Mr Pritam Singh: To ask the Minister for Defence (a) what are the Ministry's plans for the E-2C Hawkeye aircraft now that the G550 aircraft have been formally commissioned into service to replace the former; and (b) whether there is any prospect of a sale or transfer of these aircraft to friendly nations for defence diplomacy and, if so, which nations.
Minister for Defence Dr Ng Eng Hen: The E-2C aircraft have served their full operational lifespan of over 20 years, and are now obsolete. As such, the aircraft are no longer suitable for sale or transfer. We will be disposing of them in due course.
