AFP Modernization in Full Swing

[Bentleys]

---

that depends on which part of our coast and boundaries we are talking...

All parts should do.

All parts should do.

Western Command, a potential regional flashpoint between nation
East Command, basicly the pacific ocean so far we rarely have problems in this part since this facing towards guam
North Command, some chinese excursion but not as volatile as the western command
South Command, piracy, terrorism... back door

how the afp deal with this? "Coast Watch" after the sipadan hostage incident afp had been putting Coast Watch installation to detect foreign excursion, now this is just a piece of the puzzle... the next part is the capability upgrade...

the assumption of most of us here is that AFP are capable to wage war... will hate to burst your bubble AFP direction is not offensive but rather defensive... they are two separate strategy... so we dont need to jump to the latest generation of hardware... and interim would do the trick while preparing for the modern hardware....

AFP may not be capable to defend territory beyond the main territory... but we are more capable to defend the main land

PZL-Świdnik Completes the Delivery of Sokol Helicopters to the Philippine Air Force from Lublin Airport

PZL-Swidnik, an AgustaWestland company, is pleased to announce that the last two of eight Sokol helicopters have been delivered to the Philippine Air Force. The Sokols were transported from Lublin Airport to Clark Air Base near Manila on board an An-124 Ruslan large cargo airplane. The two Sokol helicopters follow the six aircraft delivered to the customer last year. This is the result of a contract signed in 2010, which included eight Sokols.

“It gives me a great pleasure to complete the handover of the Sokol helicopters produced in Świdnik to the customer. The delivery from Lublin Airport is an important milestone and for sure in the future we’ll cooperate further with Lublin Airport in connection with PZL-Świdnik operations”, said Nicola Bianco, Managing Director, PZL-Świdnik S.A.

Thanks for the updates ani sir. The more updates you sent, it would help me ease my mind in thinking na makaya nato e-defend atong country! Hehehehe... I alwas have faith in our Military, bisan usahay kuwang sa kagamitan, but I think sa karon, hinay hinay na na realize sa tong gobyerna no na kinahanglan pud nato pansinon atong Military equipments, kay in case og naay invasion, maka defend ta. I'm always looking at this thread for updates.

By the eay mga master, do we have diplomatic relations with Russian Government in terms of Military aspects? Or this is just "business as usual".

The Sokols didn't come from Russia.
