The Kiowas were retired just last year, so that might be a good addition to the Philippine Army.

Although given the service length on the Kiowas, how long until they get retired from the Philippine military?

Hueys? They're still around, aren't they? Given the extremely long service on those Hueys, I would not be surprised.

Are our pilots that incompetent? Or is the Huey chopper vulnerable to even a tiny thing like a telephone wire or a child's kite?

So technical issues would be more of a problem. And given that next year is election year, the next president will have the trouble of trying to either continue with the military acquisitions or suspending some of them.

So I think if we get the Sabrah medium tanks, we might use it to build an armored force. Maybe we can get Magach MBTs as interim MBT solution. Merkavas are out of the question.
By the way, would the Altay be suitable for the Philippines?

Probably the PA is better getting Leopard 2s and LAV-25s along with SPGs and MLRS. |

The Philippines historically operated M41 Walker Bulldogs, but other than that, it would depend on the budget that they have for such a thing. So far, the ASCOD is already chosen.
