Ive been following ur blog and research ...Sir Max,<br /><br />Ive been following ur blog and research for sometime now and I should say its very informative, my work is within the defense community and also involved with the PCGA. I have followed your discussion on the Philippines quest for MBT's and I would like to add that during the Korean War we sent 17 M4A2 Sherman Tanks and 1 M10 Wolverine Tank Destroyer ahead of our troops-the famed PEFTOK as our early contribution to the Korean conflict. <br /><br />In my opinion,MBTs would be usable here in Luzon area if we re-built or reconstruct our bridges for them to be capable of holding the MBTs. Thank You for your analysis and great research.Chickenhawknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-45854173866098146442013-10-26T15:16:40.989+11:002013-10-26T15:16:40.989+11:00max, just want to thank you for all of the posts! ...max, just want to thank you for all of the posts!

When you write I read between the lines...Dear Max.<br /><br />When you write I read between the lines the fire of your being a patriotic citizen. For how can you come up with this great idea (Maxdefense) if not for your love of our country? I Hope Max you can collaborate (if not yet) with the National Defense College of the Philippines (NDCP).Your research are great and informative. You can even be one of the professors of NDCP. I'm part of the recent graduates of the 18th Executive Course on National Security offered by the NDCP. The best if you could be among the professors there, specially on NDCP's MNSA program.<br /><br />We're one with you max in our quest for a sovereign and not a patsy country. In fact I'm even entertaining the idea that if the PH has problems for cash to buy naval ships and armaments, why not engage private corporations? What is 5 billion pesos to globe or PLDT/Smart. We buy one frigate, courtesy of smart/pldt and rename the ship as BRP Smart Ninoy Aquino, as endorsement? Or BRP Globe Cory Aquino?<br />Anyway we have this public-private partnership (PPP) for infra project, why not involved the private sector companies in protecting our maritme domain? Say PLDT-Smart protection for a sovereign nation? Whats ur take sir max? Thank you Lord, at my isang pinoy na max montero.May ur tribe increase!

All these are speculations, but since it came from STRATFOR's big man, it will be accepted than those made by nobodies. But the future is still out there, anything can happen.<br />max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-62383122032453650642013-07-28T05:00:27.766+10:002013-07-28T05:00:27.766+10:00Hey Max,

He is the founder and CEO of Stratfor. He's also one of the first to predict China's economic "crash". As we are starting to see now. Definitely an interesting read. <br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zpAkT5YnpEA<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-33793136642304349212013-07-22T16:01:41.849+10:002013-07-22T16:01:41.849+10:00Max, regarding the PAF attack helicopters...I real...Max, regarding the PAF attack helicopters...I really think AW is going to offer the AW109 LUH not the W3 Gluszec contrary to what a lot of people are saying in forums, FB and what not.<br /><br />if you study the DND bulletin, the requirements point to AW109 LUH as the next AHAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-71197021293772811652013-07-15T10:18:37.928+10:002013-07-15T10:18:37.928+10:00Greetings Max.

It seems to me that the sensor and weapons mix of this Korean design plus its cost is an optimum for the present Philippine Navy financing situation. Also do you have an professional opinion as the possiblity of a negotiated deal with the South Koreans to have one Incheon Class Frigate built in South Korea and another to be built at the new Austal Ship Building Yard in West Cebu, Philippine. This would be good for the strengthening of the Philippines as a true "maritime" nation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-26890597713049519262013-07-13T00:53:31.915+10:002013-07-13T00:53:31.915+10:00Hi Max, there's some news about the acquisitio...Hi Max, there's some news about the acquisition of 8 attack helicopters. do you have any idea what are the possible models we are getting?

The news...There are no plans to get the Maestrales. The news you see all around are from erroneous understanding of what DND's USec. Manalo was saying. He mistakenly used the word "Maestrale" instead of the word "frigate". The same interview already revealed that the PN would probably get a consultant to help create the specifications for the ship before a bidding will take place. So it only shows that there is no definite model or supplier yet for the frigate.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.com
