Philippines gets US military helicopters_我的网站

一 | 研究人员最近在《 Journal of Fish Biology》上发表了一份关于迄今为止发现的最大鱼类的报告。他们发现的生物总重量为6049磅,高约12英尺,长约11英尺,是迄今为止捕获的最大的骨鱼。 Manila, Oct 21 (UNI) Manila will seek to have at least some of the reported $32m Russian helicopter deal down payment refunded by Moscow.
Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos Jr has said his country will source military helicopters from the United States after scrapping a $215m deal to buy 16 similar heavy-lift helicopters from Russia over fears of sanctions following Moscow’s invasion of Ukraine, reports BBC.
Manila will also seek to have Moscow return at least part of a multimillion-dollar deposit for the now-cancelled batch of Russian Mi-17 helicopters, Marcos Jr said on Thursday, in his first public comments on the touchy issue involving Russia.
“We have secured an alternative supply (for heavy-lift helicopters) from the United States,” Marcos Jr, who was elected president in May, said at a business forum.
“Unfortunately, we made a down payment (to the Russian manufacturer) that we are hoping to negotiate to get at least a percentage of that back,” he said.
“But the deal as it stood maybe at the beginning of or in the middle of last year has already been cancelled.”
On Wednesday, the Russian ambassador to the Philippines, Marat Pavlov, told the local media that his government had not been officially informed of the contract cancellation and considered the helicopter deal valid.
Production continued on fulfilling the order to deliver the Mi-17s, the ambassador said, adding that one had been ready for delivery since June.
The government of Marcos Jr’s predecessor Rodrigo Duterte signed the deal with Moscow in November 2021, but Duterte backed out of the agreement in the months following Russia’s invasion of Ukraine in February and the imposition of wide-ranging sanctions on Russia.
Marcos did not specify which US helicopters were chosen as the alternative to the Mi-17s, only that they will be manufactured in Poland.
The Philippine ambassador in Washington, Jose Romualdez, told reporters in August that Manila was looking at Chinooks to replace the Mi-17s.
The Boeing CH-47 Chinook could be the possible replacement for the Mi-17s, which the Philippines requires for combat missions, search and rescue, and medical evacuation, the ambassador said at the time.
The US deal – which matched the price agreed with Russia – would also include maintenance services and parts, terms that were not included in the deal with Russia, defence officials told local media organisation GMA News.

二 | 该研究的第一作者告诉表示,这是一个“雄伟的标本”,如果能看到它活着那么将是不可思议的。这条新发现的太阳鱼比以前的最大鱼纪录保持者约重1000磅,后者的重量略高于5000磅,是1996年在日本千叶海岸捕获的。

三 | 研究人员不确定是什么杀死了这条巨大的鱼,然而在它的头骨上发现了一个凹陷以及凹陷处有红色油漆的痕迹--可能是跟船只发生碰撞造成。不幸的是,确切的死因还不清楚。不过清楚的是,这个有史以来最大鱼类的新纪录保持者只是我们最近在海洋中的许多发现之一。此前,研究人员在海底深处发现了一种由蓝色粘液组成的生物。在此之前,研究人员首次捕捉到了一种罕见的水母的镜头。而像这种巨型标本的太阳鱼对人类来说并不完全陌生。事实上,它们可以在世界各地的水族馆中找到。如果你好奇为什么太阳鱼会叫这个名字,这跟它的形状没有关系。

四 | 相反,它之所以被命名是因为它在寒冷的深海中游泳后喜欢晒太阳。
