Antipolo Magazine 2020 On January 30, 2019, Roger Tanner and Bill Gray piloted the Variable Stability In-Flight Simulator Test Aircraft (VISTA) from Hill Air Force Base, Utah, to Edwards Air Force Base following modifications and a new paint scheme. The aircraft was redesignated from NF-16D to X-62A on June 14, 2021 (U.S. Air Force photo by Christian Turner). Recently, U.S. Air Force Secretary Frank Kendall flew aboard an experimental F-16 Fighting Falcon fighter jet equipped with artificial intelligence. This development has raised concerns for the People’s Republic of China, as AI-piloted combat aircraft could offer superior capabilities and faster response times compared to human-piloted planes.   Notably, this is not the first instance of testing an AI-controlled aircraft. In mid-April, the experimental X-62A VISTA, based on an F-16 fighter and used for AI testing, participated in simulated aerial combat against other F-16 fighters of the United States Air Force.

The acquisition of BrahMos cruise missiles from India is hailed as a significant enhancement to the Philippines' national security, as stated by Philippine Ambassador Josel Francisco Ignacio. Ambassador Ignacio lauds the BrahMos missiles as a cornerstone of "credible deterrence" and a "milestone" for the Philippines, underscoring the nation's emphasis on this newfound capability.


Moreover, the Ambassador underscores that the acquisition represents a recognition of India's defense industry and capability, signaling an increasing trust and partnership between the two nations in the defense sector.

Amidst ongoing tensions in the South China Sea, where China asserts expansive territorial claims, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian nations find themselves in disputes with China. The addition of BrahMos missiles, renowned for their speed and precision, significantly bolsters the Philippines' military prowess in the region.


This acquisition not only deepens the strategic partnership between India and the Philippines but also marks India's maiden export of the BrahMos missile, showcasing its burgeoning defense industry and technological advancements. For the Philippines, it signifies a diversification of military partnerships and access to cutting-edge weaponry.

Given the broader geopolitical implications, this development is poised to garner keen attention from other regional players, particularly those with similar concerns regarding China's assertive actions in the South China Sea.


The Philippines proudly embraces the introduction of BrahMos missiles, heralding it as a historic milestone that solidifies the robust alliance with India. This cutting-edge addition to their defense arsenal not only serves as a potent deterrent but also symbolizes a shared commitment to regional stability and security. Furthermore, it highlights the synergy and technological prowess achieved through the collaborative efforts between the Philippines and India, paving the way for greater advancements and cooperation in the future.

India's Deep-Water Port Investment in Philippines: Strengthening Strategic Position Next to China.

Antipolo Magazine 2020  India's latest move to invest in a deep-water port in the Philippines underscores its strategic positioning in key maritime hubs. With investments already in Iran, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Oman, this expansion solidifies India's presence and strengthens its strategic stance vis-à-vis China. For years, China has pursued a "string of pearls" strategy, establishing infrastructure projects and staging posts across the Middle East and Asia to bolster its strategic influence and naval access. This initiative was later rebranded as the Maritime Silk Road. In 2024, India made significant strides in port investments abroad. Following Sri Lanka's experience of falling into a debt trap due to Chinese investments, the Sri Lankan government opted for Indian funding to renovate the Kankesanturai Port in the Northern Province. In a strategic move, India, in collaboration with a Russian firm, secured management rights for Sri Lanka's Mattala Rajapa
