you know let's be honest about this , We have MRT na laging sira , schools with no books , Armed Forces that needs more equipment and a road with so many pot holes and less signs

a MQ-9 Reaper cost $16.9 Million US Dollars times that to 18 UAVs  smoking::

it will be either a waste of money even if they acquire one , or lets just put it into dreams and take this as a propaganda campaign for China

as far as I know bro kenji part na ito sa modernization law at wish list na ng Armed Forces na naipasa na before pa masira ang tren and sa ibang schools na kulang yung books before pa na release ang budget sa 2016 ay andun napo yun sa DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION budget na mas pinaka malaking share sa lahat its a matter of prioritization ng mga namumuno sa ahensyang iyon ang pag supply ng need sa coverage nila..

you might forgot bro A7x Tax payers parin ang nag babayad para sa modernization ng military natin , hindi ito galing sa sariling bulsa ng mga opisyal o mga naka upo sa pwesto sa gobyerno

 i am not happy on this so called "wish list"  why

it is too expensive , too promising parang pangako ng politicians , too good to be true and  plus even thou our pilots have enough flight hours flying a plane which is no doubt

Maintenance are too expensive , they maybe have acquired those CAS planes by now but remember those are 2nd hand planes it will broke down in time and needs some repair

UAVs aren't like those Cessna planes we see everyday

In my opinion bro, okay narin to kasi malaking tulong ito sa sa pagpapatupad ng batas especially sa nangyari sa mamasapano this would be a big boost sa air intelligence ng mga troopa natin para maiwasan ang maraming casualties. At least yung tax na binabayaran ko ay napupunta sa mga ganitong bagay kesa ibulsa lang ng mga politiko..I couldn't complain more..

I'm not accurate if those numbers of armed drones and surveillance drones are legit though...

It is a good idea , why not?

But we have to be realistic about this kind of things

$16.9 million USD each for 18 uavs is a hoax or joke reapers can do multi roles

US armed forces let their reapers carry JDAMs  that cost $25K each

I havent seen a reaper carrying a hellfire missile or any kind of burst weapon doing a A10 warthog run

can we really maintain the drones if ever... i think it is wiser to get more multi-purpose choppers or planes that can do the same job... and increase the firepower of our ground troops...

I agree with kenji...kami dalawang  oras lng ang layo sa mamasapano at ramdam namin dito ang epekto ng gyera at kailanman hindi namin isisigaw ang all-out war kasi wlang kabutihang maidudulot yun lalo na dito sa amin. swerte kami at hindi kami nadadamay (sa ngayon, ewan ko bukas) pati kayo. Kung 70% sa Budget natin ilaan sa kagamitang pang-gyera, ano kaya mangyayari sa pinas. Dumarami na nga mga bobong opisyal natin, pano pa kaya kng di natin yan sila pinag-aaral. Oo, marami ring natutunang mali sa mga paaralan, yun ay dahil rin sa mga kakulangan ng bawat isa...Unahin muna cgro natin tugunan ang edukasyon at ng sa ganon, maging sibilisado ang isang lugar at mgkakaroon ng mga mamamayang kaaya aya. Sa Maguindanao, mabibilang mo lang ang mga lugar na pwde mng tawaging Sibilisado. Kaya ang mga mamamayan dito, pwde mng takutin gamit ang mga baril. Bakit sa Davao City, kng may dala kng baril,makukulong ka, mananagot ka kay mayor...opinyon lng po sana naintindihan nyo
