Thailand to build military missiles

Thailand has decided to develop and produce rockets and missiles in a radical shift towards building an indigenous defence industry.

Jane's Defence Weekly cites an internal Thai defence ministry document saying Thailand will start by developing a multiple-launch rocket with a range of 80 kilometres.

It says other projects include a strategic rocket with turbojet engine guided by global position system and inertial navigation system.

The country already produces explosives, ammunition and small arms as well as modernising and repairing aircraft and armoured vehicles.
