gunner1 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 pray tell, what are the Thai's going to do with a submarine? and whatever happened to the never sail aircraft carrier that was suposed to be used? no aircraft for the carrier and I do not remember it ever sailing anywhere. Only in Thailand! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrJ2U Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 It's difficult to get out of contracts especially with China. By the time they get them they'll be outdated and to costly to run and maintain. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aussienam Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Australia- buying nuclear powered subs from the US - threatened by China that we are now a nuclear target (despite not being armed with nuclear weapons). Thailand- buying their subs from China - staying aligned with the CCP. Just like their COVID vaccines early on - made in China. Everything to appease the CCP and ensure when war eventually occurs they won't be invaded (well ... good luck with that). Will Thailand also declare war on the West (like in WWII when Japan occupied Thailand)? I can see a future of war with interned expats stuffed into camps awaiting their organs to be removed for Chinese citizens. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thingamabob Posted June 25, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted June 25, 2022 This is a perfectly logical purchase. Why buy a submarine with an engine if it's not going anywhere ? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AgMech Cowboy Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Dear Prime Minister, I support you and your government's desire to purchase (a) submarine(s) for coastal defense... But from the Chinese... Really??? Talk to France, they're probably looking for a country to replace the Australian deal and they won't come with a remote shut down and spy package. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mansell Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 Where is this phantom enemy they would need submarines for? It’s like the hi-tech fighter planes they own….for what? The only country that could be a threat is China….and they could buy the country cheaper than fighting Thailand. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A second thought (after the first thought only business/money/bribes related) might be to play an allied force in the upcoming war for the South China Sea / Taiwan. I expect this to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtrnuno41 Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 I see similarities, a line in it all. Subs with no engine and stripped F35's who cant handle any weapons. Wasting money What is next? A tank without a canon? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mises Posted June 25, 2022 Share Posted June 25, 2022 (edited) If the submarines are completed you cannot fit the engines. No bonnet or removable chassis. For some bonnet means hood. Edited June 25, 2022 by Mises 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trainman34014 Posted June 26, 2022 Share Posted June 26, 2022 Kick out Prayut and his fellow bunch of Gangsters from Government House and the order will most likely get cancelled; causing extreme ebarassment to him and his Cohorts, as they would all have to pay back the contents of the huge Brown Envelopes they recieved ! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
