US to resume Black Hawk sales to Thailand
[Bangkok Post] The U.S. has agreed to sell four more Black Hawk helicopters to the army, reversing an earlier decision not to sell the aircraft after the 2014 coup. Gen. Chalermchai Sitthisat said Thursday that the sale would proceed under the U.S. Department of Defense's Foreign Military Sales program.

The army already has 12 multirole Black Hawk helicopters and the four new ones would increase the number to 16, completing the fleet that the army wants, he said.

Speculation that Thailand might purchase military equipment from the U.S. was high after Defense Ministry spokesman Kongcheep Tantravanich said on Monday the armed forces were being asked to compile information about American-made weapons ahead of Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha's planned trip to the U.S. next month.
