Air Force to buy fighter jets by 2011

That's probably enough to blast the hell out of the ASG.

That's a Hind, correct?

yep, the most iconic war chopper of the cold war :D

It's even more scary than the AH-10 and AH-64. Although it's a bit fat...

Yes, Hind Mil Mi-24.

By the way, I forgot the name of that chopper but I remembered it 'coz of Metal Gear Solid back in my Playstation days.

i dunno about you but it's either this


this



this


this


or another set of these

The KA-50/52? Do they still make those?

BTW, I vote a heavily armed UH-60 or the Mi-24. Best bang for the buck, literally. We probably don't need fighter jets for the meantime.

iirc, those are exclusive to the russian air force although they would be a sweet deal if it came in export.

another alternative would be the Mi-28 "Havoc" which would cost about. . . 826.2m petot a piece

though i am more inclined to the Mi-24/35 since a fully combat loaded UH-60 needs to get rid of the personnel compartment to make the fuel compartment bigger while the hind can fulfill both roles as a troop carrier and attack helicopter simultaneously.

It's not surprising that Mil still sells such an excellent airframe in the designation of Mi-35. as a matter of fact, it was even involved in the first helicopter to helicopter engagement in history claiming partial victory against the iranian sea cobra

Laki kasi ng P4,200,000,000,000.00 na utang ng Pinas na kailangan bayaran.
