The Hill, a news website based in Washington D.C. in the United States (US) published an opinion article calling on the US Congress to block the possible sale of American made Attack Helicopters to the Philippines.
Assuming that the US State Department formally notified the US Congress of the possible sale early this month (May 2020), then the 30-day period which they could object to the sale to will end soon.
If they give no objections after that period ends, then the US Congress would’ve given the approval for the possible sale of the Attack Helicopters.
The other organizations that made similar calls to the US Congress included the Human Rights Watch (HRW), Foreign Policy in Focus (FPIF) and the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines’ (ICHRP).
Also, as mentioned by former Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohamad just over a week ago, the US might embed into the aircraft they are selling certain restrictions as they see fit.
Unless the US gives us complete access to the Source Codes of these aircraft, then we must be wary of any restrictions they might be embedding into it.
