Does Singapore have F22 ?

look at the rate that we reclaim land, our waterways surrounding our territorry is shrinking. likewise airspace is also becoming limited. the better the aircraft is good to flex muscle to our neighbors. but when the time really comes to use them, i wonder how many times our jets overshot their targets.

maybe the idea is to kill the enemy by laughter... let them die laughing.

The so-called US law banning export of technologically sensitive weaponry has a special loophole. They'll sell anything to UK including nukes, and vice versa. From the 60s to 80s, US and UK forces used the same F4 Phantom (the premier warplane of that era), Sea Harrier (the pioneer STOL/VTOL warplane of that era), Poseidon (nuke) and Trident (nuke). These are the only two countries that trade nukes legally and open declared. Speaks volumes about that fabled special relationship.

However, UK isn't interested in F22 Raptor as its BAe is involved in Panavia and Eurofighter projects since joining EC/EU. That's why now UK has Tornadoes and Typhoons instead of F15/16/22s. All other countries can apply to by a modified export-eligible version, called F35 Lightning II. Japan wants the F22, not the F35. Negotiations are still underway for a less modified version that's more F22 than F35. Singapore settled for F15SG, which I think is good enough for the task and circumstance. Unlike Japan, Singapore's not preparing to fight Russia, is it?

Singapore fighter take off already overshoot to neighbouring air space.
Whatever fighter also just for show and just want to put up a brave front only.
F-15 Strike Eagle is good enough. Why waste money on weapons only for show case.

The F-15 is already a waste of money. The one benefit of the F-22 is that when it violates Malaysian airspace deliberately or accidentally, it will not be detected by malaysian radar.

Sorry but I still don't understand just who we are supposed to be fighting with this arsenal.

China is too far away. Malaysia/Indonesia got too close links.

Dr Mad Hatter is right what is the use of owning superior fighter aircrafts if those missle launch codes are controlled by the USA? It becomes a target practice for the intruding aircrafts...our pilots are sitting ducks waiting to be blown off the skies if this is true.
