The U.S Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) has announced on 29th September of a possible sale of military hardware to Thailand to upgrade its aging fleet of F-16A/B Block 15 fighter jets. The three phase-project will involve the sale of Mid-life Upgrade (MLU), spare parts, equipments and logistic supports worth $700 million.

The Thai government has asked the U.S to upgrade its 18 F-16A/B Block 15, where in the first stage 6 of its 18 aging F-16A fighter jets will be upgraded.

The Thai government wants to upgrade its Thai Royal Air Force to be on par with the U.S Air Force. The new upgrade will enable the Thai fighter jets to fly its attack mission both days and nights in even under the worst climate condition.
