The Flag Officer in Command (FOIC) of the Philippine Navy (PN), Vice Admiral Jose Ezpeleta recently announced during a Press Conference that they will doing a Live-Fire Test of the three of five Missile Systems that they have at the Moment next Month on April 21, 2025 in Mariveles, Bataan.
These three Systems are:
The C-Star Anti-Ship Missile (AShM), the primary Anti-Ship Missile of the Jose Rizal class Guided Missile Frigates;
The Spike Non Line of Sight (NLOS), the primary Weapon of the Acero-class Fast Attack Interdiction Craft-Missile (FAIC-M);
And the Mistral 3, the primary Anti-Air Weapon of the Jose Rizal class Frigates
The PN also has the Spike Extended-Range (ER), the primary Weapon of the Multi-Purpose Attack Craft Mark 3 (MPAC MKIII), but these have been test fired several times before already.
The Philippine Marine Corps (PMC) is technically a Part of the PN, so their BrahMos AshMs counts as under the PN. There were announcements made last Year of 2024 about it being Test-fired, but no News about that came out in the Philippines up to now.
