The 15th Strike Wing of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) featured an M60 Machine Gun Pod for use on their SF-260TP Warrior Combat aircraft as one of their Self Reliant Defense Posture (SRDP) Program on their 2018 Anniversary Edition of their “The Trojan’s Voice” publication.
The M60 Machine Gun fires the 7.62 x 51 mm ammunition at around 10 rounds per second (rps), and the SF-260TP carries 2 of these at a time for a combined rate of fire of 20 rps. It wasn’t noted though how many rounds the pod can carry.
Other SRDP Projects listed were:
* A Trigger Guard for the Weapons Release Trigger on the Joystick of the SF-260TP to prevent its accidental activation;
* A Mobile Stand to allow easier and safer Installation or Removal of the Forward Looking Infra-Red (FLIR) Ball on the AW-109AH Nighthawk Helicopters;
* A Cockpit Mockup for the OV-10 Bronco to allow Student Pilots to familiarize and memorize the layout of its Cockpit without necessarily sitting on the Cockpit itself.
