@Mazingu Honestly speaking, I have seen a similar RC Helicopter (Apache) being sold in SM Toy stores Makati... No kidding coz my neighbor bought one too. Is the one you posted different from the one I saw? |

I agree, this toy-like UAV that the Navy presented is but a training aid for a coming UAV, and not a conventional take off UAV like Pakistan's UQAB posted by Mazingu, but definitely a VTOL UAV that could operate out of PN ships. But I doubt it would be the Firescout as suggested by Tora, too expensive and too sophisticated for the PN, but more likely a locally crafted (as stated in the advisory) VTOL UAV that should more or less look like the Rotomotion SR200: ![]() :thumb: |

![]() I think there's a camera in there, look closely at the belly of the chopper, looks like lens of a microcamera protruding. |

Will this Philippine Navy UAV be eventually shipborne? I wonder which PN vessels will be equipped with this VTOL UAV. This can be definitely used by the Marines for scouting the beaches before they land from an LST and the Philippine Navy has an LST that has a helicopter deck. |

I think the PN does really have VTOL UAVs in the pipeline, the PAF is reportedly already operating four UAVs - 2 Predators and 2 Hunter RQ-5s: http://pdff.sytes.net/index.php?showtopic=2687&st=135 :thumb: |

Really? This was never mentioned in the news! Or may be they were just borrowed from the U.S. Military Advisers in Mindanao? Wikipedia is not much a reliable source because the information there can be edited by anybody. |
