I got to unlock the Mig-29 Fighter Aircraft on the Metalstorm Game recently, and initially I thought it was just mediocre in the Game, until I realized that its very high optimum Turn Rate speed of over 800 kph and powerful Cannons gives it a number of Advantages when doing Dogfights ...

My Review of the Mig-19 on the Metalstorm Fighter Aircraft Video Game, in my Opinion it is a very acrobatic Aircraft that is fun to fly, but not very practical in Combat due to the inadequacy of its Missiles

Not very maneuverable, and not one of my Favorite Aircraft to “fly”, but the Game does try to make up for its Shortcomings by giving it better Durability, good Armor, and better Missiles and Guns. It will dominate at the lower Levels against less performing Aircraft and inexperienced Pilots, but will have Problems competing with better Aircraft and Pilots. For me, it is best used flying close to the Terrain

The F-5 Freedom Fighter is the first Aircraft you get to play in the Game, and I initially didn’t think very highly of it. But as I learned more from Tutorials and Experience, I got to appreciate the Aircraft a lot because of its high Maneuverability if used properly, and keeping a close eye on the Turn Rate Indicator (TRI)

China now is now reportedly actively targeting the Philippines with its new class of Submarines that are armed with Hypersonic and Nuclear-capable Missiles because of the Presence of the Typhon Mid-Range Capability (MRC) System that can be armed with Nuclear-capable Tomahawk Missiles that can reach China even when fired from Luzon.

My first Video about the Metalstorm Game as I review the Mig-23 Fighter Aircraft in it. Not very good during Turning Fights, just like in Real Life of the Aircraft, but it is very fast and a very stable Gun and Missile Platform, with fast locking short-range Missiles. For me it is best used for “Hit and Run” or “Slashing” Tactics, as I show in one of my Best Games with it.

The Philippine Government is reportedly unhappy about the delay in the Delivery of Defense Assets it bought from Israel caused by the Israeli Government’s Policy of prioritizing its own Military first instead of Defense Exports. Ultimately such a Policy could result in an Opening for other Defense Exporting Countries to sell their Defense Products to the Philippines instead

China will be helping Vietnam construct not just one but three Railway Lines, one of which will be partially funded by them and will link both Countries, this despite the Territorial Disputes between them in the South China Sea (SCS) because Vietnam still chose to Ally themselves with China and are now benefiting greatly in Terms of their Infrastructure and their Economy. Meanwhile, when will the United States (US) help its supposed “Ally” the Philippines build three Railway Lines?

Hanwha Systems recently said in an Interview that the six Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPV) of the Philippine Navy (PN) that Hyundai Heavy Industries (HHI) is building will use their latest Naval Shield Combat Management System (CMS) Baseline 4, and that the first of the Vessels is scheduled for delivery early next Year of 2026

A General of the United States (US) Armed Forces recently stated that Chinese Military Forces will far outnumber that of the US in Asia soon, and this is probably the Reason why the US badly needs Allies in the Region, including the Philippines where they are desperately and constantly conducting Anti-China Propaganda Campaigns

The Philippine Army (PA) adds to its growing Arsenal of Precision Guided Munitions (PGM) with the release of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) last Year of 2024 of the guided Ammunition of their Autonomous Truck Mounted-howitzer System (ATMOS) units, which will likely be the “Silver Bullet” Product of Elbit Systems.

A high-ranking Official of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) recently told the Press that a Contract has already been signed for the acquisition of six additional A-29 Super Tucano Aircraft, and Embraer SA itself said a few Days later that an Order had been named, but refused to name the Country which is very likely the Philippines

The Philippine Air Force (PAF) finally retired the last of its OV-10 Bronco Aircraft, effectively ending the Bronco’s Military Service Worldwide as no Armed Forces operates it anymore now, the PAF was the last one. Surprisingly, the newly acquired AH-1S Cobra Helicopters have also been retired after only a few Years in Service with the PAF.

Vietnam has now become the main Exporter of Bananas to China, replacing the Philippines. This after China this Year of 2024 started buying more Bananas from them and less from the Philippines. The worse News is that it might not end there, other Agricultural Products from the Philippines like Mangoes could follow. And where is the United States (US) and its Allies to make up for this loss of the Market in China for Philippine Products, then?

Senate President Chiz Escudero said last Month of November 2024 that the Multi-Billion Pesos worth of Missiles that the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) bought from India just ended up in a Warehouse somewhere since no Funds were allocated for their Proper Storage. However, there are some Inconsistencies in the Details that he mentioned about those Missiles

Another of the Philippine Navy’s (PN) AW109E Helicopters crashed recently, the second in three Years. These were bought brand new and are less than a Decade old, hence the PN should seriously review its Training and Maintenance Procedures as none of the Philippine Air Force’s (PAF) eight AW109AH Helicopters have crashed so far

While a lot of Political Turmoil was going on in the Philippines, an Anonymous Leak was made to the Japanese Press that the United States (US) will be deploying their new Missile Task Force to the Philippines if a War in Taiwan breaks out, which will include the deployment of offensive Tomahawk Missiles that will be used against China to protect Taiwan

Rafael Advanced Defense Systems seems to have completed the delivery of their SPYDER-MR Surface to Air Missile (SAM) System to the Philippines recently which were bought during the time of Digong Duterte, although the Event was seemingly intentionally downplayed. At any Rate, for the first time ever in its History as a Republic, the Philippines now has three SAM Systems defending its Skies

A South Korean Celebrity was reportedly drugged while visiting the Philippines, and the Issue blew up in South Korea (SK) and elsewhere abroad after she managed to post on her Social Media Account while it was happening.
