Every anti-ship/sub and aircraft missile that the Philippines armed forces get, is one more possible retardant against Red Chinese naval aggression in the South China seas and related bodies of water.
Hell, I wish they had 50 armed helicopters and 50 ships. That would put a real hurt on Peking’s plans.
The reported costs don’t make sense. Two helicopters are 1/3 the cost of two frigates?
