Kaya gyud, which is why the pilots should adapt appropriate tactics to avoid getting shot down by these improvised anti-aircraft weapons. Pero so far, ang mga Abu Sayyaf di pa man suweto mag target ug mga erplano. Nakatsamba sila this week sa usa ka Huey nga na rakrakan, pero wala pa gyud sila naka shoot down.

Wurag dili ni nila gamiton against sa Abu Sayyaf. Gamiton ni nila against future People Power 4 para mahimo nang Prime Minister for life si Gloria...

Lisod man ni gamiton sa Gubat (forest) or jungle warfare. maayo lang na sa open field or plain mountain na gamay lang puno.

nope, cobra was born during the vietnam war it was design to be operated on this condition, nowadays helicopter don't just attack what they see... they depend ground troops for coordinates of the target... so even if they don't see the target as long as the area is painted or marked then they could fire into that location, cobra is a versatile AH, but it requires good doctrine to be more effective...

Maglisud gihapon ang A-10 kung bukid2x. Paspas ra kaayo, mag lisud ug ku-ot. Choppers still the best.

not really coz it depends on the doctrine used if the A-10 are just used for CAS then it requires ground troop's input before engaging the target... fast but slower compare to jet....

this was used in stan and iraq nga daghan bukid.....

Makapurdoy pud ang bala sa A-10. Depleted uranium na armor-piercing... wala may tanke ang mga rebelde nato.

yes, but not really necessary nga kana ang gamiton it's part of it's arsenal..... the hog has another ammo that don't have depleted uranium, even we are capable of buying it, it is still not since nuclear weapon na siya... we have a law to prohibit nuclear weapon in our country....

Naa man daw ta mga General Atomics drone nga gipang gamit sa Mindanao. Ambut lang kung US pa ba ang nagpalupad or ang PAF na.

we do have some UAV actually i think there was 3 of it... registered under the Office of the President.... and some smaller UAV used by AFP, dunno if it is the Israeli UAV

Palit na lang kahag MQ-9 Reaper UAV, kanang gipang gamit ug patay sa mga Taliban sa Pakistan. Makabitbit ug GBU-12 Paveway II, AGM-114 Hellfire, AIM-9 Sidewinder, etc... Mas barato pa tingali kaysa AH-1W.

mas mahal pa noon ni kay daghan kaayo electronics gigamit.... ang maka mahal baya sa UAV kay iyang electronics....

Cobras were used in Vietnam

this was used in stan and iraq nga daghan bukid..... here we go...it doesnt need ground troops(only)..

my 2 cents? registered under the "Office of the President"? for what

mas mahal pa noon ni kay daghan kaayo electronics gigamit.... ang maka mahal baya sa UAV kay iyang electronics....

then they should in helo

RPG is not an anti-aircraft weapon it's an anti-infantry that's why it's a grenade in the first place. You've seen to much hollywood movies bwahahaha....

The Afghan mujahideen and then later Somali and Iraqi insurgents had some success in adapting the RPG for anti-aircraft use (anti-helicopter, specifically).
