Philippine frigates to get weapon
upgrades, it looks like gift came early for our two Philippine lead frigates.
The BRP Alcaraz and BRP del Pilar
were set to be fitted with 2 38 Model Mark 225 millimeter “Bushmaster” with
automatic cannons as its first ever arms upgrades.
Lt. Commander Domingo of the Philippine
Navy Chief of Public Affairs Office, said that “BRP Gregorio del Pilar will have its
upgrades installed at the end of the year as support weapons for its main one,
the 76 mm Oto Melara automatic cannon.”
“Both vessels are programmed for
upgrades in terms of sensors and firepower to revive their original
capabilities,” the chief said.
“Philippine Navy Upgrade was the
first priority in order to protect our country in terms of security threat.
We want to make them stronger, and of
course to protect itself and the Philippines against whoever the adversary is,”
Domingo said.
It is better to add more
firepower to our warships and if we can add more we will certainly do it and equipped
our ships in seas.
