Despite having fewer than six million inhabitants and an area of just 280 square miles or 730 square kilometers, an area similar to that of New York City and half the size of others such as London or Mexico City, Singapore is a military powerhouse.
It may come as a surprise to you and perhaps you have never heard of it, but Singapore has one of the best-equipped armed forces in the world. Armed Forces that were designed by Israel and that today would be capable of defeating practically all its neighbors. In this video we tell you all the details about the less familiar face of Singapore.
