Where he banged on the table and demanded that the loyalty of the Navy was not to be taken for granted. At this point the rest of the Junta pointed out that the existing fleet was not much of a threat... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teacherclaire Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Thailand needs a better education, better government officials, better engineers, better beer, better wine, better people without losing their face over nothing, mechanics who know that the engine isn't part of the solar system, teachers, who know their subjects and do not hit students, or molest them. A Ministry of Education with people who have a healthy knowledge on that topic, farmers with a much better income and education. Thais with a mindset that foreigners do not come to Thailand because they can't get a job, or a woman elsewhere. They need a lot more better educated doctors who are able to do emergency operations, also on weekends, but with a positive outcome. Cops who do their work and less dead riders of motorbikes, people who know that a helmet is for protection of the brain, Immigration officers who can differentiate between a criminal and an ex-pat, pilots who understand English well enough to fly international routes, mechanics who know how to fix things and not just make it run again for a day, or two. The list could go on and on for ages. But what they NOT need are freaking submarines. I've never had a quality item from China. A submarine from China would only be an expensive coffin. .

hotchilli Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 13 hours ago, Stevemercer said: Thailand will need to eventually acquire the other two submarines if it intends to build an operational capability. One sub might do for training, but a minimum of 3 is needed to keep one on operational patrol. The other two will be in dock for maintenance, repairs, upgrades etc. I always assumed a key reason to acquire subs is so Thailand can develop a credible anti-submarine warfare capability. If there is a threat from other submarines, then Thailand needs to be able to defend its marine assets against that threat. To develop anti-sub warfare Thailand needs its own subs to practice with. Please tell what other nation is going to attack Thailand with submarines? Or you have some inside knowledge of an imminent attack up the Chao Phraya?

All of its neighbours have submarines. Of course it needs an anti-submarine warfare capability. The military would be negligent if it didn't develop this. It is not something you can buy off the shelf if a threat develops. It needs at least 10 years to develop and maintain a credible capability.
