Will these choppers fit in Hamilton's hangar? 450 million pesos is around $11 million. Which of these fits the bill? |

Except for the SH-3SeaKing both the SH-60 and the S-2 were carried by the Hamilton Cutters. |

But the news said
... so it seemed both the cutter AND helicopters will be purchased from the United States.. The Anakonda is made in Poland, right? if I'm not mistaken.. |

i think the article is refering to the cutter...not the helos. with $ 11M for each helo , i dont think we can buy a brand new US made naval helo. |

Well if we do follow the article it may not be brand new. Anyway you cant find a decent BNEW ASW Helo with only $11M. (I said Decent not availability) well for one thing I'm hoping on the SH-60 on being acquired. |

There is only one helicopter that is tailor made for the PF-15, and coincidently it cost $11M. Its the DAUPHIN. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eurocopter_AS365_Dauphin ![]() ![]()

Modernization should prioritize: Patrol Ships with air/sub/ship detection, fast & lightly armed for Navy. Surface Attack Aircraft with anti ship/sub attack capability for Airforce. SAM with Radars, Close AA battery capable of shooting ground targets too for Army. This triangle defense will work together and protect us from external threats. | |

nice one, paratorpe..i like your suggestion, AS365 Dauphin. :thumb: another contender for PN naval helo is the MH-68A Stingray or also known as AW-109 ![]() ![]()
