Updated armament Section.
its battle rate should be 8.7
these aircrafts are great for ground battles, not air battles. oh no! with different battle rate for air battles YES! its good for air battles too
air battles: 7.3
ground battles: 8.7
Don’t give the snail Ctrl C Ctrl V ideas.
This airframe is used in the US, UK, Canada, Afghanistan, Iraq, NZ, Israel, Argentina and others. It could easily end up in every tree bar Italy.
That makes it a big NO from me.

Thailand is the only foreign operator of the AT-6; you’re referring to the T-6, which is an unarmed training aircraft.

Not really c & p but thr nations could get their equivalents like the tucano or pilatus, or the other that look very similar to each other
NZs are armed. Wouldn’t be the least bit surprised if other nations ones are too.
Really? Thought they have the trainer version, which gets only two hardpoints compared to the AT-6s six and no in-built TGP, MAWS, HMD and other equipment that the AT-6TH variant has.
You can’t argue C&P, then compare a trainer variant to a specialized attack variant specific to one nation like the AT-6TH

Commissioning Ceremony of the Type-8 Light Attack Aircraft (AT-6TH)
On Thursday, September 4, 2025, Air Chief Marshal Phanphakdee Patthanakul, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Air Force, presided over the commissioning ceremony of the Type-8 light attack aircraft (AT-6TH) at Wing 41, Chiang Mai. The ceremony was attended by the United States Ambassador to Thailand, the Deputy Governor of Chiang Mai Province, observers under the Integrity Pact, representatives from government agencies, as well as representatives from Aeronautical Industry Company Limited, Textron Aviation Defense LLC, Sam Teltech Company, and RVC Company.
The Royal Thai Air Force has procured eight Type-8 light attack aircraft (AT-6TH) from the United States to be stationed at the 411 Squadron, Wing 41, replacing the Aero L-39ZA/ART fighter and trainer aircraft, which were decommissioned on March 31, 2021. The procurement contract with Textron Aviation Defense LLC was signed on November 14, 2021, under the Integrity Pact, ensuring transparency, efficiency, and value for money in the use of state funds, bringing maximum benefit to the nation and the people.
Eight Thai pilots were sent to the United States for training on the AT-6TH, completing instructor and test pilot courses with excellent results. This procurement marks an important milestone in modernizing the Royal Thai Air Force’s aviation technology and enhancing its operational readiness.
In addition to the aircraft, the project also received support in tools, equipment, training, and facility upgrades under the U.S. government’s grant assistance program — US Title 10 Chapter 16 Section 333 Authority to Build Capability — to strengthen operational capabilities. These include missions such as air-to-ground attack, combat search and rescue, reconnaissance, close air support, border security and counter-narcotics operations, as well as public service missions such as wildfire control and disaster relief.
The Commander-in-Chief emphasized that the procurement process was truly transparent, beneficial, and cost-effective. At present, the 411 Squadron has received all eight aircraft. Amidst tensions along the Thai–Cambodian border, the Type-8 light attack aircraft (AT-6TH) has been considered for armed reconnaissance and national defense support missions at full capability.
The commissioning of the Type-8 light attack aircraft (AT-6TH) marks another historic milestone for the 411 Squadron, Wing 41, and the Royal Thai Air Force, paving the way for integrated air operations in cooperation with national security agencies, safeguarding sovereignty and ensuring the security of the nation.
