Thai's Prime Minister was reported to have approved the navy proposal to acquire 3 ex German submarines. Based on a UPI news report, the submarines are of Type 206, which is 'quite old' actually although they have been upgraded and known as Type 206A. Anyway, if they are still operational, it could be a good learning platform for the Thai navy.
It is an open secret that the Thai Navy is creating its submarine force considering the facts that her ASEAN's neighbours are becoming active submarine operators.
Well if it is not an arms race..it is just 'normal' for navy to have submarine eh?..
Welcome to the club!
