Thai Air Force Poised to Select Swedish Gripen Jet
File: Saab JAS 39 Gripen. Courtesy: Wikipedia The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has neared a crucial decision to upgrade its fleet, with indications suggesting a preference for the Swedish-made Gripen fighter jet. According to RTAF commander Air Chief Marshal Panpakdee Pattanakul’s announcement on Monday, a final decision is anticipated by the end of the week. Two fighter jets are under consideration: Sweden’s Gripen E and America’s F-16 Block 70. Saab AB, the Gripen’s manufacturer, and Lockheed Martin, producer of the F-16, have both submitted their final proposals, meeting the Thai government's offset policy requirements, according to Bangkok Post. To ensure a meticulous evaluation, the RTAF has set up two panels to scrutinise the proposals. These panels’ assessments will guide the final decision, ACM Panpakdee stated. Despite the official process not yet culminating, sources indicate a strong lean towards the Gripen. The main procurement committee reportedly favours the Swedish jet. Earlier assessments, conducted by the RTAF’s procurement committee in July, highlighted the Gripen as the most suitable option based on the air force's strategic needs. One significant factor driving this preference is the comprehensive offset policy offered by Saab AB. This includes access to Saab’s tactical data link technology, which is highly valued by the RTAF for future integration. The air force has plans to develop its own version of this technology, named Link T. Additionally, the Swedish offer includes a free upgrade of the RTAF’s 340 AEW air security surveillance radar system. This upgrade is valued at approximately five billion baht, presenting a notable bonus in favour of the Gripen. As the RTAF awaits the new cabinet's approval of its selection, there is optimism that the forthcoming decision will align with the air force's long-term strategic objectives. This major procurement will likely bolster Thailand’s defence capabilities significantly. -- 2024-08-27 Get the ASEAN NOW daily NEWSLETTER - Click HERE to subscribe -

Blood Pressure Medication
I too eat these, but I grind them up in a coffee grinder, as I read the body sometimes cannot digest them with the husks complete. Bought on Lazada by the kilo bag, dirt cheap. -

Is it better to buy or rent property in Thailand as an expat?
Quite. Condos and houses are chalk and cheese and profit is not the only horse in the race, quality of life should be the odds on favourite. I was 62 when I decided to build my own house in 2009, on my wife's land so effectively gifted. Cost just under 1M to build and have probably spent about 300K on maintenance. After nearly 15 years, if I peg it tomorrow it hasn't really cost me much, about 7K/month. How would that compare to the rent on a 100 sq mtr, 2 bed detached bungalow. A real bonus of having your own place is a built in hobby.
