Philippine Navy's second revised three part modernization plan called HORIZON. Currently we are still in HORIZON ONE were PN ordered two Tarlac Class LPDs, two frigates from South Korea, two Wild Cat anti-sub warfare helicopters, eight KAAV-7, two units MPAC mk3 armed with SPIKE NLOS, UAVs, 155mm howitzers for the Marines, and other essential equipment. Oh, the Cube satellites are already operational.

PAF and PH Army has its own three part HORIZONs too. PAF is seeking SAMs and MRFs among other things, and PA is planning to acquire Shore Based ASM systems, MRLS, more APCs & IFVs, MRAPS, and MBTs in the future.

Hopefully all will go according to plan.

The AT-11G is quite clearly the largest IFV in Rahulikvigan service, it was originally designed as a heavy amphibious APC but was repurposed into an IFV after fitting a large turret with a 105mm gun and two 7.62mm machine guns. It has space for up to 30 soldiers inside, it can also carry smaller vehicles.

The Philippine navy welcomed on Wednesday a second Indonesian-made amphibious landing dock, the BRP Davao Del Sur (LD-602) as part of the military’s modernization program.

Radars and defensive weapons such as the 76mm Oto Melera Cannon, 25mm bushmaster cannons, MISTRAL SAM, and machine guns are procured separately.

Currently, PN and PT PAL are planning to procure one hospital ship and one command ship based on the Tarlac class design.

Are the skull masks significant to the unit or just a preference to each soldier?

 

[Mandirigma17]

Preference by individual soldiers specially in the special units and mechanized battalions

Title: Fighting Filipino pilot. Manila. Captain Jesus Villamor, commanding officer of the 6th Pursuit Squadron, Philippine Army Air Corps, is pictured getting out of plane after returning from a flight to Batangas Field. The youth, who leads a daredevil squadron of six Filipino pilots in erstwhile training planes who took on fifty-four Japanese air raiders over Batangas and shot down two, said he "got so mad" he forgot to be scared. One of the Filipino pilots was wounded and parachuted to safety and another was killed, Captain Villamor said, when seven Japanese planes "rode him down." He is the son of the late associate justice of the Philippine Supreme Court and trained as a pilot at Randolph and Kelly Fields
