no.1 dress ka?

i can see that Bashar's forces getting more and more overruned by FSA..does the pro-kurdish forces there siding with FSA or what? and why Syrian Army did not fully utilize its airforce..last time i checked in wiki, there's 75-90 Mig-29, over 120++ ground-attack capable aircraft and about 70 Mi-24 'Hind' before the civil war occurs..i'm amazed with FSA though..first started with only 1000 troops..now have gathered about 50,000 fighters after just a few months..

They are fighting together against the regime but not jointly with FSA.....there are groups within FSA that are backed by the Turkish....Turkey is pressing on the Syrian opposition to exert pressure on Kurds

yup no1 dress and for airforce if can i want the pilot in the flight suit...

the Philippines? what a joke...current airforce pun no fund to buy better aircraft..

everytime there's decommissioned assets they get excited

to get a fully functional aircraft carrier, u need an adequate carrier battle group consist of jet fighters, helos, frigates, support ship, LPD, & subs..dun forget also operation & maintenance cost for the group, not just the carrier..& almost all SEA (even singapore) nations lack of that..learn from thailand

so, we shouldnt berangan to get aircraft carrier, at least not for another 50 years

Navy Officially Welcomes HTMS Ang Thong to Fleet


Thailand’s first ship of this kind was built in Singapore at a cost of 4.94 billion baht.
The navy plans to order more ships of the same type, because it decommissioned five old auxiliary vessels.

CHON BURI : The navy officially received its new landing platform dock ship, HTMS Ang Thong,
at Laem Thien port at Sattahip naval base yesterday.


HTMS Ang Thong is Thailand's first ship of this kind. It was built in Singapore at a cost of 4.94 billion baht.

Royal Thai Fleet commander Kanat Thongpoon said buying HTMS Ang Thong was worthwhile as it
had a displacement of 7,600 tonnes and could carry up to 360 personnel for landing operations and 30 administrative officers.

It will be deployed during the US-Thai Cooperation Afloat Readiness and Training (Carat) exercise next month and on a
peace-keeping mission together with HTMSSimilan to tackle Somali pirates next year.



According to Adm Kanat, HTMSAng Thong is also suitable for rescue missions because it has a sick bay,
a minor operation room and a dentist room and has doctors on board.

The navy needs more landing ships, of this type he said. It has decommissioned five old auxiliary vessels and
HTMS Ang Thong is the only replacement so far. The navy plans to order more ships of the same type.



According to HTMS Ang Thong commander Teerasan Khongman, the new landing craft has a well dock to conveniently
launch tanks and boats. It can carry four landing craft with vehicles and personnel.

Also welcomed at the ceremony yesterday were the ship's crew numbering about 150 officers and men.



HTMS Ang Thong's crew members started training on the ship in Singapore two months ago and they will be ready
for drills next month. In the Carat exercise, the ship will be used to receive and launch helicopters and amphibious assault vehicles.

navy aku tak jumpa plak

Thanks alot sir. ur a life saver.

Looks like a good head shot target to me. Those torches are for short distance and would not replace a nvg.

i think Phillipine tgh terdesak sgt nk tunjuk power kt Taiwan and China tuh..i prefer submarines rather than aircraft carriers though..this Spain carrier can carry modern naval aircraft like F-18? dun want to be like Thai navy, carrier too small, can only carry V/STOL aircraft..harrier is obsolete nowadays..while F-35 is goddamn expensive..

when the US wanna retire C-27Js the filipino practially cummed on the spot


they can't even get their shyt together

granted they really need a large amphibious vessel to carry marines and equipments to one of it's isles, but still there's tons of cheaper alternatives out there.

The very reason they retire the aircraft is due to high operation cost than a C-130 hercules,
sure they want that?

last time I heard they regret on buying 2nd warship.
expensive maintenance have been taking a huge hole in the budget.

Turkish T-129 ATAK Attack Helicopters with UMTAS missiles.

hard to say.
but I would go for phalanx.

if they get it free then why not? besides it's slightly larger than CN-235 and has part commonality with C-130. less logistic headache
