What good are submarines during a coup?

Haha nice one. Tanks seem to be the preferred weapon to make the general population cower in

fear during a coup. However the army seems to have sufficient tanks to easily perform a coup,

and tanks have a long life. Perhaps if they bought a shallow draft submarine that could come

up the Chao Phraya river, they could shell demonstrators ??

  • Submarine procurement - In April 2011, Royal Thai Navy allocated up to 7.7 billion baht for the purpose of acquiring six used and modernized Type 206 A submarines from the German Navy. However, an approval from cabinet was still pending when parliament was dissolved in May 2011.

The first of the new subs, undergoing trials in Isaan:
