will be a pain in the ass for SPAA/light tanks
Well the VT-4 and K9 i used is refer to any Chinese or Korean vehicles…… not the exact varient
I love the AT-6 it would be interesting how this would even be implemented considering its a turboprop but with modern and advanced systems…it even has flare and MAWS…the BRs would be…interesting even with split BRs i still dont know where it could go

10.0 for GRB, maybe 7.0 for ARB or 7.3.
Basically a slower A-10 with similar CAS power.
Yeah i can see that maybe…though in the future it would get IRIS-T though thats up to gaijin to add or not
Hmm honestly maybe even lower…since with out IRIS-T it would only have .50 cal gun pods
Why 10.0 if the American equivalent is 9.7?

Thailand AV-8S, AIM-9???

Looks like 9l
Those are AIM-9D’s if i’m not mistaken
AV-8S’s should be able to get AIM-9G’s too
The canards appear to be too large to be AIM-9Ds, the missile looks to be an AIM-9L.

I can’t accurately determine the missile in the picture, but here is the diagram regarding the AIM-9 Family someone showed me on Discord.
Fins look long enough to be an L
When the AV-8S were in Spanish service they were equipped with AIM-9J/N and AIM-9P, including twin racks. But carried CATM-9L practice missiles as well.

House Of BTR-3s
An image of Royal Thai Army BTR-3E1
Royal Thai Armed Forces host several types of IFVs, one of which is BTR-3 series. However, BTR-3E1 is not the only type of BTR-3 in Royal Thai Army service. In this post, I am planning to explore a little bit into the types of BTR-3 used by Royal Thai Army.
BTR-3E1
The most utilized type of BTR-3 in Royal Thai Army, BTR-3E1 is armed with both ZTM-1 Automatic Cannon and BARRier Antitank system. Under Royal Thai Army, BTR-3E1s were used as the platforms for mobile infantry, utility vehicles, and even as command vehicles (BTR-3K). If you would like to see BTR-3E1 in War Thunder, don’t forget to show it your support by voting the suggestions by Yontzee and WreckingAres!
BTR-3RK
The Antitank variant of BTR-3, BTR-3RK is armed with 4 Skif anti tank missiles and KT-12.7mm Machine Gun as its secondary armament. Similarly to BTR-3E1, if you want to see BTR-3RK in War Thunder, don’t forget to vote for the suggestion by none other than Yontzee!
BTR-3E 90CSE
An experimental vehicle, BTR-3E 90CSE is the BTR-3E1 armed with Cockerill CSE 90LP. While the purpose for the vehicle is unclear beside an experiment, an observer from AAG_th suggests that BTR-3E 90CSE might be used as the support vehicle, providing a supporting fire for the infantry, instead of an anti-tank or a tank destroyer. If you want to see BTR-3E 90CSE, don’t forget to vote the suggestion put up by WreckingAres!

I hope we can see all variants within a Thai sub tree at some point in the future. They would all help serve important roles in the Japanese tech tree!

Hello,
I would like to start a discussion on the effects of the easement of the Three Arms Exports Ban and how it can affect the state of this proposed tech tree with Thailand. From what I can research, Japan has very limited success on its military exports but their first major success had been with the Philippines with Japan winning the bid for the ASRS Acquisition Project with the Mitsubishi FPS-3 Radar which was also offered to Thailand but from what I can see, it failed with Thailand choosing to go with Leonardo instead.
This however is not the only instance of Japan exporting military equipment. Before the 2014 repealment of the Three Arms Exports Ban by Shinzo Abe, Japan sent its retiring F-104Js to Taiwan’s ADTW in 1981.
ROC Air Force F-104J (Serial No. 4303)
Aside from this, Japan was able to build 2 Kunigami-class Patrol Vessels for the Philippine Coast Guard named as the Teresa Magbanua-class Patrol Vessels which have braved Chinese Coast Guard’s Harassment in the disputed West Philippine Sea.

Japan also has signed a contract to build 8 Mogami-Class Stealth Frigates for Indonesia and 6 Aso-class Patrol Vessels for the Vietnamese Coast Guard.

Why discuss this you ask?
Well, Japan’s late entry into the defense export industry makes it hard to connect Japan to other nations but it does not mean it cant. Unfortunately, I cant see any concrete military exports to Thailand. If anybody knows any information on that matter it would be great.
The closest one that couldve happened was when rumors of Japan exporting its retiring Type 74s to the Philippines which if it had happened, would mean we could have like at least another rare Type 74 for the TT lol. But too bad, Japan is too much of a pussy to sell its military equipment. If you have any other news of Japanese exports, please share them thanks!
