Philippines and the United States Agreed to Speed up Talks for the Possible Sale of Viper F-16s

The United States has Again Offered to Supply 12 Units of F-16 to the PAF

As expected, it looks like EDCA and the closer defense ties between the Philippines and the United States will have an effect on the Philippine Air Force's Multirole Fighter Acquisition Project.

While it did not specifically say buying American fighters, it is obvious that the US will support the Philippines in procuring and attaining a fleet of American-made fighter aircraft.

The point that the Multirole Fighter has made it into the official statement shows how important the need for Multirole Fighters are not just in the Philippines' point of view, but also that of the Americans who are guaranteeing our defense against foreign aggression.

MaxDefense Philippines have always been saying that politics has become a key element in the PAF's Multirole Fighter Acquisition, which could benefit Lockheed Martin's bid to supply the F-16 Block 70 Viper to the PAF including a commitment to supply one F-16C/D Block 30 or 40 Fighting Falcons from US Excess Defense Articles (EDA) to assist in immediately building up air defense capability and familiarization of our air and ground crew while waiting for the new F-16 Vipers to be manufactured and delivered.

And we have always been saying that EDCA provisions as well as the security situation in the Indo-Pacific has pushed the US to consider providing more fighters from US EDA stocks aside from those committed as part of the new build Viper deal.

While the DND is still in discussion with Sweden and Saab for their JAS-39C/D Gripen, it doesn't make sense anymore in terms of logistics, maintenance, and training to have them if the PAF will still receive F-16s from the US, with or without the Viper deal. 

Hopefully, the US push to assist the PAF to build its MRF fleet would start immediately.

  23. China ga mau ambil proyek yg tdk layak tsb - setahu saya sdh pernah ditawarkan dan China menolak.
    Seperti di negara lain, maunya :
    1) dibayar melalui APBN, atau
    2) ambil infrastruktur yg untung, seperti Bandara Soekarno-Hatta, Ngurah Rai dan Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok.

  26. Mereka meminta porsi sahamnya dikurangi dengan cara diambil alih oleh China agar beban keuangan mereka berkurang.

    “Denger2 BUMN yg jadi anggota konsorsium KCIC sudah minta agar porsi saham mereka dikurangi, diambil alih China agar beban keuangan mereka berkurang,” ujar akun Twitter @PartaiSocmed.

    Pemilik akun kemudian menyimpulkan bahwa seandainya hal itu terjadi, maka terjadi pengalihan penguasaan lahan dan aset-aset KCIC lainnya ke tangan China.

  29. Dia melihat, proyek KCJB merupakan proyek ugal-ugalan, tanpa studi dan perencanaan matang. Apalagi Jokowi dan Luhut tidak mau terima kritikan dari para pakar, akademisi, dan aktivis, saat perencanaan proyek itu.

    "Jokowi dan Luhut telah menjerumuskan negara masuk dalam jebakan utang China atau China debt trap, sebagaimana dialami negara-negara Afrika dan Asia lainnya," kata Muslim.
