Their due diligence for making defence purchases is on how much goes into their pockets.

That's right and the G550 first roll-out was in 2003. It is considered one of the best executive-class aircraft today.

I answered before you posted.

The A4s we bought were in service in early 1950's. They hardly flew and were mothballed in the Arizona desert. Their structures were almost new and therefore it was a good buy. The Malaysians bought some but we were first and we took the best. Those that Malaysia bought were hardly flown and...

It is still not fully operational and by 2012 perhaps a few will be delivered. We had our first G550 in 2008. How long will it take if we were to order the E-2D as the US will take first priority in deliveries?

I think we have to trust our military to do due diligence. I am not against spending our money wisely and in this case I think it was a good decision.

144 squadron with 7 F5S used as trainer/interceptor. On their last leg I think. The rest either donated or sold.

Somethings like speed, comfort, range, fuel economy and noise are the major considerations. Those who never set in a turboprop aircraft may not know how bloody noisy, slow and uncomfortable it is.

We did not do much to their structure, only at certain locations when we re-engine the A4s. Most refurbishment are on avionics which is what is onboard the aircraft. We can do the same for the E-2C's but the structure needs a re-work.

Vehicles and aircraft are different, so cannot be compared. 25 years is a bit too long in the tooth don't you think? We don't want our men to fly and risk their lives if possible. There are many men on board during a normal flight.

It is not the same, different engines and performance-wise cannot beat the G550. There are already about 200 G550 in service.

New production of same aircraft albeit different version. The E-2C has to be retired due to old age. There is a mandatory requirement that may need to be done which might be too costly such as replacing the basic structural components, skin, longerons and fuselage.

I think the E-2D will not be ready in time to replace the E-2C and perhaps more expensive in terms of parts and maintenance. Also need to consider the speed, range and engine-type. The turboprop is not build for speed which may be a major consideration. When attacked, Singapore will not be a...

He is trolling for points hahaha. Instead got found out now sure kena zap.

How can you upgrade an old aircraft, one that is 25 years old?

These are not fighter aircraft that will need to take off when enemy approaches. They are meant for surveillance and fly on a 24 hour X 365 days rotational basis. They are built for the purpose of giving us early warning before the enemy can attack and also command and control to direct our...

The E-2C is 25 years old bro. How long do you expect them to fly? The replacement is about due don't you think?
