Pinas does not need air superiority fighters; we need counterinsurgency

underwing hard points.

And a few Stingers wouldn't hurt the morale of ground troops. 

Exactly!  If any country will invade us, a few junkety F-5 won't stop even
the Vietnamese Air Force with its Migs. I believe that what we need is a
cheaper air defence system which could include Stinger missiles, Vulcan Air
defense system, Oerlikon guns, or Bofors anti-aircraft missiles.


I agree with just about every comment here.
My wish list for PAF:
A-10 Tank Killers
AH-64 Apache
F-15
F-16
F/A-18 (so that we can have decent air shows!)


If you want air shows, the F-16 is your best candidate, followed far
behind by the F-15.  No heavy fighter, specially those extra heavy
carrier capable Navy pieces of *** can perform aerobatics like the
cheapo F-16.


Really?  What was the name of that team, "Blue Angels" right?  I think
they use F-18.

Yep, the Navy Blue Angels fly the Hornet. And that's why the Air Farce Thunderbrides can kick their ass when tt comes to performance because they fly the smaller, more aerobatic but much cheaper F-16.

Oh, and if we can have russion aircraft, why not a Mig-25 Foxbat. :-)

I prefer fission aircraft. Or even the fussion variety. Doesn't matter which kind we get. :-D
