GoodNews: Ph Navy, Magkakaroon Na Ng Kauna-Unahang Missile System Na Galing Israel!

The Philippine Navy announced on Monday that it would mount its first missile system on three of its brand new multi-purpose attack craft (MPAC) by Christmas time.

Vice Admiral Ronald Joseph Mercado, the Philippine Navy chief, said that there would be a pre-delivery inspection of the Rafael Advanced Defense Systems Ltd.’s Spike ER (extended range) missile systems from Israel on the Philippine Navy’s MPACs.

“A pre-delivery inspection is already scheduled. Then a [Philippine] Air Force plane will go to Israel to transport the missiles to the Philippines. All expenses paid by the proponent,” Mercado told reporters in a text message.

The missile system is capable of penetrating 1,000 millimeters or 39 inches of rolled homogeneous armor and has a maximum range of five miles. Its missile weapons are on anti-ship mode, which means it can engage surface level targets.

Lalakas na ang hukbong pandagat ng Pilipinas dahil sa paparating na missile system na binili ng gobyerno. Ang missile system na ito ay nagkakahalaga ng P270 million at galing sa bansang Israel. Inaasahang makakatulong ito para mabantayan ng maigi ang karagatan at teritoryo ng bansa.
