If products they have sold another country is poorly maintained and crashes or malfunction it will not give a good impression and may break future sales. Also, grants from the US does not just look at our ability to pay, they also have another gauge when selling, the country's corruption and human rights, track record. They only sell to those who have good track record, they do not want their products being used for personal purposes by corrupt government personnel or used to support activities that violates human rights.onetwelvehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444121168597491224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-41221803165261941292015-01-24T05:00:57.896+11:002015-01-24T05:00:57.896+11:00That nicky guy is the same lao troll from other fo...That nicky guy is the same lao troll from other forum who squabbles his so called defense expertise with regards to PI. never ending tirade against our military and pinoys as a whole.

How about air warfare? I think the primary purpose of C295 is for surveillance. Is like that what you mentioned mentioned capability of C295 upgrade is can carry a lot of capability. Is this will not compromise the aerodynamics integrity of aircraft and also its radar signature. Remember the technology in airwarfare today they could detect you in long range with with long range missile threats with low radar signature. When designing the capability it must be specific not generic. Look on low orbitting satellites in west philippine sea as part of air space warfare threats.

Bell 412 is a proven design used by many organizations all over the world, both military and civilian. Turning into a CUH is a matter of adding extra equipment without having to redesign the structure. The price is acceptable. Plenty of civilian users make it easier to get common spare parts. It has up-to-date avionics. It has a wide door, making easier for troops to egress and ingress. The engine is reliable and easy to maintain. All things considered, this seems to me like a sensible choice.<br /><br />Again, I have no idea where you got the number 100 or what it means. There are over 800 Bell 412 of various types and more are being built even today.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3838050795464426329.post-47973369430091250782014-03-20T02:30:59.535+11:002014-03-20T02:30:59.535+11:00Hi Sir Max, the 8 new Sokols Have been moved to SA...Hi Sir Max, the 8 new Sokols Have been moved to SAR and again the new CUH will be for SAR?
