That’s correct.!!
This is one of three ships of the Royal Thai Marine Police Division’s 180 ft patrol boat, which consists of
Patrol Boat No. 1802 Dumrong Rajanubhab
Patrol Boat No. 1803 Lopburi Ramesuan
Patrol Boat No. 1804 Srinagarindra (Use the same model as the HTMS Long Lom.)
These ships were armed with 76/50 guns and two 20 mm Oerlikon guns. (For Srinakarin , mount dual 30mm GCM-AO3-2 and two 20 mm Oerlikon guns.)
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.
If used as an aircraft carrier, would it be too difficult to land? Because I personally find it difficult because the runway is too short (174.1 m).
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.
You got it right, when taking off use 12° Skijump and when landing. then landed with a vertical landing

While waiting for the helicopter research line Let’s talk about Japanese helicopters in Thailand.
(ปล. ใครทันลำนี้นี่ไม่เด็กแล้วนะ)
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
restrictions thing.
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.
I want to believe…
Hello everyone This time I have written all the Thailand sub-trees in Japan. Including airplanes, tanks, warships and helicopters. Everyone can go vote and express their opinions. And I will bring interesting things about Thailand for everyone to see.
The modified UK’s River-class patrol vessel, Krabi class is a class of offshore patrol vessel built by Mahidol Adulyadej Naval Dockyard with the technological support and assistance from BAE Systems Surface Ships, UK. Currently there are 2 Krabi Class OPVs under the Royal Thai Navy service: HTMS Krabi, named after the province of Krabi, and HTMS Prachuap Khiri Khan, named after the province of Prachuap Khiri Khan.
While similar in size and spec, HTMS Prachuap Khiri Khan also carries 4 x RGM-84 Harpoon anti-ship missiles alongside the usual 1 × OTO Melara 76/62 Super Rapid, 2 × 30mm MSI-DSL/ATK DS30MRs, and 2 × U.S. Ordnance M2HBs at the cost of reducing its operational range and speed (From 10,200 km to 6,500 km in range and from 6,500 km to 43 km/h in speed).
Just wanna say you did a great job on these!
Thank you very much. I appreciate it 🙏🙏
As the cold war progressed and uncertainty began to fall upon Southeast Asia, Thailand began the quest for its locally made and produced war machines. The following information is sourced from the article “15-Tonnes Infantry Fighting Vehicle” by Napat Patch on the tanks-encyclopedia.com.
The 15-Tonnes Infantry Fighting Vehicle (Thai: รถเกราะสายพานหุ้มเกราะขนาด ๑๕ ตัน) was one of the Royal Thai Army’s very few projects to develop and produce a domestic Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). It was an attempt to create a prototype to pave the way for national production and usage of a locally designed armored vehicle and to solve the existing problems faced with acquiring foreign vehicles.
In the year 1980, following the issuing of a self-reliance policy, many branches of the Thai Army initiated research and development projects, such as 7-tonned wheeled armored vehicle based on/modified from Cadillac Gage Commando Scout, and license-produced APC 6614.
The 15-tonnes Infantry Fighting Vehicle (Thai: รถเกราะสายพานหุ้มเกราะขนาด ๑๕ ตัน) was developed by using a budget allocation from the Royal Thai Army. For this new vehicle, they completely redesigned the drive train and chose new more suitable components. In 1982, the WPC selected a Cummins VT-903 C 8-cylinder, 4-stroke, 350 hp diesel engine and a Allison CLT.754 transmission system purchased from a foreign country. Other components were supplied locally, but the tank still used mild steel to reduce the cost of the prototype. The first prototype of the 15-tonnes Infantry Fighting Vehicle was finished in 1985.
For more information regarding the development and armament of this IFV, please visit and learn more about Thai IFV history via the link to the article 15-Tonnes Infantry Fighting Vehicle
