Palawan is so close to those disputed isles and islands that it serves as our own immovable aircraft carrier... It would be air power that would win us that day if push comes to shove in this game... Chinese ships wont stand a chance if swarmed by numerous fighters firing anti ship missiles at them and they don't have the airpower to linger in that area... IT'S JUST TO FAR AWAY FROM THEM... so never mind the ships, we have to develop air power to blow them out of the water, our advantage is that we are closer to those islands than them... we have to concentrate our efforts, energies and finances in acquiring long range combat aircraft like the F18 and F15... The F18 for striking their ships and the F15 for air domination in the area of conflict... a minimum of 5 squadrons of F18 super hornets and 2 squadrons of F15 would be credible enough to make them think twice of venturing in our waters... it would be painful for our pockets but it is a pain we have to endure... AIR POWER is the answer to a sea problem if you are closer to the problem than your adversary...

Th...What PH wants, they will never get in a decade. They want a creditable National defense, but the way China is buying and spending on Military hardware. Makes you wonder why PH doesn't give a damn about their Military. Even your close neighbors such as Taiwan, Vietnam and Indonesia have Militaries that can at least stand up to China. Look at Vietnam for instance, they are getting Russian Kilo SSKs and brand new Frigates. Taiwan has the Kidd class DDG's that can withstand China. Indonesia has brand new submarines. What dose PH has, Nothing, but hand me downs from America, that will never stand up to China. What the PH has is the worlds broken military and a corrupt political system. I have often said this, the PH need to suck it up and go to Russia to buy military hardware. Even a MIG-29 or MIG-35 would give the PH a creditable Air Defense and a multi role fighter to defend the Airspace.For AEW, I would go for a Saab 340 AEW&C for Airborne control. A Russian S-300 or S-400 would give the PH a viable Air defence umbrella. On top of that a good frigate from Russia such as the one they built for India such as the Talwar class frigate, or the Gepard class Frigate. Even for Corvettes, the Russian Steregushchy-class corvette would be a viable choice for you guys. For Submarines, I would look to Russia for Kilo Class SSK. Even for Patrol boats, See if you can get a used Island class Patrol boats from the USCG. For Amphibious, look at buying the Endurance class LPD in the same configuration that the Royal Thai navy has. For helicopters, look at getting an MI-17 and Mi-24 or MI-35. Even for CAS, ya should be replacing your OV-10's with A-29 Super Tucano's. The fact that you guys a decade late and a billion dollar short when it comes to building a creditable military to stand up to China. By the time China has a fully functioning and sailing Aircraft carrier & carrier battle group, it will be too late for PH to defend themselves and by then it will be GAME over. Taiwan knows this, Vietnam knows this, Japan knows this and even South Korea knows this. Which is why they are building up to defend against China, while you guys play fantasy to corrupt politicians.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318590507921043958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-4624226143023879842013-06-15T18:14:20.923+10:002013-06-15T18:14:20.923+10:00The best thing to do is to do nothing...

Now that China is growing more bolder with their military, PH is starting to realize that their Military is so weak and so broken down that it can't even defend it's own EEZ or Airspace. Ya are living in a pipedream or fantasy. IMO, it's going to take the PH a decade for them to rebuild the PH Military in the face of China. They simply need to Fire all the Corrupt leaders and put in the ones who will defend and modernize the PH military. Simply buying US is not good enough because the US is simply giving you hand me downs. I have suggested going to Russia and India for Ships, Aircraft, Submarines and weapons. They are quick to grab and quick to bring up. People in PH still want US gear when they are giving you hand me downs, shows that you really don't care about defending your own EEZ or Airspace. If you really cared, you could have gone to Russia for a used Multi role fighters such MIG-29, Su-27 or India's LCA. For ships, ya could have gotten a good Frigate, Corvette and Submarine from Russia and South Korea. Even an LPD from Singapore as well. Sad to say, the PH Military is the worse military on earth and doesn't have the capability to defend it's Airspace and EEZ.Nickyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15318590507921043958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-3348081780599068942013-06-14T22:21:53.431+10:002013-06-14T22:21:53.431+10:00Shoot all poachersShoot all poachersAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-9725685442409630132013-06-14T21:12:27.293+10:002013-06-14T21:12:27.293+10:00I agree with MaxDefense I believe that is too late...I agree with MaxDefense I believe that is too late, one reason is that PH wasted 9yrs with the corrupt previous administration that did not prioritize the modernization of AFP and the Spratly and other disputed island, another is if the PH renewed its basing agreement with the US in the 90's we would not have this problem, and the US is short changing the PH in support, what's the use of US designating the Philippines as a "Major Non-Nato Ally" when benefits of being designated a Major Non-Nato Ally is being attain by the Philippines like "priority delivery of military surplus" while they only thing they are offering us are the ill equipped Hamilton cutters and where's "possession of War Reserve Stocks of DoD-owned equipment that are kept outside of American military bases"?

Just wait until China starts sailing their Aircraft Carrier the Liaoning around the Philippines EEZ. That alone should scare the crap out of you guys into a massive military buying spree. Even Vietnam knew about it and brought Russia Kilo SSK submarines to defend against it. Even every Asian pacific Navy knew in the back of their minds, that China would eventually get into the Aircraft carrier game. That's why you Philippines are a decade late and a billion dollar short on building a creditable national defense. Sad to say your political corruption is going to be your downfall and the reason why China will be able to use their military to bully you guys.
