Opposition MP Rangsiman Rome highlighted concerns over the decision to switch from a certified German MTU396 engine to an uncertified Chinese CHD620, suggesting possible kickbacks kept the deal alive despite safety and efficacy issues. The 13.5-billion‑baht contract is already half paid, yet delivery is delayed, adding to criticism of Thai procurement transparency and raising questions about the deal’s legitimacy under former navy chief Luechai Ruddit.
