Popular Post snoop1130 Posted June 24, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 24, 2022 PHOTO: Thaipost Prime Minister Prayut Chan-O’Cha said that the purchase deal of submarines with China was ongoing and still has time for engine procurement after they insisted to purchase the submarines currently without “engines”. In April, the government insisted on buying a 13.5-billion-baht submarine from China Shipbuilding & Offshore International without Germany’s MTU396 diesel engines despite the fact that the German company had stopped exporting its engines to China due to the country’s use for military purposes. The issue was brought into discussion in a debate again today by government oppositional parties. The Prime Minister stated in response that the purchase deal is still in line with the contract which still has 60 days remaining to complete the purchase.

I think it’s reasonable… Xi is trying to save them some money as he know that since there is no use for it other than show off, so why need to waste money on engine. It’s a fair deal Supreme leader…. 11 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moogradod Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Do the Russians not supply at least an initially working submarine engine of their own production ? Doubt they would use MTU. Then this could be used for it is evident that (at least) one more submarine is essential for Thailand. Or is it not ? They just should not forget to bring enough diesel to make it run before they dive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would make it dive well with all the extra weight but surfacing again?
