FORT SILL (OKLAHOMA): A new rocket artillery weapon system acquired by the Singapore Armed Forces (SAF) to give its ground troops greater reach and firepower went into action yesterday.
The US-made High Mobility Artillery Rocket System, or Himars, was fired for the first time as part of the Forging Sabre war games being carried out in the rugged scrublands of Fort Sill in Oklahoma, in the United States.
The SAF is training on US-supplied hardware for now, and will take delivery of the first of 18 Himars it purchased by the middle of next year.
