Philippines replaces its aging fighter jets and advanced helicopters.

Broncos and Cobras Bid Farewell: A New Era in Philippine Skies
A meaningful farewell ceremony was held by the Philippine Air Force’s 15th Strike Wing on December 28, 2024. The event marked the official decommissioning of two legendary air assets, the OV-10 Bronco light attack aircraft and the AH-1S Cobra attack helicopter. The two aircraft have played a vital role in maintaining the security of the Philippine skies over the years.
The OV-10 Bronco, known for its distinctive engine sound, has dominated the Philippine skies since the 1970s. It was relied upon for counter-insurgency operations and close air support missions. However, with the acquisition of modern aircraft such as the A-29B Super Tucano, the retirement of the OV-10 became inevitable.
On the other hand, the AH-1S Cobra, although relatively new to the Philippine Air Force after being acquired from Jordan in 2019, is also entering its retirement period. This attack helicopter is known as one of the most reliable air combat platforms in the world, despite its age.
The AH-1S Cobra was once the mainstay in air attack missions before the arrival of the modern T-129 ATAK attack helicopter. However, its operational sustainability seems to be hampered by high maintenance costs and increasingly limited availability of spare parts.
