The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF)
rolled out its first F-15SG multi-role fighter aircraft at a ceremony on
3 Nov at St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The F-15SG roll-out marks
yet another significant milestone in the transformation of the RSAF into
a 3rd Generation Air Force. |
|
Equipped with state-of-the-art avionics and
a sophisticated integrated sensor suite, the F-15SG is the most advanced
variant of the F-15 aircraft built to date. |
|
With its ability to carry a large
payload of weapons and fuel to give it increased firepower and
combat endurance, the F-15SG will provide the 3rd Generation SAF
with enhanced air defence and air superiority capabilities. |
|
The RSAF has acquired a total of 24 F-15SG
aircraft. The first batch of F-15SG aircraft will be delivered to the
RSAF's detachment at the Mountain Home Air Force Base, Idaho, United
States, next year. |

Chief of Air Force, Major-General Ng Chee
Khern, officiated at the F-15SG roll-out ceremony, which was attended by
Singapore and US representatives of the respective air forces and
defence establishments. |
