Filipinci zainteresovani za japanske AH-1S koje ovi ubrzo povlace iz upotrebe
Vec je njihova delegacija izvrsila uvid u helikoptere
A inace od njih pazare UH-1J Huey koje povlace
Citat:While the Philippine Army announced plans to acquire Fuji-Bell UH-1J Huey helicopters from Japan, it also showed interest to get at least 1 squadron of Fuji-Bell AH-1S Cobra attack helicopters, which are scheduled for retirement from JGSDF service soon.
Sources confirmed that the PA team that inspected the UH-1Js also inspected the AH-1S Cobras and were interested in them should they be offered as a grant by Japan. While "old", these were made in the mid 80s to 2000, with the remaining units among those made in the 90s.
Technically these AH-1S are younger than PAF's MD-520MG Defender fleet. Also, these AH-1S also recieved Step 3 upgrades which actually make them AH-1F standard.
