But they prefferred the tracked vehicle which is the BMP 3F because of its lethal weapons and its amphibious capable. And yes your right max their are following the indonesian marines standard of amphibious operations since they acquire the SSV also known as the MAKASSAR class.

Lets take this example: you go to a Toyota display booth at a mall and look at the new 86. The salesman may think that you are interested in it even if you just looked around it. <br /><br />The Eurosatory is a land weapons system sales exhibition and the Philippines sent its representatives to take a look. It may be possible that the delegation went to the BMP-3 booth to take a look and ask some questions, but the Russian salesman assumed immediately that the PH is interested in the BMP-3. <br /><br />I am not saying that this is impossible, but the Russians have been like this before, like in the case of the Yak-130.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-46207990024866266192014-06-18T22:11:09.191+10:002014-06-18T22:11:09.191+10:00i hope this armored personnal carrier will be fitt...i hope this armored personnal carrier will be fitted also with remote weapon system on its turrets and has night vision capabilities for night operationsAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-421780277494847412014-06-11T14:15:28.147+10:002014-06-11T14:15:28.147+10:00Hi!!!

Since PMC are looking for more amphibious wheeled or tracked vehicles we have to be self reliant, we can use the SUBIC facilities then as the one used for the site for our indigenous SIMBA design armored vehicles like for cheaper av6-8 by fnss pars or ukraine btr90 with bmp3 turrets or cage cadillac v600...these are the most suitable armoured vehicles for our terrain archipelago.

God-forbid if we just might enter a war for the Spratlys then a beachhead landing would be required. Marines can do the job and tracked amphibious landing vehicles can carry them to safety with a small cannon and grenade for fire support. Hopefully frigates would be available by that time and would provide fire support to their landing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294454832981647009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-62965230499649870292014-06-02T20:59:27.149+10:002014-06-02T20:59:27.149+10:00in the end its all go down to price tag which you ...in the end its all go down to price tag which you forget to state.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-44141944974531413422014-06-02T18:12:36.377+10:002014-06-02T18:12:36.377+10:00The requirement calls for something like the AAV7,...The requirement calls for something like the AAV7, although it's still worth looking if future requirements of the PMC may look at something like the Ukrainian BTR-3.max monterohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16217644456257635987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-67701242440132174522014-06-02T17:28:52.785+10:002014-06-02T17:28:52.785+10:00To answer your question, New Units + Less maintena...To answer your question, New Units + Less maintenance=Less Cost.
