GAME CHANGER VS CHINESE WARSHIPS

GAME CHANGER VS CHINESE WARSHIPS. The other day I wrote at my blog 
that the Philippine government should purchase several High Mobility Artillery
 Rocket System ( HIMARS) because the U.S Marines in Clark Air Base told me that 
its missiles, guided by Global Positioning Satellites or GPS, could fly 160 kilometers
 and could HIT ACCURATELY Chinese warships at the West Philippines Seas.
In today’s evening news at the national TV, Filipino top defense officials mull to buy 
the HIMARS but they said the country face financial constraint.
One set of a truck with missiles, manufactured by Lockheed Martin, of HIMARS, 
the Marines told me, is 6 million U.S dollars or 282 million Ph pesos. If we buy 
10 of these monsters that would be a staggering 2.82 billion pesos for us Filipinos.
 Kaya bayad kayo ng exact tax sa BIR dahil dealine na bukas para may pambili
 ang government ng HIMARS.

I was discussing with a U.S Marine crew how the HIMARS operate in case war with the Chinese erupt.
Mabuti na lang bago ako pumunta sa Clark Air Base nabuksan ko ang ba-ol ng lolo ko at nagdala ako ng maraming English Words, sanamagan!! 
The M142 High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) is a U.S. light multiple rocket launcher mounted on a standard Army Medium Tactical Vehicle (MTV) truck frame. The HIMARS carries six rockets or one MGM-140 ATACMS missile on the U.S. Army's new Family of Medium Tactical Vehicles (FMTV) five-ton truck, and can launch the entire Multiple Launch Rocket System Family of Munitions (MFOM). HIMARS is interchangeable with the MLRS M270A1, carrying half the rocket load. The launcher is C-130 transportable. The chassis is produced by BAE Systems Mobility & Protection Systems (formerly Armor Holdings Aerospace and Defense Group Tactical Vehicle Systems Division), the OEM of the FMTV. The rocket launching system is produced by Lockheed Martin Missiles & Fire Control -WIKIPIDEA

HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System)

ME: How can the guided rockets of HIMARS (High Mobility Artillery Rocket System) hit the Chinese warships if one of this is posted at one of the islets of the Philippines at the South China Sea?
US. MARINE 1: They would be GPS (Global Positioning Satellite) guided.

ME: Oh, just like what the C.I.A backed Colombian government had done with the FARC guerillas when the Cessna propeller powered plane dropped those GPS guided 500 pound bombs at the guerrillas whose fire they used in cooking food betrayed them in nighttime.

(Click here to read how Columbia weakened and persuaded FARC top brass (salamabit, many of them died already with the guided bombs) to go to the negotiating table)  
Is the price of this monster (Himars) $5.1 million apiece?
MARINE 2: Naah, its $6 million apiece now.
ME: Philippine government should buy some these so we can sink those ships of the Chinks.

This babe at Clark Air Base, a U.S Air Force Captain flies that sanamagan giant AWACS or Boeing E-3
 Sentry a two engines jet , commonly known as an airborne early warning and control 
(AEW&C). She speaks fluent Tagalog because the parents came from Pangasinan.
"The first time I learned about those AWACS was when I was in high school reading those old 
stacks of Newsweek and Time Magazines of my (retired air force) father about the Israelis
 freaking out in the mid 1980s as they would be vulnerable after (U.S President Ronald) Reagan 
decided to sell the Saudi king five E-3 Sentry AWACS and eight KE-3 refueling aircraft, with 
spare parts,” I told the Aussie, whose English diction amused me since I did not know I 
was inside an Australian plane.
