Barely enough to secure a route, say, from the city centre to the airport!

Iron Tongue Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 You guys are all too cynical! Don't you realize that wheeled IFVs are much more forgiving on paved roads if ever called-upon to defend against popular protests? The tanks and APCs formerly used would just tear the roads apart! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sydebolle Posted August 9, 2022 Share Posted August 9, 2022 Thailand is finally ready for Putin's or Xi's invasion - unclear though is, do they come with engines? If you see, how the legalized junta is cannoning money into toys-of-boys for no apparent reason or threat, if you compare the ex works price to the landed Thailand price ....... The envelopes must have been moved by gooseneck trailers ever since 2014 ........... But, as said before, Thailand belongs to the Thais - your call! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they've been used for what? A lot of money that could have been spent on the people. Well, I suppose it was really, as the only ones the army fights are fellow Thais. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
