It's just ...No need to thank me for concurring. It's just normal to concur to a sensible suggestion.<br /><br />Looking at Chaiseri's website, the company claims it's a non-chassis based vehicle. I'm not quite sure what that means, but if it means it can be applied to a different chassis, then the DND should seriously look if it can be applied to a truck model that is made in the Philippines.<br /><br />To expound further on security cooperation, stuff like joint procurement on common items can drive prices down. While there's a lot of variations in defense hardware in South East Asia, there are many things in common too. Indonesia and the Philippines are both looking for more M113 for example. Rather than two separate small orders, a single large joint order can get a better deal for both countries. Even further on there are things like joint production. The Philippines can produce some parts, a different ASEAN country another, and then each country assembles them in-house. This is already done in the automotive industry. The average Toyota truck will have parts made in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Philippines (and of course, Japan). Toyota then ships the kits to each individual country to be assembled there.<br /><br />And to answer your question regarding the SSV, I don't believe the deal includes any significant technology transfer. There are some PN observers in the PAL dockyard and they might pick up something, but judging from the budget, the deal can't possibly include any design transfer, and that's what the Philippines do not have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-17323563078146116902015-03-11T00:39:56.446+11:002015-03-11T00:39:56.446+11:00I'm amused that when there is news about US ge...I'm amused that when there is news about US getting involved with helping and assisting the AFP in the fight against terrorism, political oppositions starts getting very noisy.

And to come to think of it, we at the Philippine Marines risk our lives daily as we are the front men in almost all military operations & we get rubbish military weaponry & equipments.

With regards to the Chaiseri First Win I did mention that they do also produce commercial vehicles like the toyota fortuner hilux etc. From what I gather they designed the First Win with the knowledge they gathered from years of assembling and producing these commercial vehicles. Don't we also have a few assembly plants of the same somewhere south of manila? Even the parts were sourced from already commercially produced vehicles. Lets just say its the MRAP version of the Textron Airland Scorpion. Going on. The First Win could just be the first step. Singapore and Indonesia also have varying degrees of defence industry. Anywhere from APC's IFV's and in the case of singapore Self Propelled Guns. <br />Off topic Sir max if you could kindly answer my question the SSV's procured from PT PAL does it include technology transfer?

Those who dare to attack will bring tanks, gunships and bombers. It will not stop them.<br /><br />But some 200-300 APC will make difference in area of conflict where the enemy is not well equipped. It will speed up the ending of the conflict with victory. Plus war is unlikely happen anytime soon. This is just temporary measure until the conflict end.<br /><br />Think like Churchill that in WW2 send the entire British tank to Egypt and leave the British island without tank. He know that if Hitler invade those tank will not stop them. But on Egypt those tank can protect the Suez and thus save the British.<br /><br />Philippine that in peace should copy this. Yes, there is a risk, but how big is the risk? It's not like Philippine is in the brink of war. Nor it's allies will not come to help if war broke out. Plus hiding guerrilla soldier in foot with RPG is probably better in stopping invading force than APC.<br /><br />With all respect and sorry for my bad English.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-85758801382767117342015-03-09T18:47:46.443+11:002015-03-09T18:47:46.443+11:00There is an ongoing discussion about this on the M...There is an ongoing discussion about this on the MaxDefense @ FB page.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-90933861908330787732015-03-09T18:46:39.580+11:002015-03-09T18:46:39.580+11:00You also cannot put all your assets in one place. ...You also cannot put all your assets in one place.
