DND reviewing South Korea's offer to supply fighter jets

MANILA, Philippines - An Air Force technical team is evaluating whether 12 FA-50 fighter jets that a South Korean firm is offering can deliver medium range missiles.

Defense Undersecretary Fernando Manalo told The STAR a private company, Korean Aerospace, has offered to provide the fighter jets at about P18 billion, not including the munitions.

“What we are looking for is an aircraft that can be considered a fighter aircraft that can deliver missiles and other types of ammunition,” he said.

Manalo, a retired Air Force general, said the success of air defense operations does not depend solely on an aircraft’s capability.

“The capability of the pilot and the radar system are also important,” he said. “If a pilot is good, he can maneuver the plane if he engages in a dogfight.”

Manalo said the technical team is expected to submit its recommendations to defense and military officials early next month.

“The question now is when is it (FA-50) going to be certified as capable of delivering medium range missile,” he said.

“We are doing due diligence to see to it that what we are going to acquire is what we need.”

Manalo said issues need to be threshed out regarding the South Korean fighter jets.

“There are issues that we are trying to resolve, and one of the issues is the capability of the FA-50 of South Korea,” he said.

Other countries including Italy and Russia are also offering defense equipment, Manalo said.

The government is upgrading the military’s capabilities to enhance territorial defense and internal security.

On Saturday, The STAR reported that the Air Force plan to acquire fighter jets from other countries may take longer after it was decided that the procurement would be subjected to bidding instead of a government-to-government deal.

Subjecting the defense procurement to bidding would mean that Air Force pilots would have to wait longer before they can fly brand-new jets, a source said.

PH to buy 5 French patrol boats

THE government will spend P4.8 billion for the acquisition of five patrol vessels from France next year, the Philippine Coast Guard announced on Monday.

Rear Admiral Luis Tuason, Coast Guard officer-in-charge and commandant for operations, did not specify the manufacturer and class of vessels they plan to acquire, but stressed that the vessels will be brand new and French made.

“The President has ordered the procurement of additional ships for the Coast Guard,” said Tuason. “We have a forthcoming one unit 82-meter and four 24-meter long brand new patrol vessels from France.”

Tuason said the funding for the vessels will come from the Office of the President.

“We have allocation from the Office of the President that was approved already,” Tuason said. “I’m not sure about the budget but I think they will come from projects that did not push through and unused funds that were allotted for Coast Guard vessels.”

He said the four 24-meter vessels are expected to arrive by December next year while the 82-meter vessel will in 2014. “We’re still finalizing the papers,” Tuason added.

He said the vessels will be used to patrol the West Philippine Sea.

“When we patrol the West Philippine Sea, we encounter huge waves, turbulent waters so it will be better if we will use bigger ships,” said Tuason.


Is this projects different from the other boats to be acquired from Japan?

libog man ning balita oi.. AFAIK lahi ang TA-50 ug FA-50

[Coke Zero]

First ingon cla i bid out now, i review nila if TA 50 or FA 50 daw.. so it means dli diay bidding ni, change order ang mahitabo kay same company raman and different product... so akong sabot wa diay ko kasabot, akong pangagpas if FA-50 ang kuhaon which a Korean MRF najud forget F16 and others. FA-50 will be our MRF for the next 100 years....
