Philippine Air Force's 5 Super Tucano Now Armed and Operational!


Last October 20, 2021, the Philippine Air Force (PAF) conducted an "arrival and blessing ceremony" activity for the five (5) A-29B Super Tucano at Major Danilo Atienza Air Base (MDAAB), Sangley Point, Cavite City. This event signifies that the five (5) A-29B Super Tucano of the Philippine Air Force are finally operational and ready for regular missions.
Aside from that one missing aircraft which was allegedly damaged by the Brazilian instructor a few months ago, there were two (2) small deadly details that were added to each aircraft. According to a report, the damaged A-29B is currently undergoing repairs after the unfortunate incident last July 2021.


As seen on the photos we've provided and enhanced, all five (5) A-29B Super Tucano of the Philippine Air Force are finally armed with two (2) internally-mounted .50 caliber machine guns. These MGs mounted internally are American-licensed FN Herstal® M3P .50 Cal. machine guns which were presumably acquired from the United States thru the Joint United States Military Assistance Group – Philippines (JUSMAG-P). It can be remembered that all six (6) A29-B Super Tucano arrived from Brazil last October 2020 without MGs due to the arms embargo imposed by Belgium on the Philippines.

And the Leopard 2 platform is most interesting, as this might very well be a hint on what MBT the PA is interested in acquiring.

AJEX DAGIT-PA 05-2021 | Navy leads AJEX "DAGIT-PA" Joint Inter-Operability Events for Maritime Operations
The Philippine Navy, through Capt. Raul Regis, Acting Commander of Naval Forces Central, and AJEX DAGIT-PA 05-2021 Commander Amphibious Force, spearheaded the two-day Joint Inter-Operability Events (JIOE) for Maritime Operations on November 15 and 16, 2021, conducted in waters off Panay Island.
The exercise seeks to enhance the Armed Forces of the Philippines' joint operability by integrating the Major Services' capabilities toward joint operations in a joint training exercise environment. The outcome is strengthening the interoperability of all the service components of the AFP.

Just an explanation, as the Armed Forces shifts focus to external defense, you will start seeing a lot of these types of exercises. If you notice it would always be combined arms when it comes to major exercises. This is because the Armed Forces is divided into sectors called Tactical Operations Groups. In a TOG, depending on the main threat it will be under the command of the branch that is better suited for the area. Then all assets Army, Navy, Air Force under that area will operate under his command. This is due to the limited resources available and elliminates a missing resource, simply because that equipment is undera different branch.

So for example here, the person in command would be from the Navy and under him would be assets from all the armed forces in that area. In Another TOG, it might be an Air Force Commander or Army.

So joint trainings are vital
