Air Force to buy fighter jets by 2011

[kisshmet]

^ so kaya mag intercept ng jets ang P3 kung yan ang issue mo?

ah. pinoy pride :D

Kulang lang ang AFP ng gamit due to CORRUPTION but they are capable of operating even sophisticated equipments

I hope your brain can absorb that

Never under estimate the power of a .50 caliber..it was built to bring down small planes like a tucano. Surveillance mission require a plane to loiter to gather information

Can you imagine a tucano with external fuel tank and surveillance gears on its wingpods will be sluggish. Fuel tanks are sweet target for a .50 caliber machine gun because its content is volatile

A medium sized aircraft dedicated for surveillance purposes can fly higher and longer than a tucano. It will be safer to operate for battlespace surveillance purposes

Meanwhile you can maximize the effectiveness of the tucano in an attack mode. The more the better. Pulling a few tucano for surveillance duty while keeping the rest in attack mode will lessen its effectivity where it could deliver more waves of attack if we dedicate the whole fleet of tucano for attack purposes

Nagbigay na ako ng scenario on how this plane can be used in CAS and recon mode mode para sa iyo. The Tucano has 6 hardpoints, you only need to use 1 (ok 2 para balanced) for recon gear, freeing up the other 4-5 for bombs/rockets, plus it still has 2 0.50in gunpods. Even if it has expended all ammo, an unarmed plane loitering over a battlefield is still deadly as it can be an artillery spotter.

I also gave u a scenario how to maximize the attack potential of a tucano

6 tucanos utilized as attack planes supported by a medium sized recon plane which can fly much higher and could stay airborne much longer than a tucano that were flown for recon mode

Against a 2-4 split for a recon-attack mode. While you alternate 2 tucanos every 2 hours for recon, you are left with 4 attack tucanos to rotate your bombing runs

Another scenario 6 tucanos with mixed load of surveillance suites and ordnance for attack mode and external fuel tanks for extended flight makes the operation of the tucano very complicated. Surveillance flight are simple flypast run..attack run are swooping maneuver. The more load an aircraft have the more sluggish it becomes

Which scenario would win the battle much quicker?

This thread got active all because of a silly misunderstanding of the Embraer announcement of "interdiction capabilities" of the Tucano.

If you insist then P3 for CAS. haha. I rest my case.

Pabayaan mo na sir. P3 daw for CAS. Mas magaling pa sa mga planners ng AFP

Marawi conflict was resolved much sooner because the US lent us P3orion which is a dedicated surveillance aircraft.

That paved the way for the phil airforce to dedicate all its air assets (even the trainer aircrafts) to attack the mautes on the ground using the info provided by the P3orion

ASW choppers

THE WILDCATS ARE COMING FOR OUR NAVAL AVIATORS

In the Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW) role, the AW159 can be configured to carry Active Dripping Sonar (ADS), sonobuoys, and torpedoes, while for the anti-surface warfare role it can be armed with anti-ship missiles, rockets, and guns. Something our Navy would really love and the enemy sub or ship would really hate.

The Philippine Navy will receive two brand-new AgustaWestland AW-159 “Wildcat” anti-submarine helicopters, under the specifications of the contract AgustaWestland should deliver the aircraft within 730 days or two years and seventeen days from the time of the awarding. The first ASW helicopter will be delivered in 2018 while the second AW159 helicopter will be delivered in early 2019.

The PHP 5.4 billion (US $114 million) acquisition project of two anti-submarine warfare (ASW) helicopters, is sourced from the Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Trust Act Fund. A team of Naval Aviators and aircraft mechanics/specialist were sent to the UK for training starting the early months of 2017.

Once in Philippine Navy service, the AW-159s will be under the Wings of our Naval Air Group and are expected to be deployed on the two frigates on order from Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI).

They are now in the final stages of being built, And should start flight test not before too long in Leonardo's Helicopter Division, with its UK home in Yeovil,

These two AW-159 will be the most sophisticated and most expensive rotary aircraft in the AFPs inventory. They're far more expensive than our FA-50s.

yes.
i think choppers and other slower-than-jets aircraft, are better suited for our needs.
