ST Engineering wins contract to supply next generation infantry fighting vehicles to Singapore

[Papsmearer]

ST Engineering has won a contract from the Ministry of Defence to produce a fleet of next generation infantry fighting vehicles.

The contract value was not disclosed.

As of last September, the company's order book was already around $32.6 billion.

The IFVs are to be delivered from 2028 onwards, and will be based on ST Engineering’s Terrex s5, the latest addition to the family of 8x8 armoured fighting platforms.

“Mindef’s selection of the Terrex s5 as its next generation IFV reaffirms our ability in designing and building advanced armoured mobility platforms," says Lim Kok Ann, president of ST Engineering's Land Systems business.

"With our multi-domain expertise and engineering depth, we are confident that the new IFV will deliver outstanding mobility, advanced smart technologies and unmatched adaptability to support Singapore’s future fighting force,” he adds.

“As we continue to innovate and address the evolving needs of the modern armed forces, the Terrex s5 will strengthen our portfolio of integrated defence offerings for nations seeking proven and robust solutions to expand their national defence capabilities,” says Lim.

Would the SAF have awarded this contract to any other organisation except ST Engineering?

What a fucking waste of money on dumb retards. Train the maids please.

LOL, ST Engineering is kaki lang of the PAP regime. The contract was already 'won' before any 'bids' were made.

This is the kind of country we live in.

In order to get the morale of the troops up, air-con tanks are a must. Soldiers cannot fight a war if they are suffocating inside their armoured vehicles.

Israel has metal roof-mounted armour to defend against drone-dropped explosives, which was adapted from the Ukraine war.

I thought that our govt is "whiter than white".

Invest in USA US$1B better, peace keeping troops. Likely just need to spend money since already got budget approved.

this vehicle is the biggest piece of crap in the battlefield. I have seen it at the last Singapore Aerospace show. I was shocked at how big and how tall it was. There is no way to conceal this and even a bad shot with an RPG can kill it. The modular armour protection they use, MEXAS, is suspect in my opinion.

It doesn't matter. All that is required is that they look good during NDP, army open house, in army recruitment ads and defence-related publications.

Ultimately, that is the aim, that and to make money for ST and make Temasek look good.
