Le F-22 ne s'est jamais montré brillant contre des avions modernes. Assez récemment, il n'avait pas fait bonne impression face aux Su-30 indiens.

Israeli Elbit System to enhance Philippines Navy with next-generation Maritime Patrol Aircrafts
The Philippine Air Force has launched the $114 million Long Range Patrol Aircraft (LRPA) Acquisition Project. This vital initiative is part of the Horizon 1 phase of the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program (RAFPMP), marking a key advancement in the nation's defense capabilities. The LRPA project has seen two main contenders emerge: the ELI-3360MPA on an ATR-72 600 platform and the Airbus P-295MPA / ASW.
The Philippine Air Force will significantly enhance its capability to monitor its exclusive economic zone and territorial areas in the South China Sea with the Elbit long-range patrol aircraft, which are based on the Leonardo ATR 72-600 platform. (Picture source: Elbit System and Wikimedia)

First Philippine Army training on the ASCOD Light Tank [ GDELS-SBS]
GDELS has successfully completed the first training on the ASCOD Light Tank (LT105) for members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines. ~
Press Release, Kaiserslautern, 14 February 2024: As pointed out in a recent statement from General Dynamics European Land Systems–Santa Bárbara Sistemas (GDELS-SBS), the Spanish subsidiary of GDELS has successfully completed the first training in operations, driving and maintenance of the ASCOD Light Tank (LT105) for members of the Armed Forces of the Philippines at the Camp O’Donnell military base, located in the municipality of Capas (Tarlac) on the island of Luzon.
The courses were held between January 29 and February 9 for personnel of the First Tank Battalion of the First Armored Division of the Philippine Army (PA) as well as specialists from the Armored Vehicle Maintenance Battalion. The training consisted of a course on operations, driving and maintenance of the ASCOD tracked armoured vehicle for 28 drivers and 15 commanders, and a second course dedicated to 2nd echelon maintenance with 15 mechanics of the Philippine Army. A driving course had already been given prior to the departure of the vehicles at GDELS’ Alcalá de Guadaíra factory near Seville.

GDELS-SBS has supplied, in cooperation with the Israeli firm Elbit Systems, new combat vehicles of the ASCOD family. The SABRAH is a version of the ASCOD adapted for the Philippines, characterised by its protection, mobility and adaptability to different combat settings. It has been delivered in three variants: Light Tank (LT105), Command Post with UT 25 unmanned turret, and Recovery (ARV).
In April 2022, the Philippine Army reactivated the First Tank Battalion of the First Armored Division as part of strengthening the military capabilities of its Armed Forces. “Looking at the future operational landscape, the PA has reactivated the 1st Tank Battalion to provide our infantry and mechanised infantry forces with advanced firepower capability and enhance the standards of protection, especially in conducting contingency missions and combined arms and joint operations in the country,” Army Chief Lt. Gen. Romeo Brawner Jr. said in a statement in April 2022.
The Philippines is the fourth user country of the ASCOD vehicle currently in operation in Spain (under the name PIZARRO), Austria (ULAN) and Great Britain (AJAX).

Philippine Army showcases territorial defense capabilities in CATEX Katihan Battle Period 2 The Philippine Army showcased its territorial defense capabilities during the Combined Arms Training Exercise (CATEX) Katihan's Battle Period 2 that commenced at Col. Ernesto Rabina Air Base (CERAB) in Capas, Tarlac on March 15, 2024. Battle Period Phase 2's highlight include the 502nd Combined Arms Brigade's live fire exercise utilizing the Autonomous Truck Mounted Howitzer System (ATMOS) 155mm self-propelled guns. Moreover, the Armor Division employed the 120mm Mounted Mortar System (MMS) and Armored Personnel Carriers (APCs) during the said exercise. CATEX “Katihan” effectively tests the Army’s capability to move, maneuver, and sustain large-scale forces during combat operations. As the Philippine Army evolves its unit trainings in order to address the fast-changing security environment, it is paramount to conduct the CATEX. The design of the various unit trainings involving different warfighting functions will be integrated in order to exercise combined arms operations as the highest form of unit training involving maneuver, maneuver support, maneuver service support and reserve units. The exercise, which is anchored on PA Implementing Plan “Maragtas,” will wrap up on March 18, 2024 through an After Activity Review that will be held at the Training and Doctrine Command's headquarters in Camp O’Donnell, Capas, Tarlac.

PH Navy Test-fires New Non-line of Sight Missile System
14 April 2024
The Philippine Navy test-fired the newly-installed Spike NLOS missile system on one of its FAIC platform in Mariveles, Bataan (photo: PN)
MANILA – The Philippine Navy (PN) has validated the precision strike capability of the newly installed Israeli-made Spike NLOS (non-line of sight) missile system fitted aboard one of its fast attack interdiction craft (FAIC) platforms.
The NLOS missile system accurately hit the target at least 20 kilometers away during the firing held in Mariveles, Bataan on Wednesday, Navy spokesperson Commander John Percie Alcos said in a news release Friday.
"Said activity was part of the acceptance terms and training deliverables included in the FAIC Acquisition Project," he said.
"Offering unparalleled accuracy and versatility, this new capability represents a leap forward in precision-guided munitions technology," Alcos added.
Developed by Israeli firm Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, the Spike NLOS missile system is equipped with advanced electro-optical and infrared sensors and offers day and night operational capabilities, enhancing its effectiveness in various combat scenarios.
The advanced missile system boasts an impressive range of up to 30 km (approximately 18.6 miles), enabling operators to engage targets with pinpoint accuracy from stand-off distances.
"The test-firing coincided with the nation’s commemoration of the Veterans Week and Day of Valor which added significance to the activity that demonstrated the PN’s resolve to better fulfill its mandate to uphold and protect our maritime nation’s sovereignty and interests and as a way to honor the valor and keep the legacy of Filipino war veterans," Alcos said.
The Navy received the two FAICs, also known as the Acero-class gunboats, from Israel on Nov. 18, 2023.
The missile boats were delivered through the general cargo ship Kogra Royal and are now at the Commodore East Posadas Wharf in Cavite City for enhancement, maintenance, and training.
The platforms will be commissioned as PG-906 and PG-907 under the Acero-class patrol vessels of the Fleet’s Littoral Combat Force.
The delivery is part of the FAIC acquisition project of the Revised Armed Forces of the Philippines Modernization Program Horizon 2 contracted with Israel Shipyards, which includes nine platforms, and the transfer of technology to bolster the country's shipbuilding capability.
