This is the first time the United States will be turning over rotary and fixed-wing aircraft to the Philippine Army, which activated an aviation regiment late last year as the ground forces intensify counterinsurgency operations.
The Philippines will send teams to the United States next month to inspect helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft to be transferred to the ground forces under the Excess Defense Articles (EDA) program of the US State Department as Washington pours more military aid to its former colony and long-time security partner.
This is the first time the US will be turning over rotary and fixed-wing aircraft to the Philippine Army, which activated an aviation regiment late last year as the ground forces intensify counterinsurgency operations to end the Maoist-led rebellion before the term of President Duterte ends in 2022.
Washington has offered four UH-60 Black Hawk combat utility helicopters, four AH-1 Cobra attack helicopters and five twin-engine, turbo-prop C-12 Beechcraft planes for troop transport and medical evacuation, according to an Army colonel familiar with the acquisition project but who declined to be named because he was not authorized to speak to the press.
“These are second-hand aircraft but are still operational,” the Army colonel told The Philippine STAR. “These are offered free but we have to shoulder the cost of some repairs and shipment of the aircraft. We will also spend for the armaments and avionics, but these aircraft will certainly boost our capability.”
A second team will leave for the US in April for further inspection of the aircraft, which will be delivered to the country later this year despite threats by Duterte to “tone down” security relations with Washington over continued criticism of his human rights record in connection with the ongoing war on drugs.

Close to 6,000 people have been killed in legitimate police operations against illegal drugs and more than 3,000 others slain in drug-related incidents blamed on vigilantes, according to official police records.
Before activating an aviation regiment, the Army relied on the Philippine Air Force for transporting troops and supplies, evacuating frontline casualties and supporting ground operations.
The Air Force operates a variety of Bell combat utility helicopters, mounting light machine guns to support ground operations, MD-500 light attack helicopters and Sikorsky helicopters to deliver air strikes. The Air Force has also started using its FA-50 light fighters to drop bombs on rebel positions in addition to OV-10 Bronco turbo-prop planes.
“We could have acquired six C-12 planes for the Army, but one plane went to the Philippine Navy, which is also building up its aviation unit,” the Army colonel said, adding that naval aviation has two brand-new Agusta Westland AW 159 Wildcat anti-submarine helicopters.
“In the future, we will also be acquiring brand-new light attack helicopters, armed reconnaissance helicopters and multi-purpose medium-lift helicopters. These assets will enable the Philippine Army to conduct a better array of aviation operations to support ground forces and be more responsive in the archipelagic setting in the defense posture,” he added.
Foreign Affairs Secretary Teodoro Locsin Jr. has cited the increasing US military aid to keep the Visiting Forces Agreement (VFA), which the President has threatened to abrogate due to the revocation of the US visa of a close political ally and former national police chief, Sen. Ronald “Bato” dela Rosa, among other reasons.

“The US plans to spend over $200 million in 2020 to 2021 providing aircraft, training, equipment, and construction for the AFP (Armed Forces of the Philippines), and more than $45 million in FMF (foreign military financing),” Locsin said at last week’s Senate inquiry on the possible impact of the termination of the VFA.
He said the Duterte administration has received a total of $554.55 million in terms of security assistance from the US from 2016 to 2019, including $267.75 million in foreign military financing for the procurement of defense articles.
“In addition, under the VFA, the Philippines is able to receive after-sales servicing in the form of maintenance packages that increase the articles’ value and lifespan,” he said, adding, “without the VFA, the US Departments of State and Defense will be hard put to get funds from the US Congress for FMF and other defense assistance programs to the Philippines.”
Locsin also noted that the VFA allows the US to provide a total-package approach on defense articles that would be compatible with equipment, assets, and systems that are already in place.
The AFP’s current military equipment, assets and systems are largely patterned from and/or provided by the US. Although there are criticisms that the US is using the Philippines as a dumping ground for its obsolete and mothballed aircraft, vessels and other military equipment, Washington has now seen the need to provide better and brand new equipment to its treaty ally to enhance its maritime domain awareness capability.
In the last two years, the US has transferred Scan Eagle drones and C-130-mounted intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) equipment, in addition to installing coastal radar stations in the southern Philippines to monitor movements of small and faster boats used by Abu Sayyaf militants in cross-border kidnappings in Malaysian waters.
Senior defense and foreign affairs department officials have supported moves to “revisit and review” the legal agreements with the US that allow its troops in Philippine soil instead of scrapping the arrangements. The officials believe the benefits from the VFA outweigh the costs of hosting US forces in the country.

Budget pertahanan mereka di era duterte makin ditingkatkan om untuk menghadapi cina
HapusPhinoy sekarang dompetnya lagi tebal karena tiga tahun terakhir ini negaranya kebanjiran pesanan biji nickel, itu terjadi karena beberapa tahun terakhir ini setelah santer beritanya bahwa indonesia yang merupakan penghasil biji nickel kualitas no 1 dan juga penghasil biji nickel terbesar dunia akan menyetop exsport biji nickel. sehingga pasar dunia bisnis nickel mengalami panik, negara cina yg sangat membutuhkan nickel untuk kelangsungan hidup insdustri baja nya melakukan pembelian besar besaran dan melakukan penimbunan....
HapusKualitas biji nickel mentah phinoy jauh di bawah indonesia, jadi selama ini kurang diminati pasar dunia, namun belakangan ini cina berhasil menemukan cara mengolah biji nikel dengan kandungan rendah, sehingga cina berani memborong biji nickel pinoy untuk tetap menjaga industri baja dlm negrinya. Dan cina akan tetap membeli nikel dari pinoy selama indonesia masih melakukan penyetopan ekspor biji nickel...
Karena kepentingan ekonomi itulah duterte bersikap agak lembek terhadap cina yg selalu menganggu wilayah lautnya, dan sikap lembek itu juga lah yg membuat duterte menuai kritikan bahkan olok olok dari warganya sendiri...
Itulah beberapa sebabnya kita melihat beberapa tahun terakhir ini pinoy agak gencar belanja alutsista,... Mereka kecipratan rejeki dari kebijakan penyetopan ekspor biji nickel pemerintah RI..
Hapusyang komen plis dong gak usah bahas malon lagi, level kita dah beda dgn mereka... jadi kaya blog murahan aja isinya umpatan mulu..

Myanmar kmaren2 ada peristiwa apa ya kok gede banget belanjanya?? π€π€π€
HapusKayane waktu dikucilkan PBB itu mas terkait HAM yaa ? Tapi kalau dipimpin rezim militer memang umumnya defence budgetnya gede bener mas.... kita negara Republik dan Demokratis bukan Kerajaan jadi semua expense harus melewati keputusan bersama dan pasti akan sulit untuk menaikkan budget defense karena banyak suara yg ikut menentukan.
HapusMyanmar <=> Thailand
HapusMyanmar sempat menduduki tahta peringkat 1 yg bung super. Sementara Indonesia dr peringkat atas langsung anjlok ke urutan 5 sejak terkena krismon.
HapusTp selalu diatas itu gak enak jg ya bung super.
Kalo selalu dibawah juga kurang bebas geraknya ya bung. Sehingga kurang maksimal.Biasanya yg maksimal menghasilkan itu justru kalo melalui jalur belakang, bukan begitu mas super.?..πππ

HapusThai dan Myanmar rezim militer nya kuat mas... Dan rakyat sana terpaksa tinggal dibawah rezim ini... Kalau dibilang efek alutsista nya kuat ya bisa jadi itu nilai plusnya.. tapi ingat.. penduduk mereka sebetulnya iri lho dgn negara demokratis yg tidak dibawah pengaruh militer.. mereka lebih prefer hidup kayak disini... Bebas ngapain aja sih selama dalam koridor hukum yg ditentukan bersama bukan ditentukan rezim militer. π
HapusMyanmar rezim militer,makanya militernya cenderung diperhatiin,kita negara Republik yg selalu berusaha antara ekonomi dan kesejahteraan plus militer seimbang...yg lucunya
HapusKerajaan beruk malon,rezim militer kaga,Republik dan demokratis kaga...dia bikin aliran sendiri Rezim Songlap....Negara bangkrut militer lemah syawat...hahaha
