Fly high Philippine AirForce 🇵🇭

[@arnoldilagan1659]

The PAF should fasten the acquisition of Multi role fighter jets such as the F-16 Viper or Jas-39 Gripen

[@ColoniaMurder20]

having any kind of warplanes isn't good for maintenance.

[@JEDI938]

@@ColoniaMurder20 So what do you suggest?

[@ColoniaMurder20]

[@jppychnnn]

Malaki ang backlog ng Viper. Maiksi naman ang pila sa Gripen.

Matagal pa ata yan sir. Pero sana makabili na ang pinas bago mag kagyera ang china at taiwan.😅

[@user-jbc777]

In my opinion, the effective fighter inventory for defensive and offensive posture for Philippine Air Force are: > 24 units KF 21 Boramae - starting 2027 to compete with other countries for stealth multirole > 48 units F-16V for air superiority role > 48 units FA-50 Block 20 for reconnaisance & interdiction role > 24 units JAS 39 Gripen E/F if granted by Sweden but if not 36 units of Hal Tejas Mk1 as fighter/bomber role

[@markrivera8587]

Very ambitious but doable if Marcos stay in power till the 2030s

[@user-jbc777]

@@markrivera8587 . I just saw the fighter inventory of Philippine Air Force during the time of his father late President Ferdinand Marcos Sr which can be considered a credible defense and offense posture with over a hundred units with air superiority roles, interdiction and reconnaissance roles and fighter bombers roles. Hopefully this ambitious inventory will be materialized with PBBM so that our country can gain a foothold in terms of armed forces and not relying more in the US.

[@black_sheep2520]

Wishful thinking? There is a lack of urgency in the legislature to grant more money to the afp. They're waiting for the second coming of Jesus to save them. The KF-21 is still undergoing testing, therefore, it is not combat ready. The F-16 is an outdated design. The FA-50 is not an interceptor, but 4 additional units should be under consideration as a stopgap fighter. I like 16 units of the Gripen E due to its short takeoff and landing ability if airfields were neutralized. Anti-ship and anti-aircraft batteries are more important. The Philippine archipelago should be treated as unsinkable ships bristling with missiles.

[@user-nk6dc2wk6p]

I hope we can get our Philippine friends F-35 s soon , since advanced stealth capabilities are so critical. When you can show up on the wing of an aircraft that wanders into your airspace without them even detecting you it’s a very powerful deterrent 🙂

Worth taking note that FOIP (Free and Open Indo Pacific) is also the name of Japan/Fumio Kishida's strategic project which encompasses trade deals. While the US claims that this isn't targeted at China specifically, the terminology itself is from a strategic initiative which is launched as an answer to BRI.

[@realhurts718]

AFP should make a purchase already, Jas39 or F16 are both good MRF, but in terms of more spare parts available i would go for F16, and now there are a lot of countries that are decommissioning their F16, means more available aircraft we can purchase in the future, now Jas39 are also good in terms of operational cost is much cheaper! but components are hard to get! so we need to rely on Sweden for parts! but again both are the best MRF for us, for future aircraft we can go for the New SKorean Borome or the new Turkish TAI aircraft!

Would there be chance they will creat Visayas and Mindanao Corridor? It seems that much of the benefits from the proposed investments will only benefit those who lives in the Luzon Island. I hope that the Government of the Philippines will give consideration for investments to flow to other areas of the country aswell. So that, there will be an inclusive growth and prosperity for every Filipino. And the Philippines as nation will become one of the key players for global trade in years to come.
