Air Force to buy fighter jets by 2011

[Isuzoom]

Agree ako dito sa Sokol...multi purpose long range attack helicopter ang kailangan natin...ang nakakatakot if gawing personal service ng mga ugok na generals and politikos.

sana nga m amaintain to hirap na hirap tayong mga taxpayers para sa ganitong equipment sana di mapabayaan..gaya ng s211.

Let's accept the fact that this country does not have the funds or money to buy new jet fighters by 2011. More so, maintaining a fleet of modern aircraft if the country still manages to purchase just a squadron. A country's armed forces are a source of national pride... unfortunately for us, we could not take pride at all for the afp...

Lets look at our neighbor:

masaya na ako kahit magka MiG-21bison man lang

That chopper looks so 1960yish... I wonder how much was "promised" someone to land the contract. Only other country that uses the Sokol other than Poland is Myanmar.

P4,200,000,000,000.00 ang Utang ng Pilipinas, at nadadagdagan everyday ng P1,000,000,000.

Saan ka kukuha ng pera bumili ng Fighter Jet?

This thread is out-of-place at the Thumbs-Up Headquarter Topics... There is nothing to rave about or be proud of. about the air force buying fighther jets by 2011. Lets be realistic, this is just an illusion or dream.

Fleet of F5s? From what i recall we only have 2 functioning F5 to retire, the other F5s acquired from the marcos regime is already retired long ago due to the lack of funds for maintenance. Naalala ko pa yung mga kuwentuhan noon na kinatatakutan tayo dahil tayo ang kauna-unahang south east asian country na may F5. Pero ngayon, we cannot even steady our claim in Sabah because malaysia has F18s. That jet can even enter our airspace and shoot down the 2 F5 we have even at long range, and oh... are our F5 even equipped with AMRAMS or even just a sidewinder missile? As what in discovery channel says, for every flying hour there is an equivalent of 4 or 5 hours of maintenance. I hope that the staff of the airforce consider this, aside from training the very few pilots they should also train a lot of mechanics.

Mas maganda nga kung ships nalang ang iinvest ng philippines for it will generate jobs in our country, the infrastructure is also in here. We are already building ships for exports in cebu as well as the korean facility in subic. Why not reonfigure that to produce frigates, missile cruisers and destroyers? And also boost our coast guard with gun boats.
