Personally, for an archipaelago, i'd have preferred gunships.

Italian firm bags P3-B PAF helicopter deal

http://www.philstar.com/headlines/2013/10/28/1250261/italian-firm-bags-p3-b-paf-helicopter-deal

MANILA, Philippines - An Anglo-Italian company has won the bidding to supply eight attack helicopters worth P3.44 billion for the Philippine Air Force (PAF).

The STAR learned that a notice of award was issued to aircraft manufacturer AgustaWestland late last month.

Defense Undersecretary Fernando Manalo confirmed the report, saying the helicopters may be delivered next year if the budget is released soon.

“If the DBM (Department of Budget and Management) releases the cash allocation, the letter of credit could be opened immediately and the helicopters could be delivered before the end of December next year,” Manalo said.

A letter of credit is a document that assures the winning bidder or supplier that the government will honor its financial obligations.

Defense Assistant Secretary Patrick Velez said the Air Force would be getting eight 109 Power (109 P) attack helicopters with .50 caliber machine guns and rocket launchers.

@dulber
You mean training and spare parts aren't part of the purchase? o_0

BTW, ano ba ang ginagawa ng attack helicopter?

Eto ba yung 109? Iba ibang helicopters ang lumalabas sa google eh.

Lt. Cmdr. Gregory Fabic, Navy spokesperson, earlier said prospective airframe, avionics and flight crews of the three AW-109 choppers are now undergoing training at Sesto Calende, Italy.

"The last batch of pilots (and technicians) undergoing training for the AW-109 will leave by the first week of November," Fabic stated.

The PN spokesperson added that these specialized trainings will last from two to four months.

"It is included in (acquisition) package and at no costs to the government," he stressed.

Fabic said that morale is pretty good at the PN and personnel selected for these training programs are very proud that they are called to serve their country.
