As my memory told, the 1997 Asian Economic Crisis is so damn bad. The current crisis Thailand facing, it’s hard, but it can not compare with our previuos one. Maybe Thailand got some immune from the 1997 crisis.
But whatever the case, it’s still hard and now military got an impact by facing an budget cut.
So here are some detail of it.

The most news publish outside Thailand said RTAF already abadon the plan to buy the second batch.
But the case is that it’s a bit of misunderstanding. In fact, the second batch is just to complete the overall project of 12 jets.

Airship for RTA …. this is the unexpected thing.
Well RTA give the reason that due to the southern insurgency, RTA needs its own ‘Eye in the sky’.
The current ‘Eye in the sky’ is AU-23A peacemaker of RTAF equipped with FLIR and some UAV types, own by RTA.

Thai Navy today’s has it’s own Naval Special Warfare Unit, a SEALs, which is base on US Naval SEALs. (of course US Navy help establish this unit about 40 years ago and cooperation still going on today)
New structure of RTN call for a Naval Special Warfare Command, could be compared to US Naval Special Warfare Command in term of structure.
