh what,you know both us Malaysia and Indonesia military are still junk vehicle unlike Singapore had high advantage of new technology because of monthly military spending
Well there are many issues with the operational capability of this aircraft. Hope the authorities can make sure the problems are solved before we accept those aircraft! Even the USAF refused to accept the new aircraft unless the upgrade are completed.
So this is scaring the neighbouring countries using russia and chinese technology
Why don't they diversify their assets and buy some China's warplanes to compare? Always stay neutral
Perusahaan milik orang Singapura ada banyak di Indonesia🤔
Apa Singapura akan melawan Malaysia🤔🤔
The neighbouring countries must be pissing in their pants 😂😂
Where countries u mean.i know u mean ny country malaysia.if u want to know who will be pisses in their pants let try touch my country malaysia.dont just talk do it.
