Philippine Airforce - One of the weakest in the world

i think we need multirole aircraft for bombing runs on insurgents positions and also for defending our skies

but i hope PAF would look into the future..unmanned aerial vehicles or drones or even "pilotless" planes would be a major factor in winning wars..imagine a multi-million dollar drone packed with all types of missiles AA,AG,AS..pilotless..shot down..at least million2 ra mawala pero buhi pa controller hehe

When this day comes, IT specialists and armchair pilots with joysticks will have more important roles in warfare--me likes hehehe.

Actually in the near future drones will be the cheaper alternative when it comes to aerial warfare. But in some cases where it needs actual decisions from human pilots, drone cannot replace that. We still need the old school flying metals side-by-side with the composite ones.

Peace only comes after the war...rock-n-roll...AFP

OT :

If our mindset is to equipped our ARMED FORCES with newer technologies so as to catch up in WINNING WARS , aside from HUMANITARIAN SERVICES which btw the airlifts runs the show , we need to beefed up the NAVAL FORCES instead of the AIRFORCES .

Cool. Then my proposal to buy the decommissioned big naval guns of the USN is in fact valid...why I haven't think of that...tsk tsk.

You have big guns plus the abillity to ship humanitarian supplies...payts perting lamiah ni. I can only imagine when the likes of USS Missouri will roam the Philippine seas...that is a majestic old beast!

I dont think capable and sea worthy pa ang mga USN BATTLESHIPS . Unless i overhaul siya but since strategically speaking ... Philippines are composed of small islands , why not invest on CRUISERS and Amphibious ships ? My last sea duty command was the USS Anchorage LSD-36 , after decommisioning it , the Taiwanese Navy bought it cheap . Kana lage if the PN can afford , AFAIK ... mga surplus ships nato are from the Vietnam era and is not even capable of producing potale water .

Back on topic .... kung maka afford ta ug used warships and some helo's and planes ... the NAVY can run the show without the help of the Airforces to function well during war and peace times . The flight deck of an AMphibious ship can cater the needs of a Transport helo , a Harrier and the lower dock can accomodate LCAC'S and LCU'S . The NAVAL FORCES is one big PACKAGE DEAL ... it can function as both the ARMY and the AIRFORCE .

Remember ... to win a WAR , you must have control over the seas first before anything else .

This was before the advent of aerial warfare. Nowadays, just one flight of strike a/c armed with Exocets, Harpoons, or Penguins can render an opposing surface fleet to scrap in just a matter of seconds.

Actually bai RODS .... I am not that literate in the AIR WARFARE because I am more of a SURFACE WARFARE guy .... considering the AIRFORCE is that equipped , you are against a much lesser equipped of an ENEMY NAVAL FORCE maybe from another country . What I am trying to portray here is , let the US AIRFORCE attack the US NAVY ... it will never happened but the technology we are talking about is at PAR with each other and I can guarantee you the USAF will not win bai .
