Philippine Airforce - One of the weakest in the world

[YellowSubmarine]

---

There are jets that are use for ground support such as Su 25.



We are only using OV10 Bronco(tora-tora) i guess from World War II and Huey helicopter from Vietnam War..

Poor African countries are using Hind Mi 24 from Russia..



I'm sure maka afford man ta ani.. bisan lang ug 5 ka units..

my pa A-10 nlng for ground support.. tested pa na taas ug survivability if maigo ug enemy fire pareha sa A-10 sa Iraq na la na isa ka pako pero lupad lang gyapon

Hind? hahaha.. they have a weak spot in their beHind basin ma shot down lang na sa mga rebelde they are very vulnerable because they are slow flying helicopters

If the government is just doing its job properly we wouldn't have to worry about the counterinsurgency problem in the first place.

My take is use the money you guys plan for buying planes and helos, for better education opportunities for our kids, better housing, and better and more jobs...

...just like the Bisolvon commercial...don't fight the symptoms, fight the cause/root of the problem.

I'm just saying that if di mag-usab ang pinoy hopeless jud.. asa pa d.i padulong.. we should not blame the government if we are poor but blame it on ourselves. Kung mangugi lang mo asenso man jud.. saon ang uban pobre na gani mag pabosyo pa jud nya gobyerno dayon ang basulon.. saon..

Was I "blaming" the government? When you evaluate someone's performance (i.e. try to assess if that person is doing well or not), does it automatically mean you are "blaming" the said person?

Yes, I get your point, but the way you worded your remarks, wala'y bearing on my comments. What exactly do you mean by "naa ta ana?" when in fact, that act alone is already a move by citizens to be aware of what it is that's causing the problem, because one catalyst for change is awareness. Don't tell me nga prior sa pag-state nako sa akong post, aware na ang majority of people in these boards, about my take on where the money should be spent?

No I didn't say you did..

The money should be spent on where it should be spent.. if there's a budget for buying new aircraft why not buy them(that is if naa pay mapuga)

Agreed. Thing is, chances are, knowing the state of our economy and government, wala lagi budget for effective a/c. Which brings us back again to the reasons why I still think it's more appropriate to allocate the money on other needs.

Ironically, I'm a big fan of both civil and military aviation (I'm a flight sim enthusiast), but my sources from the Philippine aviation world, both in the civil and military spheres, are painting a rather grim story about the state of things in PAF. Which is why (again) I believe the money could be better spent somewhere else.

lolz!

mura wa man sad ta kontra nga laing nasud maong wa kaayo nila ni e prioritize ang pag modernized sa PAF or AFP for that matter.. besides, we can always utilize those run-me-downs from US and other nations nga nag upgrade na... ok paman na ang mga Hueys og C130s nila.. hihi

murag hapit na nahurot ug ka crash ang Hueys..

then usa ka C130 this year..
