Thailand's Defense Technology Institute (DTI) has started trials of a locally produced version of Elbit Systems' multicalibre Precise and Universal Launching System (PULS).

 

The DTI said on 27 September 2022 that trials of the prototype platform – named the D11A Multi-Purpose Rocket and Missile Launcher – took place recently at the Royal Thai Army's (RTA's) artillery firing range in Lopburi, central Thailand.

 

The DTI, the Ministry of Defence's research and development arm, said initial trials were focused on testing the D11A's performance and stability, and its ability to meet the Thai armed forces' “tactical requirements”.

Will they be selling them to Russia in return for Russia allowing there people to visit Thailand, asking for my Chinese friends Lhasa Apso.

No one wants to go to war with Thailand, it's not worth it. Just a complete boondoggle.

Point it at China!

Time to buy a steel umbrella...

Really?  More waste of tax dollars. Will it ever stop?  What country is ready and willing to invade Thailand, or who even cares about Thailand.  Wasting billions pandering to the Generals to pad their bank accounts and keep Pray-hoot unchallenged as PM.

Which are zero.

Save money and use bamboo, its cheaper and can be transported easily 

These guns will be useless in Bangkok.

Shame they don't start Trials of laying decent Road and Pavement Surfaces instead of the rubbish they lay now !   They could also spend money on teaching people to build Homes and Factories properly, on Road Safety TV Adverts instead of the mindless drivel that interupts programs all too often and on actually teaching people to drive properly and pass worthwhile tests !

 

At least a Hundred other area's to spend money more worthwhile than Military Weapons only ever used to suppress their own people.
