Thai Navy fires Exocet Missile at Defenceless
Target.
On Saturday
morning General Boonsung, the commander-in-chief of the Thai Armed Forces,
came to the Sattahip naval base with a lot of other senior military persons
with the aim of seeing whether the sailors have what it takes to defend
the shoreline in case of unexpected conflict. The General was flown by
helicopter out to the pride of the Thai fleet, the aircraft carrier HTMS
Chakri Narubet, which was sailing around the Gulf of Thailand on exercises.
After leading the usual parade of bemedalled officers and handing out a number of trinkets, the General was taken up in a helicopter and treated to the spectacular sight of government money being expended by way of an Exocet missile being fired from a frigate at a stationary target set up some distance from the aircraft carrier.
The result was a perfect hit and the General could return to Bangkok happy in the knowledge the Thai navy is more than capable of firing Exocet missiles and hitting stationary targets.
