SAF tests new smart bombs

The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) has successfully tested the use of new smart bombs in an integrated exercise overseas. This is the first time these advanced strike munitions, the Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), have been featured in a wargame involving the air and land troops of the Republic.

The two-week long Exercise Forging Sabre in Arizona, United States involved more than 450 personnel, as well as the F-15SG and F-16C/D fighter jets, and Apache AH-64D and Chinook CH-47 helicopters from the RSAF.

The exercise also saw the RSAF's F-15SG aircraft dropping Laser JDAMs for the first time against mobile targets in day and night mission scenarios.
