New Zealand will continue to evaluate the proposal for Singapore's F-15 jets to train at Ohakea Air Force Base in New Zealand in the long-term, the defence ministers of both countries said in a joint statement yesterday.
This was among the developments at the second annual Singapore-New Zealand Defence Ministers' Meeting in Auckland.
At the one-day meeting, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen and his New Zealand counterpart Ron Mark reaffirmed the deep defence ties between the two countries, Mindef said in a statement.
In August last year, The Straits Times reported that Singapore had asked the New Zealand government about accommodating F-15SG fighter jet training in Ohakea in the long-term.
According to earlier New Zealand media reports, a move was mooted to deploy a squadron of F-15 fighters at the airbase.
The New Zealand Herald reported that up to 500 people could be stationed at the base in Manawatu on the North Island.
New Zealand hosted Singapore for flying training from August to September last year. The Singapore air force sent six F-16D+ fighter jets, as well as support equipment and personnel to Ohakea for an exercise. In the statement yesterday, Mindef said the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and the New Zealand Defence Force agreed on further cooperation at the meeting.
This would take place through air force staff talks, an education and training working group, and an operational working group.
Mr Mark, who as Defence Minister was meeting a South-east Asian counterpart for the first time, in the joint statement said Singapore is New Zealand's closest defence partner in South-east Asia.
Dr Ng expressed gratitude for SAF training opportunities in New Zealand. Both ministers recognised the longstanding collaboration between the two countries on overseas peace-support missions.
The most recent one was in Iraq as part of the coalition against the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
Dr Ng and Mr Mark also affirmed their commitment to the Asean Defence Ministers' Meeting-Plus framework, and Five Power Defence Arrangements.

HapusKalo beli tempat, pake urusi tetek bengek dewek, emang mau borju urus kerjaan rumah dewek..?
Hwehehehe..
Tetek Bengek itu gejala asma ya mas ??? 😀😀😀😀😀
Hapusf15 punya power dan manuver bagus setara su35....bagus kalau indonesia punya....untuk deep strike...airsuperiority...dll...daripada pelihara f35....mending f15
BalasHapusI disagree. Thr su35 is better at maneuvering. In a dog fight situation the su35 is at an advantage.
HapusThe f15 was originally intended for air superiority but it has shown that it is capable at other roles mainly ground strike hence the f15 eagle was born. The Eagle variant is larger and able to conduct a wide range of strike minitions hence given the term strike fighter. Note it is still an air superiority fighter with the ability to be a strike fighter. Making it a good multi role combat fighter which can back up the f16s which are multi role fighters which is a simple and well balanced fighter. Note that enhanced eagle variants like SG and SA have a slight better capability. Like enhanced thrust, systems and weaponary. I wonder what improvements will the future f15QA(qatar) has.
speed f15 setara su35...mampu lakukan terbang sangat tinggi dibanding pesawat manapun...manuver roling dan kemampuan membawa banyak rudal...daya jelajah jauh....tapi masih menang su35 soal range nya...beda dikit..dulu pernah nawar f15....tapi tni batal nego karena sangat mahal
BalasHapusF15 intake udaranya persis dikiri kanan body... masih ada chance dibuat kecil RCS nya layaknya model F22 dan F35 tinggal tambah dikit body bawah dan conformal tank spt seri Silent Eagle.
BalasHapusSU35 rasanya susah dibentuk mendekati model pesawat kekinian dgn intake yg besar dan menjorok kebawah.
Btw.. itu canard atas mirip sukhoi ya ? Canard SU27 kah modelnya ? Siapa mencontek siapa ini ? F15 inspired by Su27 Or ???...😊
Rem udara itu mas, buat nambah drag pas mendarat, pas terbang jg buat pas kecepatan rendah.
HapusSejak awal desain Eagle dah ada itu..
Kata dubes inggeris moazzam malik inggeris ingin tawarkan lagi zet tempur typhoon dan ingin bersaing dengan f16 viper dari amerika untuk pembentukan 3 skuadron baru bagi wilayah indonesia timur , tetap kans terkuat ada di f16 viper soaly tot smart bomby itu lo yg bikin menggoda hingga 50% tot y , wekwekwek
BalasHapusSerius mas Donny Inggris nawarin Typhoon ? Pantesan 2 hari lalu tumben ngajak meeting pejabat kita... saya pikir mau nawarin kapal destro 😊
HapusKuncian perang memang kekuatan amunisi (bom) dan ketepatan sasaran sih bro. Kalau memang benar TOT nya adalah smart bomb sudah jelas bakalan leading diatas para pesaingnya karena teknologi tsb kita belum mampu membuatnya.
F15 PALING CANGGIH.
