Why did Thailand's request for F-35s get unofficially rejected, and what alternatives has the US put on the table? Join us on this episode of the Pilot Photog Podcast as we unravel the complex world of military procurement and geopolitical considerations in Southeast Asia. We'll discuss the reasons behind the rejection, such as maintenance facilities and air-based security concerns, and the potential alternatives offered by the US, including F-15 Eagle IIs, F-16 Block 70s, and the possibility of Saab stepping in with their new JAS-39E Grippen.

Get ready for a fascinating exploration of Thailand's aging fleet, and how it might be revitalized with these proposed alternatives. We'll weigh the pros and cons of the F-15 Eagle II, F-16 Block 70, and Saab JAS-39E Grippen as potential replacements, while also examining the impact of Thailand's increasing military ties with China. Don't miss this thought-provoking episode that shines a light on the intricate dynamics of Southeast Asian geopolitics and the future of military aviation in the region.
