PAF chose the T129 Attack Helicopter, but issues with the Contract Exist – Sec. Lorenzana

Defense Secretary Delfin Lorenzana told CNN Philippines in an exclusive interview that the Philippine Air Force (PAF) had already chosen the T129 ATAK Helicopter, but admitted that the Contract has not been signed yet due to some issues he did not specify.

Here are the direct quotes from Lorenzana during the interview, "We appreciate the gesture of the State department but the PAF (Philippine Air Force) has already chosen their preferred attack [helicopter] … They chose the Turkish (T129) ATAK [helicopter]".

However, as per CNN Philippines there are previous reports that the Suppliers of the T129 are having a tough time acquiring Export Licenses for some of its Components, thereby causing delays in the Project from moving forward.
