[æRLO]

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".

naa man jud diplomatic relations if there are transactions. And the PAF got the Sokols directly from Poland. I'd have to say Polish-Filipino relations are "lukewarm" at the least.

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.

who ever said these are "attack helicopters"..
these are C.U.H in other words para dili ka ma ignorante - Combat Utility Helicopters.

our sokol is the W-3A variant whereas the attack variant is W-3WA.. actually if you had done more research you can even
find it in wiki.. here: PZL W-3 Sokó

klaro kaayo ai igo ra ni ninghitch ug kalit sa thread. bisan ni back read lang unta ka ug pila ka pages dili pud ka mahulog ani ka misinformed.

BESIDES...kani nga pictures kay pag transport sa SOKOLS ra pud intawon oi. Even if the SOKOLS we got were for attack use, why the f**k would you equip its armaments while its not in use and just being transported?? Imo ra gina increase ang risk nga maguba siya nga wala pa gani siya ka abot sa iya destination.
