Back to the Gumdoksuri then! Any suggestions on what aircraft or missiles that can be fitted on our current aircraft can we buy? |

Much better to acquire newer assets than the "US Cyclone" and we don't want to be limited, we should have the freedom to buy and get what we want....? better not US! |

I agree, we should buy more ships outside the US. And besides I just found out that the average lifespan of one is just approximately 15 yrs. so...

If you think about it.... The Gumdoksuri doesn't have ASW Capability but has Missiles, but made me think about what happened to "Cheonan Sinking" of SOKORS....?!!! WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN TO OUR PN!!!! Considering CHICOMS and others have lots of SuBS!!! No chance of us knowing who did it????? BETTER with ASW Capability! Knud Rasmussen! x2 will be a big step forward LET'S HOPE THEY WILL CONSIDER Something like this!!! Bigger and Better escort for future MRV!!! :thumb: I can smell "SEMI BLUE WATER" in the Horizon!!!

Maybe we could buy some dedicated ASW corvettes(or better yet, frigates) through the modernization fund itself since were more concerned about chinese boats harassing EVERY-FREAKING-BODY IMHO we should buy more fast crafts with at least some anti ship capabilities.:ssalute:And besides, the ChiComs maybe A-holes but they arent as crazy as the NOKORS

If they are crazy enough to bully us and occupy Mischief Reef Island in kalayaan and "Bully us within our EEZ territory, and don't forget how they massacred unarmed Vietnamese Sailors re; Spratley issues! Not crazy to you???? This is separate program of P.Noy to safeguard our interests in Palawan area and to increase our PN's Capabilities in Protecting our Investments and Areas of responsivility, it's different from the AFP Modernization Program I believe...... |

I smell something different about this issue...... Why this urgent? and not through the AFP Modernization program? The unsuccessful negotiations for Filipinos on Death Row in China, Harassment of PH Survey ship in Reed Bank, China's warning re; on oil explorations of our Government, If my I Source is right..... This is preparing and responding to a possible future threat! of course they will never Divulge anything like this in the media... It will create caos!

Like I said, not as crazy as NoKors. I have neither seen nor heard news yet of the chinks bombing a Philippine jet liner, or trying to assassinate the president or blowing up a Philippine ship. China has changed, they know everybody feels threatened by them and they want to play down those fears. Especially now when the US is getting more and more paranoid about the Chinese threat and India is fast becoming a key player in the Asian region. They want to give an impression of being a peaceful country (not working here) while still maintaining their image of having a powerful military. Hence, the harassment of our research ship and the fortifications on their islands. They wouldn't be stupid enough to initiate an act of war, even against us, because all hell will break loose AFAIK. That's why IMO we need more fast crafts and OPVs rather than subs and big ships from those 8 billion pesos alloted to the Spratly's. Still does not make me approve of the Hamilton though. :thumb: |

I'm for the. "Knud Rasmussen"( x 1) and Gumdoksuri (PKG-B) (x 2) for the PN! It's time for us to acquire ships with Missile and ASW Capability. Just imagine how it looks.... (1) Knud Rasmussen and (2) Gumdoksuri PKG-B escorting our MRV! ![]() On the other hand it would be a bit odd to use a $50M USD Knud Rasmussen to escort a $37.5M USD Makassar class landing platform dock (MRV).....
