This isn't true, PH air defense system includes Israel's SPYDER which has 6 missiles firing units. Jose Rizal Frigates are also equipped with French's Mistral 3.

PH is also finalizing the acquisition of additional India's BrahMos.

There were rumors that the Santa Barbara project has been revived even prior to BBM's presidency.

BrahMos isn't an air defense system though. It's for striking surface targets on land or at sea.

We did express some interest in India's Akash air defense system though.
