U.S. Will Donate Thousands of Military Vehicles to Philippines if China Continues to Insist
The Philippine military gets armored personnel carriers from its ally. The Philippines is receiving 114 armored vehicles from its ally, the United States, as the Southeast Asian state seeks to modernize its military. This will continue to happen if China continues to push into disputed areas. The U.S. government transferred 77 units of M113A2 armored personnel carriers (APCs) to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) on December 9 and will continue. A second shipment with the remaining units was scheduled to arrive later in the month. This would be a good step considering the South China Sea dispute, which has not yet been resolved.
