Politics Thai F-16 Jets Scramble to Intercept Myanmar Warplane Near Border

The Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) deployed two F-16 fighter jets to intercept a Myanmar military aircraft that flew close to the Thai border in Kanchanaburi province, officials confirmed on 6 May. The aircraft, identified as a K-8 light attack jet, approached to within approximately two nautical miles of Thai airspace, triggering a rapid response from Thai defence forces. Air Force spokesman Air Vice Marshal Praphas Sornchaidee said the aerial intrusion, detected around 12:45 by radar systems of the Air Defence Command, prompted immediate action. The two F-16 jets, dispatched from Wing 4 in Nakhon Sawan, were ordered to identify and deter the unidentified aircraft as part of standard air patrol and sovereignty protection procedures. “The aircraft did not violate Thai airspace, but we considered the proximity a matter of concern and acted in accordance with professional interception protocols,” AVM Praphas said. “The mission was successful, and no hostile intent or incursion was detected.” Thai jets continued air combat patrols over Muang and Sai Yok districts throughout the afternoon to monitor the situation. The RTAF also issued a formal warning to Myanmar authorities to exercise caution in air operations near the shared border. The Myanmar K-8 jet had reportedly been involved in airstrikes earlier that day across the border in the Dawei region, specifically targeting a rebel position in Ban Thiki, Myitta Township. Explosions were reportedly observed near the Thai frontier at Ban Phu Nam Ron in Ban Kao subdistrict, Muang district, Kanchanaburi. A video showing the Myanmar aircraft releasing ordnance was circulated on social media, prompting concern among local residents. Kanchanaburi Governor Mr. Atisak Intratra confirmed that local authorities are monitoring the situation closely. “We are evaluating the situation continuously in coordination with security agencies,” he said. “No cross-border movements of displaced persons have been allowed, but humanitarian support in the form of food and supplies has been provided.” The incident has reignited public concerns in western Thailand about regional instability and the spillover effects of Myanmar’s ongoing internal conflict. However, officials reassured the public that Thai airspace remained uncompromised and that all necessary measures to protect national sovereignty had been effectively enforced.

Labours Blame Game Commences with Reform Results Fallout
The solution is simple. You give a decision on these cases within a week. You go hard at it - if Labour don't it's going to cost them. You cannot withdraw from certain treaties as they are needed to protect the Northern Ireland protocol agreement. You then deport those who can't stay to a third safe country. Whilst the Rawanda was never going to work, because the numbers who could be transported was too low - in principle it was the right decision. Most will return back to their home country rather than go to Rawanda. Always thought Labour got rid of that too quickly. -
