The dream for the country’s credible defense posture is
slowly but surely shaping up.
It was announced that the highly anticipated first two of
three SPYDER air defense missile systems will be delivered by the end of the
year.

"The SPYDER Philippines Air Defense System is very much
on time, delivery will be earlier than scheduled (January 2023), it will be in
the country by end of November to the first week of December. The project is
for three batteries, the first delivery will be two batteries," Air Force
spokesperson Col. Maynard Mariano said.
SPYDER is short for Surface-to-Air Python and Derby
mobile-air defense system that was developed by the Israeli defense technology
firm, Rafael Advanced Defense Systems, with assistance from Israel Aerospace
Industries.
Mariano added that the last SPYDER
battery will be delivered along with a missile maintenance facility which will
be built in the Philippines, giving military personnel the capability to
maintain the weapon system.
"We have upgraded the
program, the last battery will be delivered with a missile maintenance facility
to be built in the country at no expense to the government. There will be a
technology transfer that goes with this and it will make us capable of
maintaining missile systems and will greatly help in the sustainment of the
program," Mariano said.
