The other plane we operate is the F-16 C/D.
The F-15T will phase out the A-4S Skyhawk and the F-5E Tiger II.

I might be wrong, but from my information Malaisia does not yet has a Su-30MKM but expects delivery somewhen during this year. In total they will receive around 18 Su-30 MKM. Maybe they have some earlier version of Su-27?
It looks to me that Su-30MKM being a replica of MKI (differing by replacement of Israely pieces for French) is stronger platform than F-15T . However it is not really important as Singapore is unlikelly to fight Malaisia..... geography will not leave Singapore much chance if a war rages. From what I understand the millitary doctrine of Singapore is selfdefense and defense of the straits.....
