given the chance, should the Philippines acquire the Swedish made AT-4 (M136 in the USA) anti-tank weapon or the Mk. 153 SMAW which is probably enough to disable tanks such as the Chinese Type 96G MBTs or should we procure the FGM-148 Javelin

I think it has been discussed here before that the Philippine Army acquired hundreds pieces of ARMBURST LAW Anti-tank weapon during the height of 1989 Coup d etat spearheaded by Col. Gringo Honasan.

This was hurriedly brought by the US Forces to give the Armed Forces Loyal to President Cory Aquino the upper hand to counter those Big LVTH6 tanks from the Marines and some V150 who joined the RAM.

We also have numerous amount of Portable 57mm and 90mm Recoiless Rifle that can pierced thru the armor of LVTH6. I recall that a 90mm RR was use by a Scout Ranger against a LVTH6 driven by his own brother (PMC) who joined the RAM and got killed.

I think we should also consider the Matador. Not that expensive, and multi-purpose in a sense that you can use it to destroy enemy bunkers or make a hole in the wall so that friendly troops can move in. ^^

Yes agree to the Matador is the best in our case say good by rebel scum

There's a new variant of the AT4 LAW, which is the AT4-CS LAW which can be fired in tight areas, kaya pwede ito gamitin ng isang sundalo kahit nasa maliit na kwarto lang

ahaha, nice. Maganda ito. Ito yung ginamit ni John Connor nung tinira nya ang Hunter Killer ng Skynet, sa movie ng Terminator 4. :fire:

Take note na hindi lang anti-tank weapons ang dapat pagtuunan natin ng pansin. The ChiComs are fielding a portable thermobaric weapon - a different form of FAE weapon.

PF-97 - 80 mm fuel air explosive rocket launcher

I mentioned this as its a formidable partner to an anti-tank weapon. Something that can be deployed to easily destroy the protectors of armored vehicles.
