As much as I admire your patriotic spirit, it seems that we do not have the ability to control the main variables of the equation here. The government only assumes that the media blackout is a far less worse alternative than to say the truth in a whole sense. And still now, even me is part of that blackout. As I said, there's a person who has a figurative pistol on my head. |

Matagal na po yan, Sir Z. Since the chicoms started to set up installations on their claims, they've been secretly putting up SAMs, ASMs, radars, sonars, ELINTs, etc. And the chicoms ARE hellbent in "protecting" and "dying" for their claims in WPS. The question now remains: when will be the day that THEY will "cause" a reason to start the war. |

Well, as far as I know, we could equate that to the amount of time left before oil prices start to get high for the Chinese or the amount of time left for the Politburo to remain patient. |

I do not believe in a media blackout. It is best if the populace is informed of all the facts irregardless of how bleak the situation is. The truth after all is still better than being kept in the dark. I have learned through experience to never under-estimate the resolve of Filipinos and how Filipinos deal with extreme hardships. God Bless You All. It seems that all are into agreement that it is inevitable. The only question is that will the PH be ready when the time comes. |

Some people said that the people would panic and some would even take advantage of it. (The panic) |

Some people found that too hard to do, and so, they would just instead keep their mouths closed. |

![]() Source: International Defense Review 5/1994 p.10 The diagram as shown depicts the operational range/radius of the earlier SU-27s acquired by China. It shows that the aircraft flying out from Hainan can reach as far as Manila to the East, Ho Chi Minh city to the South and short of Singapore to include the northern tip of Borneo. Palawan and the KIG are not depicted but needless to say that they are covered likewise. It clearly tells us that the aircraft can provide the necessary air support for their ships either in Carburo or any shoal, reef, island in the contested area. The only limiting factor is its loiter time. Adding to this vulnerabilityi is its turn around time- take off, engage,return and land,refuel and rearm and take off again. Plus of course, pilot fatigue! I dont have to elucidate further about the reach of the latest PRC acquisition of SU-30 MKKs! Given these circumstances, our proximity- Subic for Carburo,and Purto for KIG, still gives us a distinct advantage which we can exploit! Hence our sea and air assets are two sides of the same defense coin. It becomes imperative therefore that the rate of upgrade must be on the same page. |

What is that? Combat Radius or Maximum range? Those two are different things, mind you. EDIT: I read operational range. What kind? Light ops or heavy ops? Edited by Parastriker, Aug 21 2012, 05:08 PM.
