This country is arm to teeth with one of the highest GDP per capita in Asia. Even though majority of population is Chinese descendant, their society is pretty open and welcome all countries. Recently Indian descendant population has been growing really fast and we will see more Hindu face in Singapore military force.

Can anyone tell their missiles capability like their range,speed etc

They have some serious kick-rump equipment there! How come all these small countries are so lethally armed to teeth (Singapore, Israel etc)? Guess being small and thus vulnerable makes them very serious about being a hi-tech and hence a lethal force. Really professional force I must say. Its unfortunate that they don't have enough land under their belt. Had they ben even Vietnam's size, they could have gobbled down the entire Southeast.

The SAF relies heavily on a large pool of conscripts in the active and reserve forces. It has an active strength of around 71,600 personnel and is capable of mobilising over 350,000 reservists,

Deterrence and diplomacy have been the fundamental tenets of Singapore's military defence policy.

Singapore has consistently supported a strong U.S. military presence in the Asia-Pacific region. In 1990, the U.S. and Singapore signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) which allows the U.S. access to Singapore facilities at Paya Lebar Air Base and the Sembawang wharves. Under the MOU, a U.S. Navy logistics unit was established in Singapore in 1992; U.S. fighter aircraft deploy periodically to Singapore for exercises, and a number of U.S. military vessels visit Singapore. The MOU was amended in 1999 to permit U.S. naval vessels to berth at Changi Naval Base, which was completed in early 2001.

The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) consists of the:

* Army (three Combined Arms Divisions: 3 Div, 6 Div & 9 Div, two Army Operational Reserve Divisions, 21st and 25th, and one island defence command: 2 People's Defence Forces)
* Air Force (seventeen squadrons and four air bases)
* Navy (eight squadrons and two naval bases)

The SAF is headed by the Chief of Defence Force (CDF), a three-star General (i.e. Lieutenant General) by establishment and the sole and only (active) SAF General that can be promoted or hold three-star rank; he is assisted by the three chiefs of the respective services (Army, Airforce, Navy), who are two-star generals/admirals by establishment (or Major-General/ Rear-Admiral).

Singapore has used Kalaikunda and Pokhran for training.

Just Love their Spider LSV !! Wish we had something like this in IA, highly agile, and armed with various weapon platforms. The Boinix AFV is equally good too. This is what is called quality ! A small country making such awesome weapon systems and platforms.
