Terrifying! Singapore Equips F-16 Fighter Jets with Python-5 Missiles

Singapore has officially confirmed that its enhanced F-16 fighter aircraft are now equipped to launch the Python-5 air-to-air missile, one of the most advanced guided missiles in the world. An information panel displayed during the Republic of Singapore Air Force's 55th-anniversary open house event at Paya Lebar Air Base reveals that the recently enhanced Lockheed Martin F-16 C/D/D+ Fighting Falcons includes Python-5 missiles from Israeli company Rafael Advanced Defense Systems among the weaponry compatible with these aircraft. The Python-5 missile from Israel on Singapore’s upgraded F-16s. Singapore and Israel have maintained a strong defense alliance since Singapore gained independence from Malaysia in 1965, with Israel playing a pivotal role in assisting Singapore in establishing its military capabilities. Singapore is initially upgrading its fleet of 20 F-16D Block 52+ aircraft, with an additional 40 older Block 52 aircraft that were delivered from 1998 onward slated for upgrades in the future.

the RSAF has had the Python-5 for a long time(just did not announce), together with its predecessor the Python-4. And the RSAF also have AIM_9X as well.

[@dryden28]

SG already have the AIM-9X and both of them are relatively similar in performance.

Anyone know why missiles mounted at side of fighter plane are facing downwards?

[@danielc2701]

Gravity. lol. Those were initially designed for the Sidewinders (AIM-9) but these days it is common to fit the AMRAAM (AIM-120) there instead and the AMRAAMs are a twice as heavy, hence it droops a bit.

[@danielc2701]

The AIM-7 had a terrible introduction record where F-4 pilots had to fire all the Sparrow missiles in a ripple fire to get kills on Migs. Python definitely is better than the Sparrow. Not to mention one is fire and forget while the other is semi-active radar guided which requires you to keep your radar on the target before it can track.

[@majinboo6377]

well, to me singapore is still fvckn easy to invade. not to mention its small af size and their citizens are weak. its only one city. once enemies set foot on their coasts or make a drop to their buildings its easy raid from there on. plus they have nowhere to run and hide. like, literally. their greatest shield is still US defending them, just like japan and taiwan.

[@qwertypoet2386]

They can defend their country from invasion as they have experienced it during the WW2 where Japan invaded and ruled Singapore for nearly 3 years.

[@samiel1014]

which is why they will be getting the F-35B variant which you won't need much of a runway to take off, clear the skies, defend the runways and even if the runways are being destroyed, they can turn their highways into runways. Singapore is so much more prepared for war than you'll ever think.

[@danielc2701]

Singapore's air bases are a bit tougher than people realize. The British used to store nuclear weapons there as a 2nd strike capability and the runways were hardened to withstand a close nuclear blast so that the V-class bombers could still use them to lift off. It was called Operation Mastodon, you can look it up.

[@panda63725]

You need to make your own strategic depth. U don't know what that is? Get an education before mouthing off

[@panda63725]

The strategy is to counter attack from outside of Singapore while the iron drone defense system shields the country from any incoming hostility. It may be small but its air force can be launched from multiple overseas air force bases and strikes the throat of the hostile country.
