Philippines Is Targeting 32 New Fighter Jets Under Horizon 3

As of early 2026, recent reports surrounding the MRF program reveal something important: the Philippine government was never chasing prestige purchases or small, high-priced packages. Instead, the Department of National Defense and the Philippine Air Force have been quietly working within a capped, clearly defined budget—one designed to deliver scale, sustainability, and long-term strategic value.
At the center of this effort is the idea of acquiring roughly three full fighter squadrons—around thirty-two to thirty-six aircraft—under Horizon 3 of the Armed Forces of the Philippines modernization program. This number is not arbitrary. It reflects doctrinal realities, regional airpower benchmarks, and the minimum mass required to conduct air defense, maritime strike, and deterrence operations across an archipelagic battlespace.
