Scare is the wrong word, it suits the needs of the Philippines navy and that's all that matters.
Though its got a pretty capable CAPTAS towed array.
Is this for that Benham Rise thing?
>>34672640
You are not gonna scare someone who can shart out a dozen frigates a year.
>2 ships
>semi stealth
Why not just go full stealth fad like us?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Generation_Patrol_Vessel
>>34672732
Becase we are poor
>>34672706
Yes
>>34672756
Do you think we are rich?
This is literally our patrol ship in Somalia as well as Sabah previously. An actual state owned shipping company ship conscripted with a helicopter hangar built on top.
>>34672640
Filipinos are the worst. Look at this lame ass shit
>>34672640
>You guys think this will scare china? Atleast a little bit?
top kek don't make me laugh like that again.
>>34672771
Uh MuslimBurgers are way more wealthy than flips. Like 5-6 times more wealthy per person with at least half the population.
>>34672640
>You guys think this will scare china? Atleast a little bit?
......no
>>34673133
Actually its 1/3 their population
Wealth doesn't convert into willingness to spend, the chink dominated opposition party use the military as scapegoat whenever possible and tons of people still fall for it so any purchase is sensitive matter. Take for example our submarine
>subs just arrived, performs stress test in tropical waters and sent to the docks for troubleshooting afterwards
>Opposition spins it into REEEE muh corruption subs cannot dive muh school muh hospital
>Navy goes fuck you guys and takes their parliament members to watch an underwater exocet launch
>Still spins the same thing after 7 years and still their brainwashed supporters believe they can do no wrong
Hell they even pushed the idea that we don't need any ships at all just speedboats with MG is enough for everything.
This is one of their politicians that go muh corruption reeee gas the malays while his boss operates illegal gambling den with his cronies and attempt to kick out the air force from their main airbase so that he can sell the land to his sponsors in China.
The Phipilinos still have one ship from wwii, they're not about to scare anyone.
>>34673237
Okay well sorry you have to deal with that bro but having worked in both countries I would have to say that you guys blow the flips out of the water. Even with just speed boats you could take the flip navy.
>>34672771
That's... Actually a decent idea. Cheap to adquire and maintain, and has a very decent patrol capability (or would have with maybe 3 helis). Throw in a couple RHIBs and you have a very decent patrol and interception platform on the cheap.
>>34672732
>Loftiness
??
>>34673378
On the other hand it is still a cargo ship manned by civilians and according to the team on the helicopter they were attacked by Somali pirates who thought its just a cargo ship.
I would like to see their face when they realized they just went after a ship with a bunch of navy special forces team on board.
It also served in Sabah as sea base for a while before being replaced by this refurbished oil drilling platform.
Look up Tun Sharifah Rodziah sea base, its nothing fancy but since it started operation just south of the Philippines we haven't had Abus kidnapping for a while now.
>>34673335
One of the latest victims would be the A400M, I wonder what they are gonna say next after the thing get its debut delivering humanitarian supplies to Marawi this week.
Personally I'd wish they just put our AV8 APC and send it to shoot some Abu Sayyaf in Marawi, they deserve that much after all the kidnapping,piracy and murder.
>>34673389
Well its the best one we can afford right now.
>>34673450
>it is still a cargo ship manned by civilians
Oh I thought it was manned it with navy personnel.
Still, those are some very good ideas and they seem like an efficient use of resources.
>2 frigates
>no modern weapon systems
>VLS (planned)
Literally just a hull and an old Oto Melara gun
Considering the communist president mouthing off against the Philippines' traditional allies it would be hilarious if France refuses to commit those Mistrals.
>>34673237
Yup Agree. This is REAL opposition carton about 2013 Ops Daulat on REAL opposition newspaper.
>>34673237
>>34673504
Basically something like this..
>>34673939
Man can't wait to read more of Tony Pua babbling about kleptocracy and how the supplies are overpriced or maybe link ayam brand canned food given away with 1MDB or submarines.
My family already had headache dealing with their puppet Consumer Association of Penang over the Kedah integrated fishing terminal just because they are salty nobody goes to Penang.
>>34672732
Pedra Branca was ours, is ours, and will forever remain ours
Just like your 1MDB funds
>>34674604
Yeah..Yeah..Enjoy your lap in the bosom of your Filipino amah while you still can..
>>34674690
>not forcing the inferior countries around you into indentured labor for your own comfort
When was the last time Malaysia got its way in the region? The ATM is not a threat :^)
>>34674758
And then you have this joke. Are Filipinos even people?
>TLDM
>>34674758
>Using a 2013 news. When using commercial flights as mean of transportation already been practised worldwide..
And what is the last time Singapore got experience? Oh when 11 Singapore 1st Regiment soldier got lost and get ambushed then captured by Indonesian authorities in Batam in 1982. Guess you never heard of it because of God-Jesus-Buddha-Kali Emperor Kuan Yew controlling the news.
>>34674758
American soldiers using commercial flight..That's mean American is no worse than Malaysia? So...SAF is much much better than American transport command eh?
>>34674758
>>34674870
Oh.. Look at this mess.. Singaporean super kiasu soldier must be transported in much much better than the American.
>>34674844
Ah yes, an anecdote about something supposedly happening, where is the proof, just like where is the proof that Pedra Branca belongs to you?
Typical relak-one-corner nationalism, except PB has no corner
>pic related, what happens when TUDM tries to do anything to counter China (KD Pari, in this case)
>>34674886
Not better than America, but certainly better than what northerners can come up with?
Look at your LMS contract-spending over a billion on 2-4 Chinese warships with no weapon larger than 30mm
We don't need an army to defeat you so long as Najib is working for us

Haha RPG-heavy units are literal third-world tier
Where are your tanks?
>>34674890
And this is when super ship tries to outrun a poor defenceless cargo ship.
>>34674940
But I digress, the Malaysians are useful to the region as an independent state, the Philippines are useful to the world as a Chinese colony

>>34675144
>letting some literal nobody filipino fuck around on your island while you send underequipped policemen to get shot at by filipinos
why can malaysians only afford sarong, but not songkok?
>>34675177
>>34675177
Funny thing when "underequipped policemen" managed to kill 12 Filipino terrorist while having only 2 casualty after being ambushed by said terrorist.
>>34675311
And fully fed that said terrorist with mk. 82 and Paveway. Guess this marking will never be painted on SAF aircraft.
Guess it's okay of having rampant animal abuse in SAF...

Have you considered investing in modern equipment - what's that, America won't take Palm oil as barter?

Do you honestly think you can every top us in any sort of metric?
>>34675577
>Do you honestly think you can every top us in any sort of metric?
Nah..Not giving a crap . More than amazed finding kiasu theory is dead on right.
>>34675651
>not giving a crap
That's right, your country doesn't give a crap about anything at all, not for its people, not for its economy, not for its self-respect
soon, there will be no corner for you to rilek
>>34675577
>Implying Paveway was ancient...
Then again failed to recognized than we gained much better experience in warfare.
>>34675661
Yeah...Sure..Probably after your god-emperor birth homes got razed by its own family by the order of court.
>>34675704

Tell me exactly how malaysia is relevant in any shape or form
>>34675661

Ah, so now you managed to get invaded by the AFP
That's worse than insurgents
You have not shown how you are in any shape or form the superior country

>One crash 32 years ago
>Compared to constant TUDM/Nuri crashes, and 3 TLDM ships going up in smoke in the space of the year, Laksamanas breaking down, Jerongs sinking, all within the past five years
Malaysians simply cannot maintain or operate equipment properly
You can't have it either way, either its your own security forces killed in an ambush, or bona-fide Filipino forces with Filipino equipment
Then again, your 'Malaysiamilitarypower' website is just a load of hogwash, Malaysia has no military power
>Malaysia has no military power
Then again more experience in warfare than virgin SAF. At least we don't have force amah to carrying our NSF pack.
>>34672640
What we need is more cargo ships.
>>34676597
Agree. Also a better IFV armour package.
>>34674035
(non-Malaysian) It's been interesting watching Kedah develop, the area around AS has really exploded recently. Since UMNO are back after the PAS state leadership, it really seems like they've been investing in electoral bribes. Down side is things are getting way more expensive, though I guess the same is true with all Malaysia, at least Kedah isn't bending over to attract foreigners like Johor.
>>34676163
Ah yes, the same 'UN mission' where you got shot up by allies
That's quite some 'experience' there (this is sarcasm)
An armed force that loses engines from its base and overpays for ships and IFVs is not to be taken seriously, just like tour country and culture
At this point, the PLAN doesn't fear small surface vessels. They are only useful to the Philippines as peacetime tools to enforce maritime law, effectively coast guard. What China will fear is modern submarines and an asymmetric minelaying capability.
>>34677018
> it really seems like they've been investing in electoral bribes
Its more Mahathir's tycoon friends jumping over to Najib's side.
Its not that much more expensive compared to 15 years ago and development have been occurring all along the double tracked lines, now the train stations are packed since they park their cars there and ride the trains to another town for work.
>isn't bending over to attract foreigners like Johor.
In recent years its the germans coming in , Continental, Osram and others have been moving in to AS and Kulim. Not quite sure why they pick here instead of somewhere cheaper like Vietnam or China but pretty weird to take a plane and its full of germans and japanese.
>>34674940
>RPG-heavy units
Blame Pakistan, they couldn't pay their palm oil bills with cash and we end up with thousands of RPG-7. They got so many they hand it to the police as well.
>>34677202
And the proof is?
>>34672640
Philippine Navy's new frigates will look more like this. More streamlined and has stealth features
>>34674802
leave our fort alone
Laughing at the two butthurt gooks arguing over who is more irrelevant.
Why do flips and malaysians hate each other so much? It's literally an argument over who is the best out of the worst.
>>34672640
I read the Chinese media. I can tell you what the Chinese think about Philippines - Chinese officials are studying the Marawi siege closely, and were shocked at the incompetence of the Philippine military.
They find it unbelievable that the country can simply lose control of a major city for 3 months. Chinese planners believe that the attack should have been ended within 12-16 hours. In the event of a conflict, China will simply arm the separatists in the south and sow domestic chaos within the Philippines, while using its navy to protect Sabah and keeping Malaysia as an ally.
>>34680551
China also believes the fake M16s they gave to the Philippines helped alot in arming the Philippine Army in Marawi
>>34680498
That was Singaporean not Flips
>>34674900
>over a billion
200 million dollar for 4 vessels
>>34680551
>incompetence of the Philippine military
I could tell this from the first few days of casualty reports, its really quite unfortunate.
>>34680498
More likely the whole SE Asia is getting riled up with Singapore arrogance and their babbling about how technologically advanced their NSF than 'primitive' other SE Asia military although the SAF never ever firing a single shot in combat. It was men who'll win the war, not machine or technology. Singapore kiasu attitude seem forgetful that racism policy practised by PAP government - No Malays,Indian,Eurasian, Jehovah Witness within important military position will led to its downfall. Indonesian can screw up Singapore with haze, Philippines and Malaysia by withdrawing their workers which is compromised of 80% of Singapore industrial and menial workforce as newer Singaporean youth prefer to work under air condition and afraid of getting sweat in workplace. Plus PR China can screwed up Singapore by assimilated PRC foreigner into Singaporean rakyat thus allowing PRC ideology seeped into their lives. Then again, Singapore claimed they is the best military in the entire SE Asia wasn't?
>>34681523
You seem angry. Is your wife emotionally abusing you by denying sex?
>>34681197
Wait, they lost naval assets? The fuck?
>>34681631
Pretty sure its 100+ troops and some armored cars, rebels sinking ships with RPG-2 is just silly.
>>34676597
If our steel is enough to damage an Arleigh Burke we should partner with France or South Korea to build frigates.
>>34682608
Filipino steel sharp as bolo!!!
The previous Aquino administration actually considered the possibility of the Philippine military getting nukes to deter China
>>34680261
Its like watching two retards fighting over the front seat on the short bus
>>34681617
Nah..Singaporean needs more sex than other SE Asian...After all in Singapore youth pursuit of 5C and PR Chinese mistress, the Singaporean birthrate is going down faster than City Harvest Church funds...Sooner even PR Chinese rakyat will take over the seat of dead-god-emperor-Jesus Kuan Yew..As REAL Singaporean sons goes extinct/moving to Australia.
>>34683002
This is false.
Our constitution forbids us from having nukes and bioweapons.
The Aquino administration was pretty aggressive in pursuing military deals because of the complete neglect of previous administrations as well as a reaction of China taking Scarborough Shoal. Despite the aggressive wheeling and dealing, Aquino had to contend with a non-committed Obama administration and ASEAN. Obama was rattling and beating the war drums but won't fully commit if shit actually hit the fan which deterred all the claimants. The once aggressive Aquino was nothing more but a lame duck for the final two years of his term.
Then the communist despot came, highly likely funded by China and just erased all progress of alliance-building in favor of sucking up to his Chinese masters in just one year. He's still barking at the United States and our Western allies, really makes you think.
