Finally, Singapore purchase new Main Battle Tank : Leopard 2A4

[King Tiger]

This is good news.

Actually a very long time ago, Sing already....(secret)

Yes, they have already plan long ago.

(Hearsay only)
Quite unlike another country where corruption was so rampant that they bought a (joke)main armour vehicle body; then bought (joke) turret from another manufacturer that was so heavy and did not fit that the turret could not turn. :bsmilie:

Hee hee, this is not hearsay only, true one.

Add an Daikin inverter aircon.

SAF tankeee would be very happy.

Daikin not Singapore brand, not Singapore Style so cannot :nono: :bsmilie:

:think: Refurbished Leopard 2 A4s...wonder what that means... an upgrade to the L55 or uparmour to A6 standards? Either way, thats very good news for armour:thumbsup:

I think the same old Singapore technique, buy something two versions ago, then add all kinds of super duper secret enhancement until they have to give it a new version code. probably the most solid Leopards around under the guise of a "older version".

all the comms equipment will be Creative Soundworks brand. ;p

 

[theRBK]

"current ones" you mean Tempest? I think the Leopard I is already one or two generation after the Centurions.

Leopard 1 is a mucher lighter tank than the earlier Centurion or its contemporary the Chieftian...

looking at naming conventions past, it would prob be called the 2A4S

The A6 comes with air con :bsmilie:

 

[afbug]

no la. Comms will be Singtel brand.

 

[hwchoy]

no la. Comms will be Singtel brand.

you mean the BSO job will be outsourced? then Starhub and Singtel bid for it ah? :bsmilie:

 

[hwchoy]

Pardon my poor knowledge. :embrass:

This would be very surprising. :sweat:

I knew I'm not that confused. Its in wikipedia, 79 Leopard 1 AS1 with 105mm rifled gun to be replaced by 59 M1. The first one arrived in Sep 2006.

With the tankies ordering Canadian pizza and mac delivery whislt in Area D, the 2 gb limit is surely going burst. :bsmilie:

Ok, u guys quit it.

I am not allowed to say it, but those tanks are actually just training tools and toys. The real deals are actually bipedal mechas. Currently the largest one that we have is approximately 100m tall, armed with 50mm gattling cannon and a specially made 200mm main gun. Reactive armour on all sides and custom made shells for the 200mm gun from depleted uranium cores.

One of the tests actually included the complete destruction of a AMX tank with just a step and survivng the explosion. But due to motor adjustment problems, the mecha has got a little stability problem to-date since the fragments from the metal shreds of the tank would damage the stepping foot. DSTA engineers are currently working hard to increase the armour rating on the foot.

Subsequent versions shld come with a MRLS pack on the shoulder and missile jamming sensor arrays.

if you are not allowed to say it, then why say?
if this is classified information and you are spilling it all over the internet, isn't it a serious offence?

wah zhng-ed siah....haaa

 

[Wowee]

Likely a joke... :bsmilie:

How can any of our bridges support that amount of weight?

Singapore would definitely agree to build new causeway if we are really going to for such big armour monsters... :bsmilie:
