An Article titled, “Army Modernization: A Counter to the Next Phase of Conflict” on the 4th Quarter 2020 Edition of the Army Compass (the Official Philippine Army Quarterly Publication), said that the Armed Forces of the Philippines’ (AFP) Senior Leaders had already approved two Projects for the Philippine Army (PA) which are described as “Game Changer Projects”.
These are the Land Based Missile System (LBMS) and the Medium Range Air Defense System (MRADS) Projects. The Article though did not provide additional Details like which Systems the PA is looking at for these Projects.
However, for the LBMS, the PA has not been hiding their interest on the PJ-10 BrahMos System for the last couple of Years now, and it also is the one Pictured in the Article, so it is the likely the main Candidate.
Earlier this Month (January 2021), the Indian Press reported that the Philippines is one of the Countries interested in acquiring the Akash Surface to Air Missile (SAM) System, so that could be a Candidate for the MRADS.
Both Systems are made in India, so when they do get funding then it will be a bit easier to source the two Projects from them. There are likely other Candidates for the LBMS and MRADS, but has not been revealed yet to the Public so far.
