no. I spent that money on a new bottle of ginthis question more important: you bought your new tingkat that can contain soup?
time to use POFMA
From the British Raj military, we only kept the gurkhas.The British had a naval and air force base but now they say it's irrelevant.
Uncle, did I ever say saf better? I only wrote ROC tv host like to claim they were saf shifu in everything.You very proud out armed forces mostly made up of NS slaves and where pappies spent a fortune on are better than ROC? I’m not even if it’s true.
You siding with HC against the Taiwanese? I’m not
This is very interesting indeed all my life this is the first time I’ve heard of something like that.
We’ve all trained in ROC....I’ve seen the SAF Centurion tanks which ironically never touch Singapore soil throughout their time in service.
The MP silent drill and riding formation that was so popular with the crowd during NDP was trained by the Taiwanese......
The claim about Chiang Kai Shek providing military advisors to train the SAF is true. The Taiwanese trained the RSAF and RSN, the jews trained the Army. Your information is incorrect on the other points.Every time ROC govt not happy with spore regime, there will be commentators or tv program that show SAF 3 arms all set up by ROC. Claimed chiang kai siek provided advisors to train the SAF. Being hokkien, they even claim to have the first woman pilot of Apache until someone told them RSAF already had women pilot years ago then they change tack to first woman for the new Apache model.
Anyway whatever technological advantages ROC military once had were long gone. Without midair refueling capability, ROC Air Force cannot even win local air superiority. Only 1/3 of it French built mirage are still airworthy due to lack of parts. The locally built 经国号 which only the upgraded F5 and the mainstay of their air force are still the F16A/Bs. USA conned them into buying another 66 F16 which each f16 cost more than RSAF pay for F35.
The worst part is not the disparity of the weapons but the low morale of the service men and women as they were view as 米蟲 by the general public due to indoctrination by pro independence media.
correct. must credit you for this when credit is due although ckshit was almost half dead in 1973 and it was his son and successor cckock who obliged sending advisors over.This information is well known within certain circles. If you want, I will give you the names specifically.
The co-operation with Taiwan was already mentioned in Old Fart's book. He went to ROC several times, with Gecko and Weil Ling. On the second trip, he asked Chiang Kai Shek for help to train the SAF. The Jews would not permit full scale training of the sort that we needed, i.e battalion level exercises. Chiang Kai Shek agreed to do this in exchange for diplomatic recognition of Taiwan as the actual country representing China. Old Fart refused and a compromise was settled, where the Taiwanese were allowed to open a trade mission here but with the full powers of a functioning embassy. Old Fart's book did not go into details.
But Starting in 1973, the Taiwanese send trainers over here. Laucheow SAF personnel and NSmen might have remembered seeing them. They did built up the air force and the navy. The Taiwanese air force was itself buildup, trained and equipped by the Americans, and they did a good job in dogfights and clashes with the PRC Air Force. The Taiwanese navy at that time was small, but also had a good rep in clashes with the PLN in the straits of Formosa and over the Senkaku islands. SO they had combat experience when they trained us.
The senior officer that Taiwan send over to train our Air Force was Commander Liu Ching Chuan. He was actually born in Ipoh but parents moved to ROC. He later became head of the RSAF. The Navy chap was Khoo Eng An, who was a ROCN senior commander. He also became chief of Singapore Navy. Interestingly, Khoo decided to stay in Singapore after his tour of training was over and became a Singapore Citizen. Nowadays, when these PAP fucktards talk about total defence, I laugh. How much of a total defence can you possibly have when a foreign country knows every detail of your air force and navy? LOL.
yes use of proxies and client states to do one’s bidding.just guessing and speculating...heard established militaries wouldn't want to be seen developing SAF because of the political price to be paid...hence i suppose we tango with political pariahs like Israel and Taiwan
but i don't really buy into this thingy both Taiwan and Isreal helped because for friendship sake and etc.Not because of LKY skillful negotiatins either .Both these countries were heavily dependent on Uncle Sam for armament and others
Hence I speculate Taiwan and Isreal moved to help SG at the urging of Uncle Sam...in that way Uncle Sam can have the cake and eat it too.
