Philippine Airforce - One of the weakest in the world

[7DMM]

Games of the GENERAL ? Hehehe ... bro sometimes mnaka ingon sad ta na nindot baya ang suggestions nila but then buhaton gani na sa gobyerno pod mo reklamo pod na sila ngano gipalit na mahal kaayo ndiay LMFAO !

hehehe i agree with you bro.

some of you here are have very good suggestions but it's not as easy as making a list of toys you want for xmas when it comes to buying military hardware.

there are more things to consider than just buying combat aircraft.if you can buy one it doesn't always mean you can keep it flying.(operational cost) aside from that will the country of origin is willing to sell you their hardware as well as the technology packed with it (US and other countries puts a lot of restrictions even if you're buy second hand military hardware and sad to say that this beloved country of ours has "infractions" that will or has prevented us from purchasing some of these)

I agree..

Pero how come even 3rd world countries maka support man?

I dont know if we are barred to purchase military hardware since we wala man tay sanctions.

Like sa Indonesia, after the East Timor violence.. The US imposed a military embargo.. making their F16's hard to maintain.. so they look somewhere else and made a deal with Russia to supply them military weapons.

Because its the NEED and not the WANT bro .

I was there when the CIVIL WAR broke out within INDONESIA and EAST TIMOR sanctioned by the UN FORCES . There is still threat till today considering INDONESIA as an example . It is a big mass of land .

I haven't read or heard this one from the news. This one came from wikipedia...can anyone confirm the article below?

"On May 12, 2008 the Philippine Air Force signed a contract with Alenia Aermacchi to order 18 brand new units of SF-260 military trainers to be assembled at Clark Air Base at a contract price of 14.6 million US Dollars.[9]

According to Air Force Public Information officer Major Gerardo M. Zamudio Jr., that aside from the new SF-260 trainer planes and night capable attack helicopters, the PAF is set to purchase under its capability upgrade program, 8 primary trainer aircraft, 10 additional Huey UH-1H utility helicopters, 8 brand new combat utility helicopters, 8 new attack helicopters, 2 light lift aircraft, and 12 trainer helicopters.

The Air Force is also out to upgrade 20 MD520MG attack helicopters.

These acquisitions and upgrades, including aerial surveillance cameras, communication equipment, 1.2-ton trucks, and additional military hardware, are part of PAF’s Horizon 1, the internal security - centered stage of modernization focused on making insurgent groups irrelevant by the year 2010.

Horizon 2, the transition stage to territorial defense, is set to take effect by 2012.[10]

Air Force Chief Lt. Gen. Pedrito Cadungog said the Air Force is presently in the process of making a study of what type of fighter jets they are going to acquire. He said the acquisition can only start after 2010 which is the projected defeat of internal security threats."

i saw 4 bnew attack helis carried and unloaded via antonov carriers here in cebu last year.. i've been trying to search it on the web also but cant find as of now of the exact classifications/make/model of those helis..

try to check the annual budget of those 3rd world countries and you'll see how much of their money is spent for the military compared to basic services.you can get your answers there bro.

Maglisod man gani budget sa patrol car sa pulis, mangandoy pa ta jetfighter sa airforce. Ibulsa na lang na sa goberno sa manila para mo-taas ang pundo sa ilang bank account. Kaluoy sa mga pinoy.
