Just a look at the Multi Purpose Attack Craft (MPAC) Mk 1 with Hull Number BA-482 and MPAC Mk 2 with Hull Number BA-485 recently. These are some of the earliest MPACs of the Philippine Navy (PN), BA-482 having been commissioned into Service in 2009 while BA-485 was commissioned in 2012.
So both Vessels have now been in Service with the PN for over a Decade now. The MPAC Mk 1 and Mk 2 are armed with .50 caliber Heavy Machine Guns (HMG) and 7.62 mm caliber Light Machine Guns (LMG) and can reach speeds of at least 74 kph.
