    acquiring sokol w3wa helicopters is a good sign of PAF modernization program, but these choppers are excellent for tactical support only...not good for territorial sky-way or airways def-fences, what we need is a multi task jet fighter to defend our friendly, humble, small but courageous beloved PILIPINAS. If we were once the strongest air power in southeast asia then we can have it back... HOORAAHH !!!!
