The Ministry of Defence will allow the Royal Thai Navy to procure seven Israeli-made unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) worth over 4 billion baht.
A ministry source said Gen Worakiat Rattananont, the permanent secretary of defence, has signed a contract to procure seven Hermes 900 UAVs from Elbit Systems, an international defence electronics firm based in Israel.
The move has also been approved by the Comptroller General's Department.
