THE PHILIPPINE ARMY ALLOTED 280+ MILLION PESOS TO BUY ANTI-TANK LAUNCHERS AND GUIDED MISSILES.
The Philippine Army has announced a significant step forward in enhancing its anti-tank warfare capabilities. With a budget allocation of Php208,333,000.00, the Army is set to procure a limited number of anti-tank missile launchers through a public bidding process. This acquisition aims to facilitate familiarization and training, preparing the force for larger-scale procurements in the future.
Specifications and Requirements
The technical specifications for the missile systems underscore the Army's commitment to advanced and effective anti-tank solutions. The required features include:
Top Attack Capability: This allows the missile to strike the more vulnerable upper sections of armored vehicles.
Range: A minimum effective range of 2000 meters, ensuring engagement at safe distances.
Infra-red Seeker: For target acquisition in various visibility conditions.
Infra-red Homing Fire-and-Forget Guidance System: Enabling the missile to independently track and engage targets after launch, reducing operator workload and exposure.
Potential Contenders
In the world of anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), a few notable systems stand out that meet these criteria. The Javelin from the United States and the Spike MR from Israel are well-known for their reliability and effectiveness. However, South Korea's Raybolt is also a strong contender, particularly in terms of cost-effectiveness.
Javelin: Renowned for its fire-and-forget capability and top-attack mode, the Javelin has seen extensive use by various armed forces worldwide. Its advanced targeting system and proven battlefield performance make it a prime candidate.
Spike MR: This medium-range version of the Spike family offers similar capabilities, with added versatility and proven effectiveness. The Spike MR's adaptability and ease of use are significant advantages.
Raybolt: South Korea's Raybolt is emerging as a cost-effective yet capable system. It meets the required specifications and has the added benefit of potentially lower procurement costs, making it a strong competitor in the bidding process.

Having jungle terrain, It's more effective to have more APC each carrying manned anti tank launcher than a heavy Battle tank.

[@MonkeyDZuki]

I think, the planned MBT Tank acuisition is not meant for our Jungle terrains, or Jungle Warfare, but for Urban terrain in an Urban warfare situations... And External threats as well.... So a jungle terrain is not a problem..... In acquiring MBT TANKS....

[@RickySy-b1s]

Saan gagamitin anti-tank missiles? We are an island nation so invaders will not use tanks but ships and planes. Thus our defense needs are anti ship and anti plane missiles.😂

[@filipinews22]

Dahil possible pa rin ang ground invasion at need ng Army ng ATGMs against tank, IFVs, APCs and other armored vehicles.

[@JohnBenedictuyReyes]

You must be a "newbie" military/defense enthusiast to make that kind of "sweeping statement." If you are then it's completely understandable. If a potential invader wants to rule over your land, then they'll have to use tanks. The japs did that here in WW2, using light & medium tanks.

bakit boss, wla bang patag ka na nilalakaran or kong may sasakyan ka na dinadaanan?? kailagan padin natin ang anti tank, hand carry manga yan ndi.
