300K only? If ever the Philippines will buy that, it would be definitely higher than 300k

300k plus 50% percent commision :fire: That is my lower end estimate. :headbang:

max 70kms...Israel originally designed this as an anti-Katyusha rocket missile but could now also intercept Hezbollah's Fajr and Zilzal missiles.

A few batteries of the Stunner in KIG and Palawan could give second thoughts to other claimants.

The missile/launch system itself is relatively cheap compared to other systems (Patriot reportedly costs $1 million per missile) but needs a really good radar system to achieve successful kill ratios.

In Israel, the Stunner is just part of the Magic Wand air-defense system.

Still, this could be a viable option for RPs first air-defense missile system.

Nice.

If its by Israel, it must be good. I think the AFP should really take a look at the Stunner, with the improving Peso-Dollar rate, we could probably afford a few batteries in the next year or two.

Time to put some in Pag-asa Island, what do you think?

why not? :thumb:

This is not true. The majority of Timawans are still ordinary civilians.

This is a forum where everybody can share and learn

Are you an expert with "know how" on everything with regards to military matters???

Try to search the entire forum and you will find many interesting topics with many members posting intelligently., including those real military expert who also happen to be a member of this forum.

Mag search ka muna at magbasa ng konti before making a stupid judgement.

sir ascend: if I may suggest, instead of bashing us posters here, why not offer your expert opinion/s?

If you feel that the the AFP and GMA are being unjustly criticized in this forum, why not post a counter-argument?

It would not do you any good calling us loyal and longtimer PDFFers ignoramuses.

You're the newbie here, its you who will have to convince us of your intelligence and wide knowledge with regards to military matters.

Otherwise, you are just another troll.

And while the AFP is considering its first SAM for air defense, the United States Navy is pushing the limits of its own SAMs, to the point that they can shoot down both ICBMs and even satellites, as shown in the thread below: :headbang:

Talk about the RP being way behind in the technology front!

Are you kidding, siyempre Amerika yon. Bush just asked for a $500+-billion defense budget for 2009 and about half the world's defence spending is by the US.

Why do we always have to compare ourselves to the US? Defense, politics, pop culture, everything.
