snoop1130 Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 Weapon repair centres must have Thai involvement: Prawit By The Nation Deputy Prime Minister General Prawit Wongsuwan insisted Friday that the government would not allow foreign countries to build weapon repair centres here alone without Thai participation. The comment followed an unconfirmed report that Thailand had asked China to support the construction of such a centre. Prawit said Thailand has a policy to allow prospective countries from which it buys weapons to establish repair centres here, but only with the country’s involvement. This would help speed up repairs so that damaged weapons could be fixed quickly and become usable again. Deputy Defence Minister General Udomdej Sitabutr, speaking at an army workshop on development of the country’s defence industry, said that the government had a clear policy to build a weapon repair centre. A committee would be set up to oversee the task, he said. The work could be the sole operation by the state, a joint venture between the state and a private entity, or a private entity’s investment, he said.

A quick google of "Asian weapons repair centres" produces the OP and pretty much nothing else. Could this be another first for Thailand, who knows, they could even become the hub of weapons repair.

Chris Lawrence Posted March 10, 2017 Share Posted March 10, 2017 So they build them in Laos Cambodia Burma or Vietnam. Those countries wouldn't hold out, and probably get big discount in the weapons purchased. Talk tuff but won't get u any where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your buying "Made in China" weapons there is a real use for this facility. Good old Mr. P not to be left silent speaks out. Hard to tell who the real leader is here so many different authoritarian comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dumbastheycome Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Some really really funny comments here when a significant number of parts in US Military weaponry and military aircraft are made in China. And a very significant percentage of guns owned by Americans are 100 % made in China. A Thailand based Weapons Repair Facility could actually be a viable possibility. LMAO.
