camiar Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 (edited) bumili na rin sana ng MANPADS for the new ship if hindi pa kayang lagyan ng mounted surface-air-missile system. mas mura un, portable pa. One of the lessons they learned from the Falklands War was that Manpads were ineffective as ship's air defense weapons. Edited September 4, 2011 by camiar Quote Link to comment
red60 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Income from the Malampaya Oil Field would be more than sufficient to cover the M.O.O.E. of the BRP GDP and the 2 other Hamiltons to be procured. This is assuming that all income from MOF will be funneled to the military modernization program but there are other sectors that badly needs funding.

zenislev Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 This is assuming that all income from MOF will be funneled to the military modernization program but there are other sectors that badly needs funding. The other sectors already have their funds, it is just in the conscience of the people who are running that sector. Quote Link to comment
ianlone81 Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I agree with zenislev...they all have their own fundings but kept on complaining specially those "party-list congressmen/women's". Its just a matter of good conscience to spend the budget. As for me i favor a high budget on AFP to shoot up its modernization program...as i've observed, countries with modern forces has more investments from outside than countries like us. We are being bullied by neighbors yet all our politicians waste more time and money or should i say pocket more. It's up to us ordinary citizen's to act before it's too late. I dont like This country to be occupied again by invader's. Quote Link to comment

heatseeker0714 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 (edited) The AFP is now on the move with regard to the bidding of Choppers for the Naval Air Group... They are currently planning to buy 2 Choppers with an option for 1 more in the near future... said 2 Choppers are gonna be assigned to the BRP GDP and the upcoming 2nd Hamilton Class Cutter due to arrive on or around the first 6 months of 2012... the 3rd Chopper which is an option would be for the 3rd Hamilton Class Cutter.... Scuttlebut is, said bidding is a collaboration between the DND and DOTC.... With the DOTC also interested to buy Choppers for the four (4) 56 Meter SARVs of the Philippine Coast Guard... 1 each to be assigned to the following PCG Ships... SARV 001 BRP San Juan, SARV 002 BRP EDSA II, SARV 003 BRP Pampanga & SARV 004 BRP Batangas.... looks like one of the components of Abnoy's Sona promises that will be realized... government agencies working together with regard to their needs so that they can buy in bulk to get discounts... Scuttlebut also is that the Philippine Navy Naval Air Group and Philippine Coast Guard Air Group has the hots for the EC 645, the Armed Version of the UH-72 Lakota Choppers the US Army is currently using... said bird, the UH-72 is slowly replacing the aging fleet of UH-1 Huey and OH-58 Kiowa of the US Army....

What did the scuttlebutt say about the weapons fit? Will there be Anti-ship and Anti-submarine missile system to be fitted? Do they require over-the-horizon targeting? Form what I know, helos are used as part of stand-off targetting system. What use would the helicopters be if the Hamiltons don't have missile systems? Why is there so much obsession on the procurement of choppers? Toys for the big boys? Baka naman gagamitin sa 2013 elections? Quote Link to comment

Baka naman gagamitin sa 2013 elections? no idea with regard to the weapons fit but I think it would be safe to assume if it would be EC 645s there would be at least a GPMG which would fit the choppers primary function of patrolling the waters of the WPS along with its mother ship. Primary and secondary functions of the choppers would be: -Showing the Flag ops (Immediate dispatch from the mother ship to make "Sita" to any vessel that would stray into the WPS without prior permission. -Search and Rescue -Shipboard transfers when the small rubber boats of the mother ship can't handle the weather. -Patrol of the WPS areas that can't be covered by the mothership immediately... -Maritime Law Enforcement me hopes we get the SH-60 Seahawk which can be fitted with torpedoes and missiles, pero i think our budget can't handle it.... there's so much obsession with regard to the procurement of the Shipboard Choppers because it greatly enhances the capabilities of the mothership it would be assigned to...

zenislev Posted November 13, 2011 Share Posted November 13, 2011 another US Cutter is under way to be bought, if it will be purchased, it will be turned over to us early next year. Quote Link to comment
Guest nick fury Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 another US Cutter is under way to be bought, if it will be purchased, it will be turned over to us early next year.It would definitely be much better if it were a Nimitz-class super carrier but our budget couldn't take it.
