I was actually there on page 25 where Lee Cheun Fei discussed the deevlopment of the APFSDS round. He did not mentioned the place where the staff when 2 weeks before to prepare the armour plates for the firing. That place was Hukou plateau, the Taiwanese army's tank training area. It was one of their ranges that overlooked the sea, if any penetrator rod when through the armour plates would go out to sea. The fact they could not boresight the 75mm properly tells u how fucked up they are. LOL. And also the accuracy of the APFSDS was not like what he said. The grouping was terrible and in fact was the major issue to be solved. He also took all the kudos and did not mention the IDF and Taiwanese in the development either. LOL.
 
Singapore a country that loves peace.

We bulid and continuously improve and make killing machines to be sold all over the world.
 
World War 3 will be fought with AI powered fighter jets, bombers and submarines with no sailors or pilots onboard. These weapons can be made smaller, cheaper, more precise and more lethal, which means that WW3 will be far more intense than WW2, because the cost-vs-damage ratio will be greatly reduced. Will Singapore be a safe place in 2048?

Imagine an upgraded version of this RC plane.

Selling weapons is a way to raise the GDP. If the USA hadn't sold weapons to Taiwan the mainland China commies would have overrun it. And NS boys can no longer go there for training. :biggrin:

Peace is not given to you, you must fight for it.

Not if the AI gains sentience like Skynet.

I don't think that is possible. But AI to coordinate a swarm of bombers will be terrifying. Coastal cities are very vulnerable and can be totally devastated.

Only stupid will fight ad die under the orders of manipulative leaders benefit.
They will live and prosper after the war, regardless of whoever wins while you die and your family suffer.
And those who make a living designing weapons and then have those send to poor third world countries where children, women and the elderly are the most common victims have blood on their hands.

I hope ST will develop this traditional weapon that specializes in decapitation. I'm sure there's a big market for this.
