Everything is correct except this
In document no word about what type of 30mm turret will be used but yes, mostly it will be RS6 and I can mistake but they already purchased some 30mm from Kongsberg
I was sent this like a 6+ months ago xD
I think it’ll be a later modernisation/planned but not sure if they wanna go ahead due to weight
I managed to find a new Thai vehicle, an armored car constructed for the Wild Tiger Corps sometime during or before 1919. Apparently, it is equipped with a 45hp engine and a 37mm gun. At least three have been built from photo evidence.
The video I found this vehicle in suggests (through an image not closed captions) that the gun in question is a 1-pounder pom-pom, however, I do not see the resemblance. Rather, I believe it may be a Hotchkiss naval gun, which were in service with Siamese ground forces around the time this vehicle is said to have been built.
The car in the foreground of this image seems to sport a smaller gun, possibly an MG, which is evidenced by the obviously different opening that has been cut out for said gun. It could be a different vehicle entirely. Since we can see two other cars in the background, it is possible that one of the three only had an MG mounted, but we do not know for sure.

Type 10 w/ Camouflage net suggestion has this Anti-Drone suggestion iirc

Well in the suggestion it’s referred to as a “camo net” so I think it’s more for camouflage than any sort of protection against drones.
New Type 81 (C) gets the ARH missile too.

Sometimes I feel we Japan tree main is quite easy to satified, giving some huge toys in a update already can keep our mouth shut for whole years😅

I’m still a little sad we got nothing for WW2 or early postwar, but F-2 and ARH Type 81 + radar is already more than I expected

but in the stream it was also 12.0 which was not very nice
I just hope this isn’t last update that Japan/Thailand get something in this year
We shall see, we might still get Thai subtree later this year.
