our 1st lot of PAF Sokol helicopters have arrived, 4 more scheduled for delivery..pero dili heavily armed kay combat utility chopper ra man ni

its expected na walay armaments na kay mao man jud na gisabotan sauna pa nga combat utility type lang na SOKOL..

a C-130 Hercules aircraft is being refurbished at Clark now, and another 1 will be flying in from the US so madungagan atong C-130 of which 1 ra ang operational as of the moment. 2 more are grounded, and PAF is seeking to acquire 1 more C-130H.

8 ra man ang on order..di ba nag plano man to sila ug acquire ug attack helicopters aside from these combat utility choppers? Same supplier aning Sokol pero na cancel ang contract kay overpriced

[chris_bern]

kadto panahon ni gloria arroyo mupalit unta tag cobra helicopter para naa ta attack helicopters to fight in dense jungles.. pero ang PAF nag decide man na its more useful if they will just purchase Utility helicopters kay dili lang pang combat ang gamit nga helicopter. pang rescue missions ug sending of relief aids sad.

about sa attack helicopters na gikan pud sa supplier sa sokol wala ko idea ato. maybe other forumers here knows more about it.

I wonder if this will affect the acquisition of the aforementioned military hardware.

Aquino hosted the dinner for Arizona Senator John McCain, the leader of the US delegation and defeated rival of President Barack Obama, went to the palace with Joseph Lieberman (Connecticut), Sheldon Whitehouse (Rhode Island) and Kelly Ayotte (New Hampshire). But Aquino had to leave the dinner right away because he had to go to another meeting elsewhere in Malacañang— with the members of the House panel that is prosecuting the case against Corona.

The American senators were at a loss to explain Aquino’s sudden departure right after dinner started. And they had planned on discussing weighty matters with Aquino, including the controversial landing rights of visiting US forces in Mindanao, the tension in the Spratly Islands and Manila’s requests for more military hardware, among other things.

I really hope not.
