The Royal Thai Army (RTA) has proposed the procurement of four additional Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk helicopters from the US government, RTA chief General Chalermchai Sitthisart confirmed on 29 June.

The procurement, if finalised, will be the first major US defence sale to Thailand since the military coup in 2014. It is expected to be negotiated during Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha’s visit to Washington in July.

In comments reported by state-run news agencies, Gen Chalermchai said funding for the purchase was approved by the Thai government in late 2016 and the deal is now progressing through US government channels.

    3. Black hawks r useful for missions that do not require large infantry. More for tactical operations. US army utilise their chinook more for large movement. Still if hawks afe needed for large operation hence more platforms are needed to transport large amount of troops. It can mitigate the risk since if 1 goes down around 11 troops is lost. Eu copters can carry near 20 which is an advantage as u need less copters. However if it goes down more lives r lost. In terms of protection the US has more hi tec ways of survival. Eu copters can be the same but their key is speed. Im quite conflicted for survivability? What do u think? Which platform has a better chance of survival?
