PH Air Force fifth, sixth supersonic jets arrive today
Arrival ceremony for Philippine Air Force’s fifth and sixth South Korea-made FA-50PH “Fighting Eagle” (005 and 006) was conducted today in Clark Air Base, Pampanga. The ceremony started at 11 am. FA-50PH with tail number 005 touched down 11:05 am, while 006 touched down 11:07.
The Philippines has 12-plane order from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) worth PHP18.9 billion. FA-50PH aircraft are Mach 1.5 capable.
The 1st and 2nd FA-50PHs arrived in November 2015, while the 4th and 3rd arrived a year after. The remaining six aircraft on order are expected to be delivered within this year.
PAF’s FA-50PHs were recently blooded in combat during the surgical air and artillery strike that wounded Abu Sayyaf Group commander Isnilon Hapilon last January 26.
The FA-50PH has a top speed of Mach 1.5 or one-and-a-half times the speed of sound and is capable of being fitted air-to-air missiles, including the AIM-9 “Sidewinder” air-to-air and heat-seeking missiles, aside from light automatic cannons.
It will act as the country’s interim fighter until the Air Force gets enough experience in operating fast jet assets and budget allocation for more capable fighter aircraft. (Update)
Air Force now has six ‘Fighting Eagles’
With the delivery of additional two South Korean-made FA-50PH “Fighting Eagle” jets, the Philippine Air Force now has six supersonic aircraft that can reach the speed of Mach 1.5 (1852.2 km/hour) or 1.5 times faster than the speed of sound.
FA-50PH with tail number 005 touched down 11:05 am in Clark Air Base, while 006 touched down at 11:07, February 22.
The Philippine Air Force ordered 12 units of FA-50PHs from Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) worth 18.9 billion pesos.
The 1st and 2nd FA-50PHs arrived in November 2015, while the 4th and 3rd arrived a year after. The remaining six aircraft on order are expected to be delivered within this year.
These aircraft will act as the country’s interim fighter until the Philippine Air Force gets enough experience in operating fast jet assets and budget allocation for more capable fighter aircraft.

...which left Brunei as the only ASEAN country who've yet to operate Fighter Jets.
BalasHapusTimor leste ?
HapusTimor Leste is not ASEAN member.
HapusCaan.If Timor Leste has no experience with supersonic fighters, it would do well for them to start with turbo pop planes with CAS capability such as OV-10 or SF-260. MRF Program should be carefully planned and cannot be done in haste. The case of PAF is a good example. PAF used to fly supersonic fighters (F-5) but retired them 2005. It is only 2015 that we resumed flying supersonic fighters (after 10 years) again upon the arrival of FA-50s, but before our pilots can fly the new planes, they first must get proficiency in flying turbo pop planes, after that another proficiency in flying a more advance turbofan planes such as S211 or M-345. Only after such training can our pilots fly the new FA-50, and add to these the training our pilots got from KAI personnel, the manufacturer of FA-50. Budget is another consideration for such a program. FA-50 costs around $30 million per piece.
HapusBrunei and Timor Leste doesn't need any fighter jet. The country, population and economy(not income per capita) is too small to operate a full fledged jet.
HapusKotori. Every country has a right to determine which defense materials they see appropriate for their use. IMO, they definitely need fighters to guard their airspace, but managing its procurement is something needs to be worked out by their financial managers.

Saiful. 8 FA-50s is the future of Sri Lanka, This is a good start for RBAF. And possibly new MRFs when the pilots get used to flying supersonics.
BalasHapusWow... pinoy hv 6 FA-50, all asean country... pls be warned.. hahahahaha
BalasHapusUnknown. That's not funny at all, you are insulting a whole race. You are actually basking at the sad plight of other people. The world has no need for your kind
HapusL'a ignoré, aymokay.
HapusNous sommes attaqués. C'est absolument la guerre de procuration
hidup asean!
FA 50 is a good entry point for PH to regain the supersonic capability again, and it is not funny to laugh at their effort, as in the past ID had the similar situation where our old jetfighters were practically grounded because of no spare parts, even though at the end we keep improving ourselves, so will the PH !! By the way, to fight the southern rebels, things like super tucano work better than FA 50, as it is very agile at lower altitude and slower speed.
HapusASEAN should act on this. Dont let your Muslim neighbor to do this with innocent people.

He had just about enough intelligence to open his mouth when he wanted to eat, but certainly no more!!A stupid man's report of what mass media says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand
Hapusthis is not an ordinary issue that Asian should not resolve and intervence their Muslim neighbor.
BalasHapushttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16-zBTz06G4
Its not wise to paint a certain country in bad images. This will only made stereotypes among Asean worsening. Not every country is peacefull and united such as countries from scandinavia. Dont intervene other country affair by viral videos from a bad perspective and using religion to back you up.
HapusJust ignore him
HapusTypical fucktard pinoy. Using west papua new guinea as smokescreen to hide the internal problem it has right now. Stop the killing spree of drug user and distributor and the communist and muslim rebel first before stand up for human right.
Hapusif someone oppress and made genocide to other is a mortal sin which should not be treated as unusual things.this is a serious issue specially for those third world country and justice will serve at all cost.
Hapusthird world and where u come from, i believe u are not from this planets lol.
Hapusits true, coz u keep lying all the time. no one will believe in you including GOD almighty..lmao
you re liar, knave! you just play the video in a language that you yourself don't know, if you all dont belive me and want proof please come to Papua and see how peaceful and civilized society there!! raja ampat in Papua is one of the tourist destinations are free and open to the international overseas travelers!!how could we hide war? Stupidity alone can sometimes be tolerable, but when you add arrogance to the mix, you then become a stupid bitch
HapusFor sure this jets should be use against radical Muslims found in South of Pilipines.
