The Philippine Army (PA) will get a significant improvement
in its warfighting capability once the high-tech equipment President Rodrigo R.
Duterte wants for them start arriving.
"The equipment that the President will program for the
military will definitely increase our warfighting capability," PA
spokesperson Col. Benjamin Hao said on Thursday.
Items which President Duterte want for the military include
more attack helicopters, naval fast craft, long-range sniper rifles, force
protection equipment and secured radios.
The President earlier said he is willing to forgo the
tedious bidding process in government to acquire more guns, ammunition and
equipment for the military.
Although he wants to leave a legacy of peace with threat
groups in the country during his six-year term, Duterte recognizes the need to
provide the military with state-of-the-art equipment.
“We should buy from our traditional market. Everything will
be quality and fast,” he said.
The traditional market for Philippine weapons are the United States , Israel ,
Italy and France
