Philippines negotiating for 12 A-50A Fighters...

KAI is currently conducting final negotiations with the Philippines for the sale of 12 FA-50 aircraft at a cost of PHP18.9bn ($463.3m), to help the country's air force to counter airborne threats and also train its pilots on supersonic high-performance weapons platforms.
Whoever the salesman is for the Super Tucano needs to be fired.  This should have been an easy sale for them.  I realize that the Philippines have an eye on China but the bigger threat is from the terrorist they're fighting in the hills around Manilla.
