The Philippine Air Force (PAF) bid farewell to two iconic combat aircraft, the AH-1 Cobra and OV-10 Bronco, during a decommissioning ceremony held at the Major Danilo Atienza Air Base in Sangley Point, Cavite, on Saturday, December 28.

12 月 28 日星期六，菲律賓空軍 (PAF) 在甲米地桑利角達尼洛阿蒂恩扎少校空軍基地舉行的退役儀式上告別了兩架標誌性戰鬥機 AH-1 眼鏡蛇和 OV-10 野馬。

The 15th Strike Wing (Trojans) conducted the ceremony, which was attended by Senior PAF officers including Major General Araus Robert Musico, Commander of the Air Combat Command, and Major Gen.Dennis Estrella, Commander of the Air Logistics Command.

第15打擊聯隊（特洛伊人）主持了儀式，出席儀式的包括空中作戰司令部司令阿勞斯·羅伯特·穆西科少將和空中後勤司令部司令丹尼斯·埃斯特雷拉少將等巴基斯坦空軍高級軍官。

Active and retired pilots and crew of both aircraft also graced the event, paying tribute to the invaluable service rendered by the Cobras and Broncos throughout their distinguished careers in the PAF.

兩架飛機的現役和退役飛行員和機組人員也出席了此次活動，向眼鏡蛇隊和野馬隊在巴基斯坦空軍的傑出職業生涯中提供的寶貴服務致敬。

The AH-1S Cobra holds the distinction of being the PAF's first dedicated attack helicopter. Two gunships were generously donated by King Abdullah II of Jordan in 2019 to bolster the country's internal security and counter-terrorism endeavors.

AH-1S 眼鏡蛇是巴基斯坦空軍第一架專用攻擊直升機。約旦國王阿卜杜拉二世於 2019 年慷慨捐贈了兩架武裝直升機，以支持該國的內部安全和反恐工作。

Throughout their service, the Cobras were extensively utilized in various combat missions, notably providing Close Air Support (CAS) during Oplan Polaris II in Baggao, Cagayan, and participating in Battlefield Air Interdictions during the “Oppord Kilo Uno” operation in Pantabangan, Nueva Vizcaya.

眼鏡蛇被廣泛用於各種作戰任務，特別是在卡加延的北極星 II 行動中提供近距離空中支援（CAS）。

Additionally, the Cobra undertook CAS missions in Abra and Cagayan, providing air support to ground troops in counter-insurgency (COIN) operations.

此外，眼鏡蛇在阿布拉和卡加延執行了 CAS 任務，在反叛亂 (COIN) 行動中為地面部隊提供空中支援。

On the other hand, the North American Rockwell OV-10 Bronco, a twin-turboprop, multi-role aircraft, served the PAF for nearly 40 years, having been introduced in 1991.

另一方面，北美羅克韋爾 OV-10 Bronco 是一款雙渦輪螺旋槳多用途飛機，自 1991 年推出以來，已為巴基斯坦空軍服役近 40 年。

Proven in the Vietnam War and the first Gulf War, the venerable Bronco, 41 of which were acquired from the US and Thailand, assumed a major role in CAS, COIN operations, and campaigns against various insurgent groups throughout the country.

久負盛名的 Bronco（其中 41 輛從美國和泰國購買）在越南戰爭和第一次海灣戰爭中得到了證明，在 CAS、COIN 行動以及打擊全國各地各種叛亂組織的行動中發揮了重要作用。

Flown by the 16th Attack Squadron and the 25th Composite Attack Squadron, the OV-10 is credited with a major role in Operation Thunder Bolt in 2000, the dismantling of the main stronghold of the Moro Islamic Liberation Front (MILF) as well as 2001 missions in Basilan and the 2006 Sulu Archipelago offensive.

OV-10 由第 16 攻擊中隊和第 25 綜合攻擊中隊駕駛，在 2000 年雷霆行動、拆除摩洛伊斯蘭解放陣線 (MILF) 主要據點以及 2001 年執行的任務中發揮了重要作用巴西蘭和2006年蘇祿群島攻勢。

The OV-10 also made history when the PAF's first two women combat pilots flew the Bronco.

當 PAF 首批兩名女性戰鬥飛行員駕駛野馬時，OV-10 也創造了歷史。

One of its last notable contributions was during the 2017 Battle of Marawi, where it conducted 88 air strikes, providing close air support to ground troops fighting Islamic State and Maute insurgents.

它最後的顯著貢獻之一是在 2017 年馬拉維戰役期間，它進行了 88 次空襲，為打擊伊斯蘭國和毛特叛亂分子的地面部隊提供近距離空中支援。

“The OV-10 Bronco’s 33 years of service, adaptability, and precision made it a symbol of resilience and dedication, remembered for its critical role in defending our nation,” the PAF said in a statement.

巴基斯坦空軍在聲明中表示：「OV-10 野馬33 年的服役經歷、適應性和精確性使其成為韌性和奉獻精神的象徵，因其在保衛國家方面發揮的關鍵作用而被人們銘記。 」

“The service of the Bronco and Cobra is marked by countless missions and operations, this firmly stands as a testament to the dedication and bravery of the pilots and crew who flew and maintained them. As they end their era in the skies of the Philippine Air Force, we positively move forward, building on the lessons learned and the successes achieved during the distinguished careers of these reputable platforms. They will remain symbols of resilience, adaptability, and unwavering commitment to the nation’s defense,” the PAF added.

「野馬和眼鏡蛇的服役經歷了無數的任務和行動，這有力地證明了駕駛和維護它們的飛行員和機組人員的奉獻精神和勇敢。當他們結束菲律賓空軍天空的時代時，我們將在這些信譽良好的平台的傑出職業生涯中吸取經驗教訓和取得成功的基礎上，積極向前邁進。它們將仍然是韌性、適應性和對國家國防堅定不移承諾的象徵，」巴基斯坦空軍補充道。
