  • New zealand makes major investment in defence

    NEW ZEALAND has made a request for the supply of 4 Boeing P8 Poseidon Maritime Warfare aircraft. Total value of contract, including aircraft, training and support package amounts to $1.46 billion. After operating a dedicated fleet of Lockheed P3 Orion for over 40 years , the Kiwis are staying in the game with their US and Aussie allies, especially given the global explosion of submarines.

      The Singa's are temp basing six F-16D's with a view to going fulltime with a F-15SG squadron in the future.

      They don't have the airspace. Singapore is smaller than County Louth.

        Does Singapore have a good relationship with Australia? Why not there??

          The Singa's are already at Pearce AFB in WA with the PC-21. Why not there? Well NZ has an empty hanger where A-4's used to sleep and all the LFZ training areas and bombing ranges are still gazetted yet are seldom used.

                  I do have to say I do like how they are taking a serious long term approach to defence.

                      But will it last?

                      We have a close run election happening this month and could end up again with the same anti-defence lot who cancelled our F-16s and halved our frigate force and very nearly got rid of the P-3K's.

                      But on a brighter note the six RSAF F-16D's I mentioned last month have arrived today on a month long training deployment. This being a test case for the permanent deployment of a squadron of F-15SG's.
