January 4, 2025: Thailand offers Boats, Drones and Armored Vehicles to the AFP
The Ambassador of Thailand to the Philippines Tull Traisorat recently met with Defense Secretary Gilberto Teodoro Jr. in Camp Aguinaldo where he relayed his Country's offer of Offshore Boats, Drones and Armored Vehicles to the Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP)

Looking at the Thai Armed Forces Equipment, they do make and use the U1 Drone as well as different Models of Armored Vehicles. They also make their own Landing Ship Tanks (LST) Vessels, Corvettes and Patrol Boats. 

However, as those of you know from my previous Posts, like all of the other Countries in South East Asia (SEA), Thailand is a very close Ally of China, so I am not sure if this Pro-United States (US), Anti-China Administration of Bong Bong Marcos (BBM) will factor that in when buying their Military Equipment.
