Ahem, last time Thailand took on Lao the Thai army was sent packing after a fight that didn't last too long. The US Embassy, Vientiane people all turned out to watch as the rag tag Lao army sent them running. The US might as well sell direct to China instead of selling to Thailand as China reps would be right there in the hanger as soon as the Americans turned their backs.

Yes also happened on the southern border of Laos.

I doubt that the USA will approve it given Thailand's cozy relationship and proximity to China.  There is no way they want their technology to just be handed over the the Chinese. 

It would not surprise me if it is really China that is using Thailand to purchase the jets in the hopes the USA would be so stupid as to sell it to them. 

Irrespective of that, what on earth would Thailand need Stealth Jets for?  So it can sneak up on its submarines undetected?

Complete waste of money, so they buy 8 jets that if a war should happen they would be useless and blown out of the sky by superior forces within hours, thailand is a low defense country and would not last a week in a real war, save the money for taking care of it's own people.

In every real war, Thailand would, like it happened in the past, quickly form an alliance with the invader.  To keep the "never conquered" flag up, methinks

China has the one they needed at the bottom of the South China Sea. They no doubt already had a good look.😀

They've had J 20's for a while, despite those claiming they can't produce their own aircraft, etc.

They actually might be quite useful. Suppose Putin wants to invade Thailand to liberate his fellow Russians who are being held for driving unlicensed e-scooters? Nice to have bomber jets then to deter him 😺
