The PAF is gearing for a "near-to-ideal" integrated air defense system, as the Air Force prepares for the introduction of new capabilities.
The Commanding General of the Philippine Air Force π΅π, Lt. Gen. Arthur M Cordura PAF said, that the PAF is preparing to have a "near-to-ideal", integrated air defense system. As the PAF prepares to receive new capabilities: additional 12 new FA-50PH Block 70 light fighter jets, and the upcoming Multi-Role Fighter (KF-21 Boramae). The integrated air defense system that the CGPAF mentioned, also includes the establishment of an effective command and control, which will allow our troops on the ground, our platforms that are flying, and our vessels that are in the sea, to talk to each other. They will be all integrated. He added, that once we established a "near-to-ideal" state of integration, the Armed Forces of the Philippines will be able to coordinate and put all capabilities at sync, to effectively defend our territory.
