Sobra ka naman. Anong 70s model. 60s model naman. :D

Equipped with a helicopter flight deck, retractable hangar, and the facilities to support helicopter deployment, these 12 cutters were introduced to the Coast Guard inventory in the 1960s.

Afaik, the price for the jets include parts, maintenance and stores, good for 15 years from KAI. At least, that's what the AFP Modernization Law states when procuring military equipment.

Well, we shouldn't be known as a "beggar" anyway when it comes to procurement of military equipment because what you'll likely get are those which are near the end of their service life, or those which are in dire need of repairs and upgrades.

Buti pa ang bumili kaysa humingi because you'll get the benefit of support from the supplier in terms of training, parts and spares, as well as ordnance.

The Philippines has the "distinction" of having the "oldest" active warship in the world that actually sunk a German U-boat....its was acquired from the US in 1975 after it was returned by the JSDF. Third hand ship...hehehe. It is kept afloat because they can't buy new ones. Most of her weaponry were removed because they are too old and without spares. I'm sure many collectors will want to put it in a proper musuem...
