Guerilla warfare is the most practical method. You can't expect to outright beat the invading forces this way. The main goal is more about making the occupation too costly to be worth it.
Super agree. That is what Vietnam did! It cost way too much for USA to occupy..

I have been following reviews on war games where the US would fight a smaller country. What I find surprising is how ingenious generals are when it comes to tactics on tackling a US Nacy Fleet.

One general used the mosque prayer broadcast system to coordinate attacks which caught the generals playing as the US off guard and unable to find out how they are coordinating

One general used small suicide attack boats that are hard to hit which destroyed or disabled the billion dollar carriers. This has made the US upgrade their CWIS to open fire on small boats effectively (FYI I believe the Ukranians have tried to do this on a frigate on Sevastopol, the attack helicopters were having such a difficult time destroying the suicide drone boats).

One country has halted the US advance using fast pick up trucks with armor piercing munitions to run behind the flanks of the US in the war on Afghanistan.

Ukraine, is now using drones rigged with droppable bombs to scatter the Russian bodies everywhere. (Ukraine is making significant advances as of today but the world is still watching if Russia would press the big red button since they are losing big time)

I am now wondering how we (Philippines) could potentially defend our country being an archipelago. I find this difficult since we have a weak navy and airforce, in an ongoing civil war with communist rebels and radical muslim elements. Don't get me wrong, I support our soldiers but I am afraid the government has abandoned them by importing outdated Nth hand military surplus meanwhile there is rampant corruption.
The best way I think is to be diplomatic…be friends to anyone…at kagaya ng ginawa ni Duterte..hindi sya kampi sa kahit anong bansa..nanatiling neutral…kasi ayaw nyang mapahamak ang Pilipinas sa girian ng China at US…hindi natin kailangan mkipag gyera lalot wala tayong kakayanang lumaban…sa basketball palng hindi na tayo manalo nalo…sa gyera pa kaya…

I think the best we could do is guerilla warfare once the enemy has established a foothold. Our Navy could be 5 times bigger and we would still have a hard time securing our shores vs an invasion.

Ang madaling sagot diyan ay di kaya yan haha. Ang pinakamagagawa lang diyan ay ang pagkampi sa mga malalakas na bansa. Pwede rin ang appeal sa UN.
