HOW SAF OUT-FOXED AND OUT- SHOOT THE TOP GUNS OF USAF IN RED FLAG COMBAT EXERCISE

Red Flag Combat Exercise is conducted by the USA Air Force (USAF) in Nellis Air Force Base in Nevada desert and friendly countries are invited to take part with the USAF. Recently Singapore Air Force took part in the Combat Exercise. The US is represented by their best top notch Fighter Pilots from United States Air Force (USAF), United States Navy (USN), United States Marine Corps (USMC) and United States Army (USA). The 414th Combat Training Squadron of the 57th Wing (57WG) over sees the entire very realistic aerial war games.

For the first three days, no matter what the Singapore Fighter Pilots flying their own F-16s did, they were ambushed every time. Then it dawned on the Singaporeans that the combined Forces of US were eaves dropping on them with their espionage technologies, thus thwarting all the SAF’s detailed planning and tactics.

To counter the lack of back up and espionage abilities, the SAF pilots switched to using their peculiar way of speaking, ie Singlish, in all their communications and managed to rout the USAF in the last 3 days of simulated aerial Combat that entails dog- fights in the air. Yes, the tiny Nation of Singapore earned their respect. Kudos to these talented Fighter Pilots!
