BalasHapusI think F-27 should be decommissioned and PAF can start procurement of newer aircraft such as CN 235 or C 295
BalasHapusI concur with you Adhianto, but at present all countries in the world even including Russia and US are in a tight economic situation. They themselves are even upgrading their legacy platforms. What more for the Philippines, the life cycle of the 3 remaining F-27s are low maintaining them for the time being can compliment the new C-295s, C-130s and Upcoming C-212 coming from your country.
