Title: Tanks or guns?


Marschall - November 28, 2006 12:40 PM (GMT)
In dealing with external threats, wouldn't it be better for the Philippines to actually acquire weapons such as this: RPG-29???

With a weapon such as this beaing able to destroy heavily armored MBTs , Filipino soldiers couls e.g. effectively defend the nation against an amphibian landing by any enemy forces.

Investing in tanks though that are uch more expensive than the RPG-29s would be not very sensible sionce tanks are not fitting in our landscape and may well be easy targets for enemy forces.

another weapon:

Toophan 2


This weapons would certainly boost our army's capabilities for a few $$$ :thumb:

With our Scorpions in storage, wala bang ibang candidate na pamalit ang nasa isip ng AFP to augment or replace it? Tracked rin syempre. How about the Sheridans ng US? Alisin na lang yun turret at weapon niya as we don't need it naman para makamura then let's add our own turret instead.
