Singapore-Australia Exercise Activities

Shawn C. made some very interesting comments on October 8, 2020 [with further comments added by Pete in [...] brackets] :

The [Republic of Singapore Navy] RSN had a video [lasting 2 minutes called "Look back on 25 years of Ex SINGAROO" dated September 25, 2020] on [the RSN's] Facebook page:  https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=454085885508149 [The video is very dramatic, great theme music, with vessels (eg. a Challenger-classsubmarine) aircraft, personnel and weapons firing.]

Quite a busy period for Royal Australian Navy (RAN) Task Group commander Captain Phillipa Hay [some biodata, also about her RIMPAC command]. She provides 4min, 30sec, briefing at https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=4036503553109501

The [Republic of Singapore Air Force] RSAF is now deploying F-15SGG550 AEW and 
A330 MRTT to Darwin [Northern Territory, Australia] for training, and will be restarting Exercise Wallaby in the near future: [see Singapore's Straits Times, September 11, 2020 at] https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/rsaf-to-deploy-200-servicemen-and-aircraft-to-australia

Jane's has also noted that new RSN [coastal defence unmanned surface vessels (USVs)] have been on trial:
