The Philippine military is reviving its supersonic
capability after a decade, accepting on Saturday the first two of 12 new FA-50
fighter jets from South
Korea
Philippine Defense Secretary Voltaire Gazmin and military
chief Hernando Iriberri led the reception ceremony at an air force base in
Pampanga province north of Manila
The Philippines decommissioned its last fighter jets, the
F-5, in October 2005 due to high maintenance cost and because it had focused
then on internal security matters such as terrorism and insurgency.
