Helicopters can also provide that but in the case of the AFP that would not be usual. They have been using 155mm for quite some time already (since 1970s) and getting more 155mm (either towed or self propelled) has been in their plans for a long time now. Its more about capability upgrade rather than new ways to provide direction to artillery.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-87059240972240020672013-07-26T21:48:03.249+10:002013-07-26T21:48:03.249+10:00The PA had the M114 155mm howitzers since the earl...The PA had the M114 155mm howitzers since the early 1970s, but they are still kept well until now. The Soltams are also reportedly still in good condition so I'm not sure on what you saw, maybe they were old artillery pieces from WW2?max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-30016008618533268652013-07-11T01:08:35.869+10:002013-07-11T01:08:35.869+10:00Max, do you think there is a correlation between t...Max, do you think there is a correlation between the planned Atmos 2000 purchase of these 155mm's and the 8 attack helicopters? The Americans uses the Kiowa Warriors OH-58D's to direct or illuminate guided munitions like the Copperhead or similar for precision attack and bombardment. That could be good in places such as Sulu to minimize collateral damage instead of just simply lobbing them on a potential target. Or we are not in that stage yet? The Recon heli's can serve as light attack also to support the ground troops. Anyway, we can't afford a full pledge AH so a Recon/light AH with a cost hovering around $10m could meet the requirements except it has only single engine but a proven performer. Thank for your blog. You've been a positive force and a good one at that.

That is the first time that I see it, was in early 90's, while jogging inside Camp Aguinaldo, I saw it again for the second time, rotting at vehicle graveyard at Logistics Command. I just can't remember the year that I saw these the first time, but I am sure it is earlier than 1980. Can you confirm if It is Soltam or did PA took an earlier delivery, maybe as early as 1975?
