The Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF) has publicly confirmed that its upgraded Lockheed Martin F-16 C/D/D+ fighter aircraft are now armed with the Python 5 air-to-air missile.

This confirmation can be seen on an information board at a stand that has been set up at Paya Lebar Air Base to showcase the aircraft.

The base is accessible to the public from 9 to 10 September as part of an ‘open house' event to mark the service's 55th anniversary. Janes was granted advanced access as part of a media event.

Prior to this event, confirmation regarding the Python 5 and its deployment status on the RSAF's fleet of upgraded F-16s was provided to select media outlets on a non-attributable basis.

The Python 5 is an Israeli fourth-generation air-to-air missile with surface-to-air applications.

It features an improved maximum range of 20 km when compared with its predecessor, the Python 4, which can strike targets at distances of up to 15 km.
