With low-cost drones being used in Ukraine and Iran, Mr Wong noted that such a trend can pose challenges to countries with advanced defence technologies.

"You can have the most advanced interceptors, but when your aggressor is deploying cheap swarms of drones, it's very challenging for your interceptors to defend," he said, adding that it also takes time to replace the expensive assets.

F35 high value target deep penetration the so called drone u see in Ukraine cannot do long range for example to Moscow. Unless you park your truck near Kremlin

Ask our ex-defense minister Ng Hen Eng lah. He was the guy who approved those fancy expensive toys last time. This guy is a doctor, he knows nuts about military.
Heng now we got CCS as defense chief. If not I think we might get 10% gst soon.

drone swarm can be brought down by laser guided 70mm rockets launched from fighter jet or 4 wheel ground truck


this is old information 2 year old
only now then the media pretend to be caught off guard ....... then other ppl need to pretend ohhh we dunno the cost difference so big
no excuses ........... US airforce long ago posted photos of their f-15 carrying 42 70mm guided rockets for anti drone mission ..... this is before the 2025 june war and the 2026 feb war

even the 20k drone is fake news ..... shahed136 is not that cheap

apkwsII is cheaper than shahed136
the f-15 in above image carry 42 of these .... in addition to traditional aim120 and aim9 missiles

look at latest technology and try to keep up .... don't pander to the ill informed public

How much?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Precision_Kill_Weapon_System
wiki says 22k per rocket @ 2018 price
saudi arabia @ 2025 paid 50k per rocket + spare parts

https://www.twz.com/air/f-15e-armed-with-drone-killing-laser-guided-rockets-appears-in-middle-east
amdk article third last paragraph suggest under 30k

the cost curve is tilted back into the defender's favour .... western interceptor missile cheaper than shahed136 .... problem is need fighter jet and skilled pilot

You must not look at the upfront purchase price of F-35. The US also makes lots more from spare parts and software upgrades over the entire life of the F-35.

oh well I was thinking if the aggressor deploys swarms of cheap drones say 1000 every hour, well we can easily match with twice the number of highly advanced interceptor missiles two to one i.e. 2000 to 1000 every hour to provide more confidence and we certainly have the capabilities and abilities to afford these replacements of these expensive assets?

Yes drone are expensive and missiles are cheap

That's why US and GCC begged for ceasefire and agreed to the 10 point surrender plan

if really serious say the incoming threat is very fast and very huge impact, we can use this missile to intercept it.

Singapore should keep renewing to F35 and to advanced dones and iron curtain.

This is to let the enemy think twice before attacking us knowing Singapore got strong firepower and solid defense

This kind of money from LKY era also know cannot save one
