Remember the announcement of president Rodrigo Roa Duterte
regarding the donation of the Kingdom of Jordan of two AH-1S Cobra attack
helicopters when he visited Israel and Jordan last year?
The latest new regarding that topic is that the Philippine Air
Force (PAF) team has started training in Jordan for the donated attack
helicopters.
“A team from the Philippine Air Force has started their training
in Jordan recently in preparation for the upcoming 2 Bell AH-1S Tzefas Cobra
attack helicopters donated by Jordan (which in turn are former Israeli units
donated to Jordan in 2014),” MaxDefense Philippines said in its Facebook post.

the transfer of AH-1S Cobra Attack helicopters donated by the Kingdom of Jordan
on June 3.
The SARO has an amount of PHP
158,204,428.00 “to cover the requirements for the transfer and acceptance of
two (2) units AH-1S Cobra Attack Helicopters from the Kingdom of Jordan under
the Revised AFP Modernization Program.”
There are also unconfirmed reports that the country is negotiating
with Jordan if it can still donate two more units of the AH-1S Cobra Attack
Helicopters to go along with the first two donated.
