PAF choppers keeping constant watch on remaining MNLF

From the Philippine News Agency (Sep 24): PAF choppers keeping constant watch on remaining MNLF

In a bid to prevent the remaining Moro National Liberation Front (MNLF) fighters from breaking through the military cordon in Barangay Sta. Barbara and Catalina, Philippine Air Force (PAF) helicopters were deployed to conduct aerial reconnaissance Tuesday.

And once these helicopters spot a significant threat coming from the MNLF camp, the pilots can radio ground forces to deal with the latter.

"All our airborne choppers are conducting aerial reconnaissance," 1st Infantry Division spokesperson Capt. Jefferson Somera said.

PAF combat support helicopters are constantly flying over the battlefield with MG-520 "Defender" attack helicopters being called from time to time to fire upon known MNLF positions.
