October 25, 2025: Harop Loitering Munition FSMU at ADAS 2024
I felt privileged to have finally seen a Full Scale Mock Up (FSMU) of the Harop Loitering Munition made by the Company “Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI)” during the Asian Defense and Security (ADAS) 2024 Event in Pasay.
The Harop was extensively used and with great effectiveness by Azerbaijan against Armenia in their recent Conflicts, particularly during the “2020 Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict”. Their effectiveness in Combat helped usher in the Era of Drone Warfare which we are seeing now in the Russian Invasion of Ukraine.
The Harop has a range of up to 200 km and an Endurance or Loiter Time of around 6 to 9 Hours.
October 25, 2024: PAF C-130J Super Hercules Model at ADAS 2024
A Scale Model of the C-130J-30 Super Hercules Transport Aircraft of the Philippine Air Force (PAF) shown at the Lockheed Martin Corporation Booth during the recent Asian Defense and Security (ADAS) 2024 Event in Pasay.
The Notice to Proceed (NTP) for the acquisition of three of these Aircraft was released last Year of 2023, and each one is worth around Usd 130 million. Delivery will start in 2026.
Here is the Link to my “The rhk111 Military and Arms Page” Website providing more Details about the Super Hercules acquisition: https://therhk111militaryandarmspage.blogspot.com/2024/07/military-equipment-acquisitions-under-marcos-jr-administration.html
One of the most impressive Exhibits for me at the recent Asian Defense and Security (ADAS) 2024 Event was this Full Scale Mock-Up (FSMU) of the C-Star Anti-Ship Missile (AShM) shown on the Booth of the Naval Research and Technology Development Center (NRTDC).
You can truly appreciate its huge Size and see a lot of Detail in it. The C-Star is the very first Purpose-built AShM of the Philippine Navy (PN), and is used on their Jose Rizal-class Guided Missile Frigates. I think the PN should get more of these C-Star FSMUs so they can display it in their various Units and Museums.
On a related Note, as per the Representatives of the Hanwha Group that I talked to at the Event also, this Version being used on the PN Ships are the “C-Star 2” which only has AshM Capability. The next Version, the “C-Star 3” which I think is still in Development will have both Anti-Ship and Land Attack Capability.
