In the Community Update No.7, several tanks used by Thailand are also mentioned to come in the upcoming update, which are: Commando Stingray, M60A3 TTS, M163, and one more mysterious tank being “plotted”!
I would love for more Thai vehicles to come! Will this be all? Or will there be other as well? Stay tuned!
Air Chief Marshal Panpakdee Patanakun, Commander-in-Chief of the Royal Thai Air Force, signed a government-to-government (G2G) contract with Sweden’s FMV and Saab for the purchase of Gripen E/F fighter jets to strengthen national defense.
The agreements were signed with Mr. Mikael Granholm, Director General of FMV, and Mr. Micael Johansson, CEO of Saab, as well as Mr. Lars Tossman, Head of Business Area Aeronautics, Saab. Thai Foreign Minister Mr. Maris Sangiampong served as a witness to the signing at 12:20 PM at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm on 25th August 2025.
The procurement project, named “Peace Burapha”, will see the new fighter jets enter service in 2029, assigned to Wing 102, Air Force Base 1 in Nakhon Ratchasima, to secure Thailand’s eastern and northeastern borders.
Unless we get any of the Thai Gripen Es made or at least confirmation about the exact configuration of it I don’t think we’ll see them at the same time. The Swedish one could be added any update now, while the Thai one still leaves some questions unanswered.
