Normally, the RBS-70 of the Royal Thai Air Force is a ground-based version, by taking the RBS-70 up and down on the vehicle. hypothetical that the firing point to the ground cannot be fired therefore use the roof of the car It’s a place to shoot instead.
For SAM type weapons, I would recommend other vehicle mount models such as the Startreak on Type 51 utility vehicle and Igla-S on Thairung TR Transformer 4x4.
Friendly Reminder:
HTMS Chakri Naruebet, aircraft carrier and a flagship of Royal Thai Navy, is smaller in both size and length than IJN Haruna, the rank V Japanese Battleship.
I would assume it would be used with Helicopters and Harriers that can both land vertically, so the only issue would be taking off with fully loaded harriers, which is what that ramp would be for.
Then again I’m just going by the image so I could be wrong.
Unfortunately the Thai BK-117 are only used by Civilian operators and Japan only officially used them for Police duties. There is an armed variant of the BK-117 (BK-117A-3M) but i doubt Japan used it and the only country i know off that uses BK-117A-3 is South Africa
People seem to forget that the H145 is just an airbus rebranded BK117 D. It’s still as much a Kawasaki project as much as it was during the BK117 days, however just received a new name after the EC and Airbus purchases seeing as there was no longer B in BK. Every BK117/EC145/H145 is still 40% manufactured by Kawasaki with just the FACO changing depending on the region.
Also seeing as how Kawasaki has exclusive marketing rights in the Asia Pacific due to original agreements a Thai H145 should be in the Japanese tree. Just the FACO and delivery happen from Airbus due to to the whole military exports
I think the concept of the EC-645T2 helicopter (based on the H145M) of the Royal Thai Navy is interesting because it has a weapon platform such as the FZ220, 223 Rocket pod or FN HMP400 pod, but I’m not sure if the Royal Thai Navy has purchased this or not. But if it is available, it would probably be a good thing to add this helicopters to it.
I was familiar with this helicopter when it was used on the television station ITV (Thailand) some decades ago. to be used for news reporting Its use is still available in many countries. Used in rescue and civilian service.
