After the Royal Thai Air Force introduced last week that they are aiming to purchase eight fighter jets, yesterday the Cabinet accredited the plan to fund the acquisition of 4 planes. They estimated a budget of about 13.eight billion baht which will be spread throughout the next 4 fiscal years.
โซล่าเซลล์ราคาถูกคุณภาพดี says the acquisition is critical to exchange the F-16 Falcon jets which were in operation for almost 40 years and continued use runs the danger of accidents as properly as continued high upkeep costs. The determination has not yet been made on exactly what sort of jets to purchase, but it will be determined by a procurement committee later, in accordance with the RTAF spokesperson.
The procurement committee is certainly one of 2 panels which have been established relating to the purchase of latest jets for the Air Force. The first will focus on researching the kind of plane to be purchased and might be chaired by the Deputy Commander-in-Chief of the RTAF. The procurement committee, headed by the RTAF Aide-de-camp, will take their suggestions and make the final determination and contract to actually purchase the jets, after getting the final approval from the Cabinet.
The Air Force has been leaning in the path of Lockheed Martin, the US company that produces the F-35 stealth fighter and its variants, the F-35A, B, and C which have totally different takeoff and landing characteristics. And they argue that nows the time to buy, as costs have dropped since the F-35 first came out and planes could be picked up for about US $82 million (2.seventy three billion baht), a discount of 42% of their original record price of US $142 million (4.73 billion baht)..
