The Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force commander, Hiromi Hamano, told reporters that Wednesday’s joint training exercise—which he termed a humanitarian and disaster response drill—was a success, shortly after the Orion landed at a Philippine air base in Palawan.

“I think it is important to continue HADR (humanitarian and disaster response), SAR (search and rescue) training with the Philippine Navy,” Hamano told reporters.

The Philippine Navy said the drill was a search-and-rescue exercise.

“It should not be taken as an affront to any other and is an expression of cooperation and learning from all those involved,” said Cmdr. Lued Lincuna, a spokesperson for the Philippine Navy.

And a spokesperson for President Aquino said this week’s activities “should not be taken as an affront” to any other nation.

No spying

“The Philippines has had these exercises before with our strategic partners,” deputy presidential spokesperson Abigail Valte said in a statement.

A spokesperson for the Japanese defense department said the Orion was not used to spy over the South China Sea.

“The purpose of this exercise is to enhance the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force’s capabilities in humanitarian support and disaster relief, not to conduct surveillance activities,” she said.

The surveillance plane crew did not observe anything unusual in the waters, Hamano said.

Recto Bank lies about 153 km west of Palawan, within the Philippines’ 370-km exclusive economic zone.

An encounter near Recto Bank between a Chinese vessel and a survey ship contracted by Philippine firm Philex Petroleum in 2012 has stalled exploration in the area.

The 36-billion-baht budget covers two submarines, as well as maintenance and training of the navy's personnel. Some reports say China has offered special, undisclosed packages to win the deal.

Sources in the navy said there are two short-listed countries. China is the No.1 option, followed by South Korea.

Adm Narongpol, who spoke in his capacity as head of the navy committee, said the purchase would be good for the national economy.

Another source in the navy dismissed concerns that Chinese-made submarines may not be reliable.

"We choose the best for the country. The submarines we buy must be suitable. We are concerned about the safety of our men. The committee's reputation will suffer if it makes the wrong choice," said a panel source.

A committee member who declined to be named said the Chinese-made subs are the cheapest and good quality.

He insisted the committee looked at the whole package in making its decision as China also offered military technology transfer and training. Other countries would charge more for a similar package.

"We should not look down on Chinese submarines," a committee member said, adding China has made progress in arms research and development.

He likened the submarine deal to car buying. "If we are able to buy a Mercedes but have no money left for petrol, we should look at a top model Toyota instead, which would still leave some money for petrol."

not only low cost, but mainly Hawk (like other traning jet) have higher Airframe/fuselage usage hours,  Hawk have 20,000 hrs, than extend to 30,000 hours.
F18 still have design 6000 hours, than can extend to 8000, maximum should be around 10,000 hrs.
so Hawk as buruh kasar is very true,

buy thousand la, we cant win with tech and quality, then we just have to overwhelm the enemy with numbers. lol

imagine spamming then with number like what we did in CnC last time. lol
