webfact Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 Army receives first batch of Stryker infantry carrier vehicles By The Nation Photo Courtesy of Facebook.com/SMARTSoldiersStrongArmy/ The first four Stryker M1126 eight-wheeled armoured infantry carrier vehicles were delivered to the Royal Thai Army earlier this week and six more will gradually arrive, in time for the September 12 ceremony to hand over the vehicles to the Army. Royal Thai Army Commander-in-Chief General Apirat Kongsompong, along with Admiral Phil Davidson, commander of the United States Indo-Pacific Command, were present at Don Mueang Military Airport, Wing 6, in Bangkok to welcome a US Air Force Boeing C-17 Globemaster, which transported the four Strykers from Hawaii to Thailand, said the Army’s Facebook page Facebook.com/SmartSoldiersStrongArmy/. The Thai government had approved the procurement of 37 Stryker vehicles at about Bt80 million each, or a total of Bt2.96 billion, to be commissioned mainly at the 11th Infantry Division in Chachoengsao’s Tha Takiap district and other military units.

oxforddiver Posted August 30, 2019 Share Posted August 30, 2019 I think the quick work by the US to deliver the first by plane has more to do with the evolving threat in Cambodia, 'CamChi' or 'ChiCam' new harbour /military base. Bit like a game of chess. It would be interesting to be a fly on the wall to hear the discussions of the US Asia Defence chiefs and how they see it developing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
