Tks Kwaigonegin. Being a Navy guy, I stand corrected. It could be what you mentioned, a Bronco ATTC manufactured under license by Singapore Technologies Corpn. However, I read somewhere that it was some Joint-Venture between US & Singapore with technology/design inputs by both sides. This kind of cooperation also happens with other weapons too. Singapore Defence Industries are receptive to cooperation with other countries, not only for own use but also for International Exports like a few other countries are doing. Kind regards.

- The Royal Gurkha Rifles - Afghanistan
Soldiers of Second Battalion The Royal Gurkha Rifles (2RGR) will soon return to their base in Brunei after completing a six-month tour in Afghanistan on HERRICK 14.
2 RGR have been involved in the full spectrum of conflict including fire fights on the ground, patrols in the blazing desert heat and meetings with key Afghan leaders as well as playing a crucial role in advising and mentoring the Afghan National Security Forces.
For many of the Gurkhas from 2RGR this was their 4th or 5th tour of Afghanistan; Crown copyright
In the Falklands war, the Gurkhas were very disappointed. they were given one of the hills around Port Stanley to retake, but the Argentines had told themselves so many stories about the Gurkhas being cannibals and headhunters, when the attack came many of the Argentine soldiers deserted in terror. Psych warfare in action, and we didn't have to lift a finger! As I said, the Gurkhas were looking forward to some real combat, but at least the casualties were low. Every year there are approximately 30,000 applicants from Nepal for about 100 vacancies in the Gurka regiment. They truly are the best of the best!

Colonel
they are small in stature but you definitely want one on your side in a fight!! their bravery and awesome fighting skills have been known for ages.. below are just a few recent stories.
A Gurkha soldier who single-handedly defeated more than 30 Taliban fighters has been awarded the Conspicuous Gallantry Cross by the Queen.
With that being said I wonder how a Gurkha would fare in an MMA or UFC type championship!
