  • Far more sensible than the fast jets 

  • A great little aircraft, also used extensively in the US military for training pilots as well as Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance and precision attack if required, Ideal for border defense

  • This aircraft is the ideal type for the Cambodia border mission. It flies low and can loiter much longer than a F-16 or the Gripen.  Also, cheaper to procure and operate.

Who needs submarines when they have intelligent Air Force people buying these for surveillance better than those last jets that cost 10 times more money TIT

Not sure why kamikaze drones aren't being used by many nations, a cheap solution capable of taking out very expensive fighter jets and attack/surveillance drones.


I agree with you.  I expect the answer is simply inertia - Putin's invasion of Ukraine has shown how effective drone warfare can be, and a lot of existing Air Force hierarchy and infrastructure won't be needed if drones are used to do a lot of the jobs that previously required aircraft.

Drone warfare is here to stay, and Thailand is already using them against Cambodian troops.

Dear Mr Trump,

We have bought a lot of very expensive unnecessy military equipment even though our educational standards suggest we will have problems operating them.

Please can we have our import duties reduced now?

Love,

Thailand

This deal was done under the Biden administration.

Textron employee here.  The Texan II is an excellent fit for any Cambodian missions. Plenty of rockets in those pods to deter further encroachment of the border, and deal with any artillery in those areas.

Sell them A-10s. Nothing like 30mm depleted uranium rounds to take out ancient monuments.

Obviously. Only a light hearted comment to shed light on dependency of other nations on US economic might.

Why Nutjob Trump wants to kick everyone in the balls does nobody any good.
