SINGAPORE EYES F-16 REPLACEMENT

摘要

THE SINGAPOREAN MINISTRY of Defense has said it will come to a decision on a replacement for its F-16C/D/D+ fighter fleet in the next few months. Equipping three squadrons at the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)'s Tengah Air Base and the Peace Carvin IV training detachment in Phoenix, Arizona, the fleet of 60 F-16s was delivered between 1998 and 2004. The jets are in the midst of a mid-life upgrade by Lockheed Martin that will bring them to a standard on par with the F-16V.
