We are still monitoring whether the vessels will return to service.

The DND’s proposed NEP 2027 highlights key challenges in AFP modernization during senate hearing: funding gaps, defense loans, infrastructure, operational readiness, cyber defense, and budget accountability. The priority is turning spending into capability.
Many challenges raised during the Oct. 19 DND hearing have been discussed on this account since Q1 of 2026. It is encouraging to see them acknowledged. We are looking forward to the DND and AFP turn this recognition into concrete reforms and action.

Not entirely new, but not old information either. Another artillery airlift operation was recorded in August, showing a PZL Mielec S-70i Black Hawk transporting a 105mm howitzer.
The integration of this airlift capability is becoming increasingly normalized.
