Carry missiles and run around.

SADA, Singapore Air Defence Artillery.

Anti Aircraft Guns, Rapier, I-Hawk, RBS and Radar.... in another word, shoot aircraft.

Enjoy your tour of duty there, i did.

worst place in the air force because ADA use to be under Artillery when they were using the 20mm guns mounted on an armoured veh. In the late 70s/early 80s they cross over to the Air Force when they started using anti aircarft missiles. The Air force never really accepted ADA personnals ( they still think of ADA as land force/army guys ) and the fact that ADA units are runned and trained very much like the army adds to the belives.

Hope this helps

Agreed with this, except for the blue uniform everything is the same as being in the army ;p

SADA takes charge of anti-air defenses and think abt it. When one's in the Air Force, ppl would usually conjure up images of Top Gun and garang fighters doing dogfights and BVR Kills with AMRAAM and Sidewinders.

The last thing anyone would think of are ppl in the Air Force that are trained to take down the very thing that the Air Force symbolises - Planes. :bsmilie:

AFS is the training ground/school, still go outfield. Anyway, training in SAF/RSAF has toned down so much, not siong anymore.
