Came across this today. Didnt know Thailand operated the HQ-12 SAM. I assume this operated as part of a battery which is too bad it didnt carry its own radar.
Also look at this, we better get the black camo for the Thai Cobra
Also Im surprised were not talking more about the FA-50TH. I saw that it was now going to be fitted with GPS Guided Munitions from SK.
Also hopefully they decide to adopt this homegrown drone instead of the Norinco ones theyre using now.
Honestly, this is just an excuse to share out this top notch website. Great freaking blog for Thai Military News.

Does anyone know if Thailand ever acquired AGM-65’s at any point?
Thailand also used AGM 65 by using it with the F-16.

Glad to see, I had never seen these pics before and for some reason no sources on the Internet ever stated or made it clear to me if they did
Also, does Thailand have a targeting pod with thermals in their inventory? The Atlis II pod is decent but no thermals would really hold it back

Does anyone know anything about what equipment the Thai AV-8S had? Like it’s missiles and countermeasures?
Also do we know if Thailand ever used the AGM-65B’s? Would be weird to use the A-7E and F-5E without them as an option
Any Thai SPAA/SAM for 5.0 to 10.0 Br range?
For the most part, pictures of Thai fighter jets appear in local media and those who are interested. In today’s era where social media has started. We will see more of these people in the media. Both through the Air Force itself Both interested groups and the media
If A-7E and F-5E I don’t have a image with AGM-65
I have pictures of the AV-8 armed as follows.

As for Thai SPAAG, I honestly admit that it is underused. Because in Thailand the Static AA Gun is mostly used, but if we want to bring the AA that we have, it consists of the following.
Prototype vehicle for the M61A1 Vulcan machine gun.
M163 VADS.
Type 51 Starstreak
Thairung Dzhigit

It’s important to note that I’ve never seen evidence of Thailand getting AGM-65B’s l, but they got them for this plane anyway, so in the future the Thai A-7E should also get them

Does anyone know if the radar was upgraded on the FCU F-5? And if so how good is the new radar?
Edit: nvm, no radar changes from what I could see, this website does a good job at breaking down the differences
