Orion Talks Underway In India
Aviation Week’s article on the sale of P-3s to India including C-130Js. It talks about sending an F-16 to Aero India 2005, and it seems that the a/c will come from Singapore. Perhaps the F-16D Blk 52+ from 145 Sqn? So its confirm that at least Blk 50/52s will be offered for the fighter competition.
F-16s for the IAF? WOAHHhh! This gonna be interesting! Imagine both India and Pakistan having F-16s in their inventory and , if God forbids, both were to engage in some territiory ‘adventure’ and THEIR respective F-16s were to meet in combat! Hhhmmm..
Say, does anyone know how to do a graphic on a F-16 in IAF colours and post here :diablo: ?
Video clip of the news on TV, I’ll leave it there till 7 Dec due to disk space constraits.

Minister for Defence, Rear-Admiral (NS) Teo Chee Hean, officially opened Changi Air Base (East) this afternoon. The opening of Changi Air Base (East) is a milestone in the development of the RSAF as it is a significant enhancement to the operational capability of the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) to defend Singapore’s airspace.AMRAAMS

EXCELLENT PIC, Pirate! Your attachment speaks a thousand words!
The caption read the Shenzhen-class destroyer and the Zhuhai-class.
I’m not sure do they refer to the same class, but perhaps someone into PLAN naval ships can verify this.
When did Singapore get CFTs, or CFT compatible F-16s? This a recent delivery?
Further to your queries, I checked and was informed that actually the attachment was part of a clip that was shown on local tv last evening.
I don’t have the clip here but was informed that the clip had 2 very important revelations – a) the CFTs & b) the F-16Ds were carrying AMRAAMs (on the starboard missile rails).
I will attach here once the pic with the AMRAAMs are available. 😮
Attached is a pic of a F-5E in Vietnamese Air Force markings.
I’ve been waiting for the large picture of this.
The SU-27SKM (and accessories) 😀
WOW!! If the ZhuHai Airshow is so bloody happening! I definitely attending next year’s airshow!
P/s. Look at the Russian Technicians, they looked dumbstucked!
Hi felx297,
Below is the link for Russian Camouflage aircraft. Even though you may find the lack of pics for the SU-24 there disappointing, but it contains the camouflage patterns for SU-24 foreign operators.
