2018 a banner year for Philippine Navy, as it enters ‘missile age’

Year 2018, which will end in a few days’ time, can be considered as a banner year for the Armed Forces of the Philippines, especially the Philippine Navy, as it formally entered the missile age and demonstrated its capability to sail beyond its territorial waters during deployments to the US, South Korea, and Russia.
This is aside from projected deliveries of new assets for 2019, such as the AgustaWestland AW-159 “Wildcat” helicopters and the “Pohang”-class frigate donated by South Korea to the Philippines.
