If memory serves, Saudi Arabia ordered a bunch of them (more than 8...) for about half the price of the current deal. That was a few years back.

Moo 2 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Of all those weaponry bought by the Thai government, (remember Prayut was an army General before) the only things that could be useful are night vision goggles, seeing that they are planning to extend bars and pubs closing time to 4am, I can see the potential for chasing illegal drinkers through the streets of Bangkok.

Do not worry. I have faith that eventually the youth will wrestle control away from the hapless, incompetent and utterly useless army. There are some elements of the Thai youth that are impressive. Far more engaged than the previous generation, that is beyond politically apathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meechai Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 After seeing this "story" a Pentagon bean counter is scratching his head. Wondering why looking at what they charged Thailand & his conversion of USD to Baht translates the bill of goods to 8 Billion Baht ???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevinmartyn Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 I really cannot understand this fruitless expenditure on promoting violence and WAR by the Thai Military in Thailand. Surely this massive amount of money could have been used far better in helping the "POOR" or recent "Flood" victims around Thailand! Sounds like the Thai Military is gearing up for full out confrontation against its Thai Nationals, since it recently also spent large sums buying 120 Armour plated anti personnel vehicles also from USA!

johnmcc6 Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 Meanwhile the poor are being driven out of their homes by flood waters and farmers are near collapse with the high baht but all the boys can do is add to their toys. This is what happens when Thai's sell their vote for a few baht to the corrupt politicians. It will be generations before this country gets anywhere close to democracy.
