He confirmed that the Air Force is on standard alert, with aircraft ready to launch defensive operations within five minutes if a conflict arises.

 

What good is being ready in 5 minutes when it takes a Thai jet 30 minutes to get to the border to investigate a plane flying there? 

The last 2 times this happened it took them 30 minute to get to that area and by then the planes were gone.

The US revolution had the Minutemen.  They were given that name because when called to orders they'd say "wait a minute."

 

 

The above is not true, but LOS should be given their own version of this with their 5-minute reaction time.

Providing the enemy doesn't attack between 12 - 1pm.

Back in the 1960s the QRA alert was for 2 aircraft fully fuelled and armed, on the QRA pan 24/7/365. That meant 2 aircrew and 1 ground crew team per 8 hour shift. Highly expensive in manpower and airframe time, as most of the time they were never called out.

 

The nearest Thai airbase to the Myanmar border is at Nakhon Sawan, and is less than 100km away. I estimate that as about 20 minutes from the scramble call out. That assumes of course that there is 24/7/365 radar cover along all the Myanmar border.

 

5 minutes is a tad optimistic for an alert status, especially as Thailand is not officially at war with anyone, but possible sometimes.

Good job the Yanks are not Scrambled over New York. The last time they did they flew in the opposite direction to an inbound plane. They were not even Armed to shoot down anything in-coming lol.

If another country invades at say, 12.05pm, nothing will get done until 1.00 pm with Thais nothing will get done until 1.00 pm,lunch/food comes first.

Think, all government departments close at 12.00 for lunch, even our outpatient depo of the hospital closes at 12.00 for an hour.

Would the military be any different, no
