building?, err... let me see...
R&D/Testing = may take lotsa years and millions of dollars (yes dollars)
Operation = we are already dried up!!
we already have SRDP or Self-Reliant Defense Posture (PD 415)
the south african learn the hard way when they tried to build their own helicopter!!, it is more practical to buy one that build one... FOR NOW!
what we are capable of building are Ships and Small Arms let's stick to that first... before we go for aviation and heavy armor...
one thing i also see why there is few defense contractor here in the philippines is because of the CORY constitution prohibits Foreign investor from owning the company 100%
corruption has nothing to do with it... its not the AFP that will build them its the private sector...
