'Yang Air Force natin diyan, ha, bago kayo bumili ng F-16C or KF-21, tandaan nyo lang yung STUDY na lumabas' earlier this Year saying how VULNERABLE US and Philippine Air Bases are to Chinese Missile Attack.
So your Aircraft will be USELESS if they can't even take off the Ground if they are destroyed, or if their Runways are damaged. Bases can be hardened, but only after a certain Point. In the End, multiple or bigger Guided Bombs and Missiles will still destroy them.
This is the Reason why even if I think Sweden is a PIECE OF SH*T for refusing to sell their Gripens to Digong, in the End I still think it is the Best Aircraft for the Philippines right now, especially after that Study.
The Gripens were designed to operate from alternatives to Runways, which is what makes it unique and more survivable to Chinese Missile or Guided Bomb attacks since they can be relocated to remote areas, and also they can keep moving from one Area to another.
I was supposed to make a Video out of that Study, but just too many POLITICAL DISTRACTIONS now 'dahil sa Katrayduran ni Bangag.'
