Thailand Buying JAS-39 Gripens, AWACS

Gripen & S-1000/S340 (www.defenseindustrydaily.com)

First set of 6 Gripens arrive; Entire Phase 1 system operational. (July 8/11)

It’s a small, agile fighter that can take off and land on highways, while carrying the latest technologies and weapons. It does very well against NATO’s best aircraft in exercises, comes with a reasonable price tag, and is built for low lifetime operating costs. 

Unfortunately, in a world where people often buy your weapons because they want you to be their friend, the cachet of having Sweden in your corner isn’t quite what it used to be when their sailors wore those cool horned helmets. As a result, the JAS-39 Gripen is an excellent, reasonably-priced fighter yet it has been struggling for traction in the global marketplace.

Thai leader defends leaving UN heritage site body

BANGKOK – Thailand's prime minister on Sunday defended his country's decision to quit the U.N.'s World Heritage Convention, saying its committee's consideration of a Cambodian plan to manage a protected temple on Thailand's border would increase tensions.

At least 20 people have died in attacks in the area surrounding the temple since 2008, when the site received World Heritage status over Thailand's objections.
