lets be thankful sa binigay ng IDF. although kung ako gusto ko yung Nakpadon or Namer sana yung ibinigay pero its too much na yun. ^_^
siguro after 3months - 1 year makikita natin anong modifications ang magagawa ng PMC at/o army sa mga makukuha nila at gagamitin sa frontlines.
may mga mod na ginawa ang IDF sa mga m113 nila kaya sana may pondo ang APF para gayahin yung iba na akma sa atin.
syempre yung mga nandito sa metro manila malamang hindi na lalagyan ng mod since malamang 90% ng gamit is pang-parade lang naman.

even if its not rpg resistant and is flammable after an RPG hit, its still very useful since its a heck of a lot better than standing out in the open, limited ang numbers ng RPG (IED is another story) ng kalaban and lalo ata rare ang 50 cal sa kalaban. I think, not sure

Iraq has received the first 5 of 24 T-50IQ light combat aircraft it ordered from KAI of South Korea. Although designated as T-50IQ, the aircraft are actually based on the FA-50 variant. The procurement is valued at US$1.1 billion or US$45 million each.
45M USD each? So the PAF's FA-50s were cheaper at 30M USD each sir?
Because of the extent of the ILS and training package. The IQAF is rebuilding almost from scratch, training of new pilots, ground crew and maintenance crew are more extensive.

wish we could have afforded freedom class ships. Saudi bought 4, although its unclear if they bought the small, medium or large variant

there appears to actually be a good reason why European countries and even israel never adopted the A-10 or a similar aircraft, even when faced with the same threat - lots of tanks
and since the philippines does not face a tank invasion, it seems to be even more unsuitable for us -
US fast-attack submarine docks at Subic Bay
A VIRGINIA-CLASS fast-attack submarine of the US Navy arrived in Subic Bay last Tuesday as part of the Indo-Asia-Pacific deployment, the US Embassy in Manila said on Thursday.

US Navy ships have stopped over Subic Bay in recent months. The USS Texas, one of the most technologically advanced submarines in the world, is the first visitor for 2016.
“Texas conducts a multitude of missions to enhance proficiency of the submarine fleet. It is the second Virginia-class fast-attack submarine commissioned by the US and is operated by some of the Navy’s finest and most well-trained officers and enlisted personnel,” the embassy said.
Master Chief Machinist’s Daniel Kloepfer, Texas’s chief of the boat said “maintaining a forward-deployed nuclear submarine is not an easy task and Subic Bay will allow for some much deserved rest for the crew.”
Texas measures 377 feet long and weighs more than 7,800 tons when submerged. It is capable of executing missions including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface ship warfare, strike, surveillance and reconnaissance, irregular warfare, mine warfare and shallow water operations. FM -

Guys sa tingin nyo anong frigate ang mabibili sa 15 billion pesos?
thats $313 million.
FRIGATES
Absalon (Denmark)-$269 million
Bertholf National Security Cutter-$641 million
F100 Bazan (Spain)-$600 million
F105 Cristobal Colon (Spain)-$954 million
De Zeven Provincien (Netherlands)-$532 million
FREMM (Franco/Italian)-$745 million
LCS Freedom-$637 million
Holland (Netherlands)-$169 million
LCS Independence-$704 million
Iver Huitfeldt (Denmark)-$332 millon
Nansen (Norway)-$557 million
Sachsen Type 124 (Germany)-$1.06 billion
Valour MEKO A200 (South Africa)-$327 million
F-22P Zulfiquar (China/Pakistan)-$200 million

caveat on the list since it seems to be a work in progress and by an amateur. One interesting mistake is the holland class. much cheaper than the valour class frigate, same 3000+ ton displacement, but no missle launchers, and its classified as an "offshore patrol vessel"

for comparison, visby class corvette = $150m

^ ganda ng patrol boat sa taas.
yan ang kailangan natin hindi lang para sa WPS kundi pang patrol laban sa kidnapping ng ASG sa mga resorts at drug smuggling na pinapadaan sa mga karagatan natin -

Matagal na tayong merong kagaya nyan, hindi nga lang kasing hi-tech nyan. And i believe the DND is pursuing additional similar vessels.

I was about to react differently to that until I read this part:
But Duterte's willingness to engage with China does not mean he will compromise the Philippine claim over the West Philippine Sea.
He said when talking with China, he will set a “margin” he will not cross.
“I cannot talk beyond this margin. And my predicate, whether you believe it or not, I’m not forcing you to believe, what you have built there is within our territory. It is illegal," he said.
The statement was received with cheers and applause by the crowd, a gathering of entrepreneurs, students, and corporate leaders. -
