how about having some of these to protect ourselves against hostile vessels?

:armywink:

These would certainly cost less than having a warship armed with Harpoons. However, the fact that the RP is an archipelago nation limits the mobility of the truck launchers.

I think we can transports those trucks by ro-ro! :specool:

What if we use ASMs that can be airlifted by Huey or even be transported on small boats or smaller vehicles?

Well, those wily pests we call Hezbollah got away with it and made an ass out of Israel.

Ok rin pero i think sa Army yan or sa Naval base defense for base defense siguro and dapat sa Aircraft rin tama so i think its nice we can deploy it anyware in the field but still it depens on what missiles Harpon or Russian missiles or swed missiles or Euro Missiles like brit or French or German? :patrioticpinoy:

So, we now know - for sure - that our "friendly" (sarcasm, yes) Chinese neighbours are patrolling within our territorial waters since they think the area is theirs.

Apparently, arming vintage warships would still be risky since they - if things go from bad to worse - can easily be sunk with Chinese torpedoes.

So, I suggest mobile land-based platforms (safe from torpedoes) that would at least offer some key points a bit of defense against surface vessels:

RBS15



Naval Strike Missile

Gabriel Missile


and the rather expensive, but deadly:

BrahMos

I suggest this one, relatively cheaper than the others, yet deadly.

Tunguska-M1




Tunguska

It can destroy Naval Aircraft, enemy fighters, and even Cruise missiles from Chinese Naval ships.

There is one problem:

it offers no defense against naval vessels.

Actually a mixture of both would be good...

Cheaper than acquiring a huge frigate

Why not both? both anti cannon and that new naval missile for maximum defense

You need to locate the target first. Detect them beyond the range of your weapons, beyond the range of his weapons. Hiding one's location is a primary tactic in surface warfare. If he knows you can find him, chances are high he will stay away.

Enemy ships? A combination of Tunguska for Air Defense and this! :fire:





E2 yung 2 variants na kakailanganin po natin for Naval Defense.

M26A1 (range, 45 km) and the M26A2, dun sa cost, mahal siya sure, pero ang layo naman ng presyo nito kaysa Frigates. Deadly talaga 2.

Meron pa mga sirs.

M30 Guided MLRS (GMLRS), nasa 60 kms ang range niya.

These are delivery systems. You need an "ACQUISITION, IDENTIFICATION AND TARGETING" system first.

just put that tunguska in our ship then there you have it anti-ship missiles,haha,

Astig to a, may variant siya na ang range ay 200km! Wow! :fire:

That is the point. ^^ To make them stay away from this strategic areas. Kung hindi man, dahil e2 yung objective nila, make them pay!

Against ships, an aircraft with long range anti-ship missile is the most feasible choice

That is the problem, we don't have anything yet capable enough to launch and hit enemy ships. Mapa MRF, combat helo, yung pinost ni Marschall or mga at least corvette na may kakayahang tumira ng anti-ship missile, wala pa. Sana ang mga problemang ito ay masolusyunan bago mahuli ang lahat.

well a good naval defense is combo of all the 4 service of the afp and their sub units and independent units and civil units like fast acting on land forces and fast deployment of air forces and naval units to intercept enemy force from reaching the mainland but the elements should be present technology and equipment, Intelligence, and training for any from of warfare thats our problem specially technology and equipment and add one doctrine we don't even know what doctrine should follow that our main problem that my own position on the matter
