Philippine Navy Naval Air Wing combat record

The only operation documented for the navy’s aircraft in the sources reached is the South China Sea patrol mission, which the Philippines calls the West Philippine Sea. The waters are claimed in whole or in part by China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Malaysia, Brunei and the Philippines; a 2016 arbitral award favoured Manila and China does not recognise it. In May 2026 China said its patrols near Scarborough Shoal answered “rights violations and provocative acts”, which the Philippine military rejected. Counter-insurgency flying is not listed because no sourced account of it was found.
