Singapore: A Small Nation, but a Mighty Military Force

Singapore, a city-state in Southeast Asia, is known for its robust military forces. According to the Wall Street Journal, it is the most heavily defended country in the world. With an impressive array of fighter planes, armored vehicles, and submarines, Singapore is a major player in terms of defense capabilities.

The country’s air force is well-equipped with various aircraft for different purposes. Singapore operates a hundred US-made fighter jets, including F-15E and F-16 aircraft. They have also ordered 12 F-35 fighters, making them a major force in the region.

Singapore’s ground forces are also strong, with a significant number of main battle tanks and armored vehicles. The country’s navy is equipped with frigates, corvettes, submarines, and other naval vessels, showcasing its maritime capabilities.

Due to its small geographical size and lack of strategic depth, Singapore’s defense policy is strict. The country invests heavily in defense each year to maintain their military capabilities. Despite its small size, Singapore’s commitment to defense ensures that it remains well-prepared to defend itself against any threats.

Thanks to its strong economy and high GDP per capita
