webfact Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 PM reiterates need for Chinese armoured vehicles BANGKOK: -- Prime Minister Gen Prayut Chan-ocha today reiterated the cabinet’s approval of the Army’s urgent need for the Chinese armoured vehicles saying the vehicles are cost effective, capable and appropriate for the country. He was commenting to ongoing criticism of the cabinet’s spedy approval of the 2.3 billion baht purchase of the VN-1 rubber-wheel armoured vehicles. Gen Prayut said the security authorities and the military junta have assessed the vehicle’s performance and price and come out with a final decision that it is cost effective and the price is very competitive.

yellowboat Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 (edited) When your personnel carriers are four or five decades old, replacing them is rational. We all know these will probably only be used to intimidate rather than protect the average Thai. Edited June 17, 2017 by yellowboat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ceruhe Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Were the soldiers that were sent to Lumyai to cover her up too embarrassed for not showing up with a fancy (new) toy? So glad this country's economy is doing well so they can be afforded with pocket change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

holy cow cm Posted June 17, 2017 Share Posted June 17, 2017 Can't drive a submarine on land to suppress a revolt who is opposed to intervention on peoples daily lives. One needs to know the people, not delegate saying its in your best interest and be quiet. Lumyai and street carts are a perfect example of last but new consistent out of touch failures. Of course no one will make a statue in his name. why waste the material. Barks too much and out of touch! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So have some newly painted decals of "Chailand" on the side of the carriers been obliterated by the Thailand military as they were regarded as being a few years premature.

Chris Lawrence Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The west won't deal with the Thai Government as they have not been elected and are run by the military. Main reason for getting into bed with China and Russia. What is unproven is reliability. Again this could end in tears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
