Re: ST Engineering CEO suffers stroke after watching his shit products at NDP rehears
That is immoral of the relevant individuals and entities.
Yet, the unreasonable authorities have the moral compass to question "do you wish to have three meals at the food court or hawker centre", and continue to ignore the financially, medically, and physically challenged.
By the way, what is "a low pressure 120mm tank gun."
In the old days under SAE, Chartered, etc the military role for the precursor to ST Eng was to upgrade and modify the used equipment bought from overseas. Hence, you have AMX-13s being upgraded and modified. Some other companies would make licensed production of Merc and Fiat 3 tonners. M-16 and GPMG were all also licenced manufactured. All the equipment they were tasked with making or upgrading was within their technical means. Occasionally, they are called upon to make and develop specialized stuff like APFSDS rounds for the 75mm AMX tank gun, This is a legitimate role as no other manufacturers make this type of ammo. Occasionally also, they will foray into small arms manufacturing like SAR-80 (a total failure) and Utimax SAW ( a mixed success).
Then for some reason, they decided that the M113 Ultra and any of the many tracked APCs and ICVs on the market were not good enough for the SAF and choose to develop the Bionix. I know one of the goals was to export it. But really, with an American engine and many american parts, there were only limited places that it could be sold in. And who would buy such an important piece of equipment from a country and a company with no track record in battle or at war? The R & D and production line set up does not warrant the orders of about 400 for the Bionix and even less (135) for the Terrex. The R & D was so screwed up that one of the original goals of the Bionix project (a main tank variant) was totally not doable. They tried to put a tank turret with a low pressure 120mm tank gun but that did not work. Even a 105mm tank gun turret could not work. They even hired an American company to help but it was decided that it was a no go, so in the end had to order the Leo2 from Germany.
This kind of fucking org has been given a blank cheque by the PAP to do any fuck project they want without justification to the cost or potential losses or feasibility. Karma comes back to haunt this CEO. Maybe his guilty conscious gave him a stroke.
