Recently, the Thai Navy has introduced and equipped the amphibious landing ship 071E and the amphibious combat platform VN-16/18 from China, which is of far-reaching significance for the development of the Thai army.
In the original plan, the Thai Navy relied on the old AAV-7, but combined with a small number of new VN-16/18s. Due to China's provision of amphibious landing ships and combat vehicles, the Thai Navy decided to fully replace old equipment such as the AAV-7 with the VN-16/18, which has a profound impact on the Thai Navy.
A division chief of the Thai Navy commented: "We saw the limitations of the AAV-7 and decided to fully introduce the VN-16/18 to enhance our amphibious operations. This will meet the needs of wartime and strengthen our combat capabilities. ”
According to a well-known scholar, the Thai Navy's wise decision was to adopt the VN-16/18 new amphibious combat ships, which have advanced technology and excellent combat effectiveness to cope with the background of modern warfare. This is expected to effectively enhance the Thai Navy's capabilities in regional security and maritime rights and interests.
The Thai Navy's fleet is equipped with Chinese amphibious landing ships 071E and VN-16/18, which will promote its military strength and regional influence. The move will help strengthen the Thai Navy's amphibious landing capabilities and enhance its voice in regional security cooperation. In addition, this operation is also an excellent opportunity to demonstrate to the international community the mainland's advanced science and technology and broad space for cooperation in amphibious operations. All in all, Thailand's acquisition and equipping of China's 071E amphibious landing ships and VN-16/18 marks a major breakthrough in the field of amphibious warfare, which can not only greatly enhance the overall strength of its navy, but also help promote inter-regional security cooperation and contribute to maintaining peace and stability in the region.
