Popular Post webfact Posted October 3, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2023 PRIME MINISTER SRETTHA Thavisin today (Oct.3) has suspended the procurement of any weapon systems during fiscal 2024 so that, he said, the government’s annual budget could be spent for optimum use. The prime minister said he has instructed the Ministry of Defence to keep any otherwise-planned procurement of weapon systems and accessories on hold throughout fiscal 2024, beginning on Oct.1, so an estimated 3.48 trillion baht budget worth of the taxpayer’s money will be used in optimum fashion. Not only the army, navy and air force but all other government agencies have been given the prime minister’s directive to suspend any otherwise-planned procurement of hardware materials and equipment as had been the case year in year out, according to the prime minister. “I don’t know about weapon systems which may refer to anything ranging from jet fighters and helicopters to ammunition, among others, but they all are to be put on hold for now.

Popular Post Gandtee Posted October 4, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 4, 2023 While I admire the Prime Minister's order to put the procurement of weapons on hold. I would suggest that he brings in stringent gun control to curb the ever increasing deaths and injuries caused by the civilian population weiding firearms. Thailand has killed more of its own population than any killed in any outside conflict in recent years.???? 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely agree...I can not understand why private gun ownership is not banned here and the carrying of guns of off-duty officers is more strictly controlled. For sure other neighboring countries can do and don't have kindergarten and mall shootings or shooting rampages triggered by lost loves and faces... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess this will go a long way in helping to pay the estimated 566 Billion Baht tab for the Digital Wallet election promise made by him The massive Bond sale later this Month will also help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spidermike007 Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 If he is sincere about this, which is questionable, the army must be pissed off, and doubting they chose the correct puppet for the job. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkski Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Its a travesty to have a contract that you buy a sub without some backout clause if they cant get the engine you specified. No way will USA sell (deleted) Thailand f35s! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinchester Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Good idea to put the Chinese sub purchase on hold after reports 55 Chinese submariners have died in an accident to one of their submarines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
