The Philippine Army (@yourphilarmy ๐ต๐ญ) unveiled the Army Artillery Regiment's indigenous Gun Air Defense System, during the 128th Philippine Artillery Day, and 19th Anniversary of the Army Artillery Regiment. CGPA, Lt. Gen. Antonio G. Nafarrete inspected the newly-blessed GADS.
RUMINT sources confirmed that a Schiebel CAMCOPTER S-100 VTOL UAS was on the flight deck of the Philippine Navyโs latest OPV.
This is significant because the S-100 is not a small quadcopter-type drone. It is a shipborne rotary-wing UAV designed for serious maritime ISR work

@Dang_Kuo I mean having units that are capable (not are) of doing air assault is nice, but there isnt even a dedicated air assault unit within the army. And I also think you underestimate how many helicopters are needed for a battalion sized air assault unit.

PHILIPPINE BROWN DEER SIGHTED IN MARINDUQUE ๐ฆ๐คฉ
LOOK: The DENR-MIMAROPA confirmed camera trap sightings of at least 10 Philippine brown deer (Rusa marianna) inside the Marinduque Wildlife Sanctuary.
The Philippine brown deer had been considered locally extinct on the island after disappearing from official records in the 1990s.
Recent sightings suggests the deer are breeding and maintaining a small wild population.

@ObserverR13 We can revive industrialization by making landowning elites into industrial elites by land reform. Newer farm owners, industrialists, & technocrats shall lead us until the return of democracy through gradual reforms.
Thats pretty much what ROC(Taiwan) did during the cold war.

PCG, with its ongoing development, is visibly increasing its fast patrol boat fleet, with a pending contract for the acquisition of (40) OCEA fast patrol boats and ex-USCG small cutters, a definite increase of littoral domain awareness capabilities.
So whatโs new?

In 2023, the U.S. offered two Island-class cutters and two Marine Protector-class patrol boats to the Philippines, later transferring the offer to the PCG. The four vessels would boost maritime enforcement and free larger cutters for higher-priority missions.
BRP Pag-Asa (PATS-MPC 2701) will be the lead ship of the donated Marine Protector Class Patrol Boat from the USCG, according to Reniel Ragudo (owner of the video, FB), PCG.

Sec. Gilberto C. Teodoro, Jr. outlined his vision for strengthening the country's deterrence capabilities through conventional and hybrid capabilities, supported by a robust digital information system to enhance cyber capabilities, domain awareness, and operational readiness.
Darkly hilarious how General Atomics dropped the news that theyโre producing artillery shells that can hit New York City all the way from Philadelphia on their Youtube channel with 1,000 subscribers.
