The Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) and Australian Defence Force (ADF) conducted a bilateral armour exercise, codenamed Matilda, at the Mount Bundey Training Area in Darwin, Australia.

About 100 personnel from the 48th battalion, Singapore Armoured Regiment (48 SAR) and their Leopard 2SG Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) were involved in the training with their Australian counterparts from the 1st Armoured Regiment.

MINDEF said during the two-day exercise from September 16 to 17, both forces had a professional exchange on Main Battle Tanks doctrine and operations, and conducted a series of tactical missions together.

The exercise culminated on Tuesday in manoeuvre training between the Tanks of both armies.

MINDEF said Exercise Matilda is testament to the close and long-standing defence ties between Singapore and Australia.

They have also worked together in close partnership in the multinational reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan.
