The Navy has officially submitted a proposal this week to the parliamentary budget committee considering the fiscal budgets for the 2022 year, which if approved, would give final approval to the purchase of the submarines. According to Admiral Chettha Jaipiam, a spokesperson for the RTN, the purchase is part of the “duty” of the Royal Thai Navy to protect the country.

Popular Post mtls2005 Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 So now, after 70+ years it's "their duty". Honestly who do they think believes this rubbish. submariners were on the outs since the Manhattan Rebellion (1951), and only with a successsion were they allowed a new toy. Now they're making up for lost time. And appear to have no shame as the country they have sworn to defend is swirling down the bowl. 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caving now would be a sign of weakness. And he already thinks he's the hero. No, they'll just push this forward, but keep the orders on the books. But the folly of purchasing submarines now is not inspiring confidence in the public. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Silencer Posted July 18, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 18, 2021 Would love to see the threat assessment and war plans that call for submarines as the answer. Amphibious assault, off-shore pounding from destroyers, submarine warfare, protecting vital shipping channels, drug interdiction? Who is attacking? Why subs vs. surface ships? Where do the subs hide in the shallow Gulf in such scenarios? Who has ever threatened Thailand by sea? No military credible reason for this deal but we all already know that. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
