Those are Philippine owned oil rigs. Most likely, the Americans would probably help with the conversion of those rigs to become a proper military outpost. Besides, America is not allowed by our law to construct any naval base inside our territory without our consent. Have you forgotten? China constructed a huge military base inside our EEZ. China should be the one castigated not the Americans. All our actions are in response to China.
Like it or not the Philippines sits right smack in the middle of the SCS. China wants control of all this area. The bulling will not stop until The Chinese have what they want. They consider Taiwan to be worth 200 million chinese lives. And these people want to control the world? Pathetic. The world better wake up in a hurry. Especially India and the US.
Its a sitting duck, merely a practice target for Chinese missils. If a war took place, even US carriers will stay 2000km away from Chinese shore. Pinays better hope these oil rig can run like a speed boat, or else. 😆
An useless move. Do you see N.Korea gives a fork about S.Korea, Japan and US combine? Was Philipine military as strong as S.Korea and Japan combine? China is at least 10 time military capacity than N. Korea, and you expect China to be scare of oil rig and missile bases in Philipine? These three countries Russia, China and US, will always win if the war broke out at their door step. All these useless moves were for political shows only, and has no military value.
This kind of floating base as also Suggested by some former Philippine Retired officers but the PH Government is short sighter or more on Talks than action and the government lack of budget.
Unfortunately, the Philippine government kicked the United States forces out when the Marcos regime ended. Since support from the Philippine government can quickly change, I like this idea. Oil rigs can be moved.
So, what is to stop a Chinese submarine from launching torpedoes as well as ship launched hypersonic missiles against these platforms? Not on China's side here, just making an observation!
This is most american thing ive seen so far in this war. Turn a oil rig into a base lol. Thats good old fashion thinking there. Use whats already there.
@@damongraham1398 I don't think it would be impossible to attach floating structures around the main rig or place two or more rigs close to each other to form a large floating base.
Given how stupid the upper echolons of the US government seem to be - it is QUITE likely that is the origin. It may even be because it is part of some strategic training course for admirals or some other crap the US pulls.
Philippines do Not have Cash. But they are Rich in Human and Oil Resources! International financial investors will be competeing with each other to get in on the Philippines oil boom, and all subsequent developement. It Is Now Philippines 'Turn' To 'Enjoy The Ride Up, Way Up, Into 1st World Class Status', (similar to what China enjoyed 1995-2018). GO PHILIPPINES!

This is really good as a deterrent defensive system 🙂 Using existing oil rigs will be very cost effective, I’m also looking forward to when we build more mobile floating defensive platforms (that will have ship hulls instead of pylons, with the same general footprint of an oil rig. These systems won’t move fast but they can move on the water, saving valuable coastline real estate and allowing for better customizable defensive coverage that can be a bit further off the coast and allow better intercept of missiles, drone swarms, and hostile ships / aircraft. They’re especially suited to the Philippines and Taiwan (especially Taiwan having limited island area)
Even Taiwanese military will laugh at these useless oil rigs in Philipine. 😆 Taiwanese knows, if the war broke out across Taiwan strait, within 12 hours all airports and missile bases will be wipe out on Taiwan island. These fixed missile bases are useless against China.
Those oil rigs will mitigate a huge problem for the U.S. Navy in the Pacific - how to rearm ships' vertical launch systems without returning to far away ports. This has the potential to more than quadruple the firepower of the U.S. Navy without building more ships. At the same time, the Navy is also developing a technique for reloading vertical launch systems at sea and while ships are underway.
Nope. Special Collier ships would - which you can move to harbors somewhere. These fortresses being unmoveable are one thing: targets. Using them to rearm VLRM is a dumbass idea - they will be taken out right at the start of the conflict. Big, stationary, so target. Welcome to any sub torpedo or hypersonic missile.
He who comes as a friend wraps up gifts with sincere love. He who intends to gate crash never comes with gifts of friendship, least of all love. Its not difficult to distinguish between the two!
There are technologies like satalite, drones and spy planes. US knows every military bases China has, and vice versa, China knows every military bases US has. 😆 These oil rigs are just practice targets, useless in real war.
ummm, oil rigs are highly static, what does she mean "mobile"? Sounds like a terrible idea, oild rigs are like shooting ducks in a barrel. Re:they cannot MOVE.
LOL you're confusing oil rigs with oil platforms. Oil platforms are fixed to the ocean floor, OIL RIGs are floating structures that use engines to keep themselves stationary.
That was a perfect udeas for rhe benefits of our PCG and serve as shelters only for our fishermens in rime of distress... Nice one and a perfect ideas!!..
😂 The exact same thought i had. We don't need the MF to fight THE whole war. But do sum damage and absorb Chinese munitions. Ion know who the Fuuk they thought they were playin wit... they would wana play lotto 🙄@omarionbayley9721
The Ph must let some oil rigs to be installed at spratleys and scarborough...as complement to mrf planes the rigs must be a fixed anchored resistance at sea..😂
Looks like a highly combustible static target. Unlike an island, it will sink too. Based on two minutes of consideration, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
Thank you, U.S.; THANK YOU INDIA ; THANK YOU JAPAN ; THANK YOU FRANCE ; CANADA; AUSTRALIA;QATAR; SAUDI; U.K.; GERMANY & ETC.FOR ALL YOUR HELP TO THE PHILIPPINES.GOD BLESS US ALL.KARMA WILL GET CHINA.
The Philippines needs to bring back the military bases inside the philippine territory and its exclusive economic zone. China will not stop bullying the Philippines devoid of military power.

TECHNICALLY THAT FLOATING FORTRESSES IS INSIDE THE PHILIPPINE TERRITORY
At least those were not permanent and it could deter illegal Chinese fisherman militia.
No need to shout buddy. They're trying to protect you.
doesnt matter, China did worse, they made artificial islands on someone elses territory, at least US had permission or right to do it
@@bappandi007As a filipino i agree with you and dont mind him buddy (PUTI KAG ITLOG 😂)

Also commonly known as targets.
So, what is to stop a Chinese submarine from launching torpedoes as well as ship launched hypersonic missiles against these platforms? Not on China's side here, just making an observation!
Well what stops that is the threat of war with the US and it's allies, so let China try and see what happens.
same can be said about the Chinese ones in the shoals..
China doesn't have the gumption to be honest
that is if they can get near them first, missiles can be counter by their air defense but the problem is probably those submarines
america ships can detect subs and launch torpedos at subs
We need that. for a nice tourist spots
No real point in being anything but early warning stations.. just sitting targets.
goodnews for the Philippines a floating fortress by USA they'd made island concrete fortress before in the Philippines in WWII
on 1 hand they are floating targets 😂😂
They probably got the idea from the beached BRP Sierra Madre
Its idea came from a movie
@@roddizon2242 that movie was based on an actual militarized island by the US, long before the beached Sierra Madre and before WW2.
Bright idea!
Nah this is wild 😂😂
This madness
@@SmilingCoastline-vb9ez the opposite.🤷🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
This is most american thing ive seen so far in this war. Turn a oil rig into a base lol. Thats good old fashion thinking there. Use whats already there.
Most importantly this oil rig will be used for its main purpose: to extract petroleum and natural gas. Win win for the Philippines and US.
is it possible for them to drill and pump oil and still be a re arming and refueling military base? My first guess is no.
@@damongraham1398 I don't think it would be impossible to attach floating structures around the main rig or place two or more rigs close to each other to form a large floating base.
Wouldnt this be a sitting duck for torpedoes?
I'm sure that they'll have a robust defense systems.
As seen from the Ukraine war, they can take a fair amount of damage.
Philippines power👏
That's good because it can be relicated anywehere in the west Phil. sea or near Ayungin shoal and Bajo de Masinloc.
they got this idea from red alert 3 the empire floating fortress.
No Red Alert 3 got the idea from the military.

Makes no difference whether the target is moving or stationary. Modern weaponry could hit any target.

Artificial island US version
love this idea!
The bigger surprise is why this wasn't done decades ago, especially for amphibious operations.
More floating fortress to build
Stationary floating targets are easier to target and hit, despite defenses, than moving floating targets.
So indirectly USA holding the oil resources in the region 😅
After spending many lives fighting for the philippines, do you think they will just give it to the chinese?
