Philippine Airforce - One of the weakest in the world

dili kaha outdated na ang f-16? were talking about fighting falcons? right? if so na mao ra na ang atong ma-afford, even equal number pa, murag dili makaya if j10 ang kalaban. kay ang j-10 is designed to combat an f-22 raptor, which is already a 5th gen jetfighter.

as far as i know J10 is only comparable to F15's and not F22 raptor. if you mean the counterpart for F22 then i guess you mean the J20. i think. correct me if im mistaken.

Just wondering, if for example mupalit tag F-16's nya for example mu trespass ang China with their new Fighter Jets, makaya ra kaha natu defend atung airspace? assuming same number sa Aircraft ha.

with the planned number of planes to be bought.. it only goes to patrol, warned military planes they are now on philippine territory. "warn" better name for it is prevention for outbreak of hostilities(while warning thru radio @ the same time, fingers crossed ).

J20 imong pasabot bro not J10. There is no way we can win a conventional war against China bisan sa atong neighbors. The purpose of having F16 is to deter against the Chinese provocation in the Spratlys and guard our national interest in the area.

Thats the reason Vietnam acquired Su27/30 to protect its territories.

unsay laing option gawas sa F-16's ug MIGS nga pwedi pang WARN?

ayaw na lang mo pang ambisyon anang against china

we are 50years behind sa ila

in terms of weaponry | support infastracture , samot na ug discipline


spratlys can only be guarded against CHINA and develop if we do it with asean nation.


not counting CHINA had stealth technology on its sleeves, the SU27 interceptors | SU30Mki on its new aircraft carrier from russia | SU35 terminator wil just blow philippines anytime they want, save for American intervention


but CHINA will not be afraid anymore anytime soon as the anti-satellite | anti carrier cruise missile | anti stealth over the horizon anti aircraft missile is maturing slowly

[butitoy]

for now, CHINA is counting on its Nuclear Deterrent | first strike capability and retaliatory strike against USA

and Quantity of Army in case of attrition war..

thanks to Digital Age and internet, they are slowly amassing technology in any means necessary ( that includes hacking of course ) to upgrade their armed forces.

not to mention waepons Buying of Engineering Sample version and copying..and Legal Tech transfers < this is how they mass produce their SU and Mig Copies


China is the Reason why the Vaulted Israeli Lavi Tactical aircraft was cancelled



yet CHINA was able to get the tech to produce their own version : the J10

[digitalsuperman]

lol. whoever said nangambisyon mi sa china. the mutual defense treaty with the US will always be there. but its a different topic. main topic here is the capability of our airforce to effectively do its job by having better tools to protect our sovereignty. that's the main argument.

[butitoy]

this design is aerodynamically superior to the Wing-Body blends Design of F-16 C | D Block 50 -52 save for the fully digital fly-by wire system F-16 Has..

F-16 have 2 ultimate version the Double Canard F-16XL with greater wing loading | aerodynamics | and range, but was not pushed on as it might endanger US interests, that time guarded by the F-15E strike eagle Air superiority fighter and F-14D.

Another Version is the F-16 AFTI a far more maneuverable aircraft than the Mig35 | Su-27 | Su-35

was not pushed for same reason as too many countries that operates F-16 wanted the same upgrade.

it is considered a nightmare for ARAB Countries seeing ISRAEL have it | India is threatened if Pakistan will have it. So does whole eastern block , its still cold war that time

no need to buy F-16 then

instead government should buy AC-130 Gunship | AT10 Thunderbolts | Harriers Jumpjets for Counter insurgency operations

lots of Sikorsky SH60 | Apaches or AH1W SuperCobra
