Singapore says in final negotiations with Boeing
Robert Karniol, Asia-Pacfic editor of Jane's Defence Weekly, said he is 'a bit surprised' by Singapore's selection of the F-15.
'I don't see the F-15 twenty years from now being particularly effective in that environment,' he said.
Karniol added that the selection process will be two phases and this decision is part one. Singapore will either buy some more F-15s in phase two or another type of aircraft. He believes Singapore would go for another aircraft in phase two.
He said the Rafale would have had 'longer legs' as the new-generation aircraft for Singapore.
