Interesting debate but anyone has any real combat experience like in a real/actual battle or war ?
By intervening, we are inviting retaliation and if it happens-who will be paying the price?
hahahahaha, highly regarded by who? Its like saying the SAF is highly regarded too. Self promotion and masturbation does not result in a highly regarded fighting force.
1 sri lankan veteran of that campaign is equivalent to 69 so called saf elite soldiers playing masak masak at marsiling.

the moment lowly non-elite pinoy soldiers enter a baptism of firefight, they are already head and shoulders above sinkie soldiers. nothing can be compared to fresh virgin soldiers getting thrown into combat. if they survive a battle they are already combat veterans of elite status compared to extra virgin saf boys. used to think sri lankan soldiers were small, weak, badly equipped and poorly commanded when kena hantam by ltte insurgents, but after their long methodical painstaking campaign to corner and destroy the last remnants of tamil tigers, my hats off to them. 1 sri lankan veteran of that campaign is equivalent to 69 so called saf elite soldiers playing masak masak at marsiling.

If pinoy using the browning 50cal MG variant M113, that only 11ton, compare to the v150 which is 10ton so no reason the bridges cannot handle the weight. All these A vehicles shd be use as firebase while straight legs send in to clear out isis strongpoints.
The common sight appearing in tv/movies of infantry advancing behind armour vehicles under enemy fire is not applicable in jungle terrain. Most common tactic shd be use scouts to seek out isis strong points, set up firebase 1-2klicks high ground for direct 50cal or mortar fire and send in infantry to clear. There no easy way out.
We were inviting attacks long ago. Where in Asia can you find so many Jews and Americans on one small dot hosted by the balls carrying govt. Zikapore is target rich environment for ISIS.Interesting debate but anyone has any real combat experience like in a real/actual battle or war ?

U are quoting empty weight. Fully loaded M113 with full complement, ammo, fuel, etc is over 13 tons, significantly higher then a fully loaded V150.
our elites soldiers have to wear contact lens before going outfield. Sadly, no more hokkiens pengs around to chiong the enemy,
69% are speckies. and glasses are not even ruggedized and secured to their faces. saf should pay for standard ruggedized combat-ready prescription glasses. right now ns men wear their own. some very flimsy. one mortar attack and 69 men in 1 infantry company will drop and lose their glasses.

The SAF can offer the PAF the use of the urban warfare training facilities. But the training will only be as good as the instructors conducting it. Not sure the PAF will conduct the training themselves, probably not since their record is not good on that aspect of warfare. Being trained by the SAF would be even worse. They need to invite some experienced military advisors, and I think this is where the US will come in.
When I was in the SAF, I bought my own ear plugs. The ones issued at that time was shit useless. Mine were imported from the US. A friend of mine living in the US at that time, went to gun store and bought them for me, then shipped them out to zikapore. Its 10 times better then the ones the SAF issues. Its sinful that NSmen have to spend money to buy their own gear, especially on the allowance they are paid.
prescription glasses that are ruggedized and combat-ready should be standard issue in the saf. but no, all we see are specky guniangs like bookworm students donning camouflaged uniforms.

LOL guniangs...i might have to change this thread title to
Mati SAF.....Start pray pray
that's what they figured out on the ground. fully loaded m113s cannot cross bridge meant for trucks. so they lan lan remain at checkpoints to do roadblock duties.
all those spongy earplugs that are given away free at gun ranges are made in china. very effective and better than the plastic earplugs saf provides. i have a bunch in my kitchen drawer.
