SINGAPORE TO BUY EIGHT F-35 JETS, RAISE DEFENSE BUDGET
Singapore’s Defence Ministry plans to order eight F-35A jets, which would bring the country’s Joint Strike Fighter fleet to 20. The F-35A purchase would be on top of earlier orders for 12 F-35Bs from the American defense company Lockheed Martin.
Addressing Parliament during Wednesday’s budget deliberations, Defence Minister Ng Eng Hen said his ministry wants to take advantage of the competitive price of the F-35As, which are now “comparable” to Boeing’s F-15 jets.

Psssst, someone should tell them that 6 have crashed in the last 2 and a half years so most of their airforce would be gone already. 😂😂😂

F-35 has been involved in 29 crashes since it began flying 17 years ago. With over 721,000 flight hours and more than 965 delivered F-35s, the aircraft has a relatively low crash rate, with fewer than ten confirmed destroyed planes and one pilot fatality. This is chiefly due to new pilots entering the program among various nations and getting use to it's extreme capabilities and controls, especially with the F-35B and it's hover capability.
