In December 2005 the Ministry of Defence
announced the purchase of an initial 12 Boeing F-15SG fighter aircraft
to replace the Republic of Singapore Airforce (RSAF)'s A-4 Skyhawk
fighters. |
|
The Ministry of Defence has, on 22nd October
2007, exercised the option to purchase eight more F-15SG fighters which
was part of the original contract signed in December 2005. |
|
Along with this buy, an additional order for
four F-15SGs was made. |
|
This acquisition of 12 more F-15SGs is part
of the RSAF's continuing effort to renew its fighter fleet. |
|
The additional F-15SGs, which will be
equipped with sophisticated avionics and weapon systems, will be
delivered from 2010. |
