Posted: 17 Oct 2011, 1215 hours (Time is GMT +8 hours)
Singapore is hosting Exercise Bersama Lima, a major Five Power Defence Arrangements (FPDA) joint exercise involving air, maritime and land forces from Australia, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore and the United Kingdom. The exercise, held from 17 Oct to 4 Nov 2011, will involve about 4000 personnel, 68 aircraft, 18 ships, two submarines and various support elements from the FPDA member nations.
This year's exercise will comprise a shore phase held at the Changi Command and Control Centre and a sea phase that will be carried out in the South China Sea. In addition, a two-day humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR) workshop involving other government departments and non-governmental organisations will be conducted in conjunction with the exercise. Exercise Bersama Lima aims to enhance interoperability and mutual understanding among the personnel of the FPDA armed forces. It also serves to strengthen the FPDA's capabilities in dealing with regional security challenges.
Present at the opening ceremony this morning were Chief of Defence Force Lieutenant-General (LG) Neo Kian Hong and the Malaysian Chief of Defence Forces General Tan Sri Dato' Sri Zulkifeli bin Mohd Zin. During his interaction with exercise participants, LG Neo noted that FPDA joint exercises strengthen professional ties and develop military cooperation among member nations. He said: "FPDA joint exercises enhance member countries' capacity in areas of mutual interests, such as maritime security and HADR. Exercise Bersama Lima, which involves both assets and personnel from member nations, provides the FPDA armed forces an opportunity for knowledge sharing and to interoperate at various levels."
The FPDA Defence Ministers will be visiting Exercise Bersama Lima when they meet in Singapore on 1 Nov 2011 in commemoration of the FPDA's 40th anniversary. Singapore will also be hosting the 8th FPDA Defence Ministers' Meeting on the same day.

The last time Singapore hosted FPDA Bersama Lima Exercise was in 2009 i think:
FungiL3CUAw kawan aku ada kat Tuas skrg nie.. jaga eks nie laa.. Reply 1# belacan79
Dlm senarai mu, RAF tornado F3/F4 maupun Typhoon tiada.
Mereka tak hadir exercise kali ni? Reply 2# belacan79
Wa wonder RMAF F-18 & Mig 29 jadi bogey man dlm exercise ?
Kalau main peranan sebagai wira, macam pulak RSAF "cakap" dgn Mig 29 yg tiada datalink langsung? Reply 6# cmf_nando
rasanya memang btolnya,bukankah 2 pesawat tuk beda blok, satu buatan barat (usa) satu lagi buatan rusia, jadi datalinknya susah tuk connect kecuali ada bypass dari control darat. jadi agressor pun takpa.... tgk boleh titik ke tak falcon ngan horny tuh.... Reply 6# cmf_nando
Voice vectoring dari rsaf awacs atau aew planes dan ground and sea based radars aku rasa. Post Last Edit by belacan79 at 18-10-2011 19:50

Entah...aku pun tak tahu. Tak pasti jikalau Typhoon akan hadir di Bersama Lima. Anyway, in Bersama Sheild 2011,you also did not see the F15SG and Suk 30 MKM.
Things to look foward to in the future are the participation of the RAAF Wedgetail AEW planes alongside Singapore's G550 Phalcons AEW planes, RN's Type 45s alongside Singapore's Formidables (both classes use Aster missile shields), submarines from TLDM, RSN, RN and RAN.
Forgot to add in last reply. RSAF's F16Ds/D plus are said to be similar to F16Is and F16 wild weasels. That is they are powerful jamming aircrafts in addition to being good multi role combat jets. 4 X Typhoon and a tanker just landed....around 6.15pm Reply 11# Taring22
Wohoo..all these assets..Lets invade someone. :P Someone call the Suk 30 MKM and F15SG too. ada satu negara akan pobia ngan FPDA exercise ni....;P tengok le dalam berapa hari lagi keluar la kot komen2 bernas....:lol: jadi agressor pun takpa.... tgk boleh titik ke tak falcon ngan horny tuh....

Betul. tapi kena lepas dulu mak mertua (G550 AEW) yg selalu hantar sms kat falcon.
Tyhoon belum ngan dgn mak mertua, jadi jgn lepas peluang cucuk puas-puas. Reply 16# cmf_nando
Maaf tuan. Senarai diastas tu senarai exercise lain - Exercise Bersama sheild 2011. Kali ini exercise bersama lima 2011. Jangan pening. Reply 18# cmf_nando
Would you believe a F5E can defeat even a typhoon with the right conditions and circumstances? air combat is multi dimensional and not simply platform versus platforms. hence, air forces around the world are building systems of systems.
