i read before that there are lease aircraft station in palawan this are fighter jets. so hope its true,,
but for now better focus on internal security, COIN planes are needed, hope cobra acquisition will push through..it would be nice..

Yes, naay "fighters" sa Palawan to guard the Spratlys. These so-called fighters are S211s, originally used to train pilots. Any Airbus or Boeing airliner can easily outrun an S211. Aerial interception of Chinese or Vietnamese fighters is nearly impossible.

because we are an achepelago and mostly mountains the PAF is more in need of attack helicopters rather than fighter jets, tho we need also jets for border patrols, just a few jets and more helicopters lang sa..

ive read sometime ago this quoted from a retired US military consultant, who is now living here in the philippines with his filipina wife, as his assesment because our geography is composed of mostly islands and lots of mountains, the best and a cheaper defensive solution is to set up anti-aircraft batteries over the mountains in stategic locations, any invading planes (god forbid) most negotiate the mountainous terrain of the philipines before reaching its target, by doing so, anti aircraft batteries will sting them, as they move through the mountains..he said...

Anti-aircraft batteries alone have never defeated an attacking aerial force determined enough to get to its target. Intelligence and tactics can defeat the best-laid AA batteries. Look at the lessons of Vietnam and Iraq.

By the way, I like your avatar.
