PAF to Acquire Fighter Jets from Korea

[Yatta]

The thing about fighter planes...don't you need to have some sort of control center that handles battle info. -- eg if something violated PH airspace, how many and what type, etc? Do we have one in place already? Or else useless yung tech sa F-15s/16s

Awarded na yata yung contract for 3 air defense and surveillance radars sa Israeli IAI-Elta Systems last January.

For CAS i think effective pa rin yung guns. Pag vs fighter e yun ang malabo

[JohnM]

Missiles can be spoofed or decoyed. A bullet is a bullet. Kaya even the latest stealth fighters have guns



Pero iba pa rin ang Warthog

During marcos era, PAF are the most advanced jet trainer, fighter aircraft. Tapos ngyon naiwan na tayo because of corruption

the 25 S211 jet trainers were acquired in the late 1980s and early 1990s. the contract was signed during the time of president Cory Aquino.

the sf260 aircraft presently operating are no longer the ones bought in the 1970s and 80s. the older ones were bought in the 1970s, the next batch under Cory and Ramos. the latest 18 new SF260TP were bought in 2011 by the present administration.

the same is true for the sokol helicopters. recent purchases lang yan, with the contract signed during the time of pres Gloria Arroyo and the 8 aircraft (less 1, crashed and undergoing repairs) were delivered in 2011.

If we were so advanced during marcos then we should have F16s and F15s in our inventory but the best we got from the americans were F5s despite 2 bases we hosted

In fact the americans refused to provide marcos F16s & F15s due to human rights concern

[Yatta]

^I think the more likely reason was the rampant corruption. Too much risk of advanced weapons falling into opfor hands. Kung human rights ang issue, not likely since they already heavily support Indonesia, Chile, Argentina, etc.

[kisshmet]

^corruption is very much rampant in all the countries you mentioned and i believe only indonesia got americas 4th generation fighters (f16)

There must be something the americans need from indonesia thats why they are keen in overriding their human rights concern with sukarno

The argentinians got skyhawk which is basically an old generation jet technology from the americans

I dont have much info about chileans

I'm under the impression these countries paid for their aircraft. I'm sure the US will sell more advanced aircraft to the PH if the latter can afford them.

Look at Singapore. I guess that country bought a bunch of F-15s and now have a permanent presence here for live-fire training.

we were offered the F16 a long time ago when the US congress stopped the sale of 60 F16s to Pakistan. The price, $5.5B for the 60 units, was too high. we could not even afford half a squadron.

F16... panahon pa ni tomas cruz at Top Gun yan...! how time flies...

[yebo]

they are looking now at purchasing either the F16V "Viper" or the SAAB JAS 39 Gripen.
sana may budget.
at sana every year may allocation after, kahit 4 units per year lang.
