Bottom line is that Myanmar military jets have no business here in Thailand and they should be treated with hostility if they even approach the border. Thailand obviously falls short with there military and strategy so why do they need expensive US F-35s if they are caught off guard so easily?

You don't just shoot down aircraft because they stray into your airspace, not if you want avoid war for a minor reason.

When I said “treated with hostility”, I meant timely interception and if necessary, military force. Myanmar is not a “friendly” country to be buddies with. If these incursions are an issue, they need to regularly patrol that area of the border to maintain a firm stance rather than the milk toast stance they currently have.

Nobody does that with fighter jets, not unless at unsustainable cost in manpower, maintenance and fuel.
