Military RTAF to Commission 8 AT-6 Light Attack Aircraft

The commissioning ceremony will take place at Wing 41 Air Base in Chiang Mai, where the aircraft will be based. The AT-6TH aircraft, manufactured by Textron Aviation Defense LLC of the United States, are part of a five-year procurement project (2021–2025) valued at 4.6 billion baht. The package includes spare parts, training systems and supporting equipment. These aircraft are designed for multiple roles, including air-to-ground attack and border surveillance operations. The RTAF initially received two AT-6 aircraft, designated 41101 and 41102, on 16 July 2024. Since then, deliveries have continued until all eight have been received. The AT-6TH is now the eighth type of attack aircraft to be inducted into the RTAF’s fleet. The aircraft are equipped to perform a variety of missions, including: • Close air support (CAS) • Forward air control (airborne) • Armed reconnaissance • Air strikes • Intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) • Combat search and rescue (CSAR) • Disaster imagery and assessment • Aerial wildfire control support Beyond combat roles, the aircraft are also intended to enhance inter-agency coordination in national defence and disaster response. This procurement underscores Thailand’s ongoing efforts to modernise its air capabilities while reinforcing its strategic presence in border regions. Adapted by Asean Now from Amarin 2025-08-03 -

Crime Johnny the Enforcer Apologises for Resort Scandal
Picture courtesy of Daily News. Former high-profile police officer Pol. Sgt. Maj. Yutthaphon Srisompong, better known by his online alias ‘Johnny the Enforcer’, is once again in the public eye, this time not for his crime-fighting feats, but for an alleged land encroachment scandal involving a resort he is linked to in Ubon Ratchathani. On the afternoon of 1 August, Jonny visited the Central Investigation Bureau (CIB) headquarters in Bangkok, seeking a meeting with Pol. Maj. Gen. Jaroonkiat Pankaew, deputy commissioner of the bureau. He brought with him a traditional floral offering and pleaded for leniency over allegations that a resort he built had illegally encroached upon state forestry land in Lam Dom Noi Self-Help Settlement, located in Sirindhorn District. However, police made it clear that the case would proceed according to evidence and due process. “There is no personal vendetta here,” said Pol. Maj. Gen. Jaroonkiat. “The matter is entirely legal and will follow the evidence. Sympathy has no bearing on prosecution.” Authorities confirmed that Johnny’s wife, who is officially listed as the resort’s owner, will be summoned next week to face formal charges. The Ubon Ratchathani forestry department is expected to file a complaint with investigators from the Natural Resources and Environmental Crime Division (NRECD). She will be asked to explain how the resort was built, along with her applications for a house registration, electricity, and water supply. The area will also be formally seized pending further investigation. Later that same day, Johnny took to Facebook to post a video apology addressed to suspended Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra. The former officer expressed remorse for a controversial video he had previously posted on 19 June, in which he criticised the Prime Minister’s suitability for office following a diplomatic conversation with Cambodian strongman Hun Sen. In the apology, Johnny said: “I humbly apologise to Ms Paetongtarn Shinawatra, the Prime Minister of Thailand. I acknowledge my fault for speaking inappropriately and without due consideration. I lacked judgment and deeply regret my actions.” The apology divided his fan base, with supporters and critics alike weighing in on his public contrition. In a related development, further charges may be brought against Johnny as investigations continue into whether the resort was also operating without a valid business licence.
