Myanmar Fighter Jet Crosses Thai Border

A Myanmar fighter jet crossed the border into Thailand's airspace on Thursday, prompting the Thai air force jets to scramble and officials to order the evacuation of villages and classrooms, officials said.
The Royal Thai Air Force said it dispatched two F-16 fighters to patrol the area after receiving a report of an aircraft that had crossed into Thailand's airspace while carrying out an attack in Myanmar territory held by an ethnic minority group.
It asked the military attaché at the Thai Embassy in Myanmar to convey a warning to Myanmar authorities and work with them to avoid similar incidents in the future.
The sound of a fighter jet flying over Phop Phra district in Thailand's Tak province alarmed local authorities, who ordered the evacuation of villages and schools in the area.

[@lonesomealaskan2599]

American freedom is all behind this crisis! Like I read it earlier, It is possible that Myanmar jet was on reconnaissance mission to take a peek at a new giant $300 millions U.S Consular Office compound being built in nearby Chiang Mai, Thailand which is likely to be used as a base for CIA's paramilitary unit responsible for Myanmar mission... Speaking of ethnic and religious tragedies Burma/Myanmar facing today, the fact that the world's longest Civil War which is in Myanmar, mainly between Buddhist Burmese and Christian Karen (while Buddhist Karen are largely at peace) was made it possible, prolonged and supported by Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc while they are using next-door neighbor Thailand (which has a defense treaty with them) as a base camp since in the 1950. [In my humble opinion, ethnic Karen refugees fleeing the conflict/war in Myanmar are entitled to cross over to Thailand to stay, as well as eligibility to relocate to new places such as USA, Australia]. Like I said, Anglo Clans of USA, UK & Australia, etc are using next-door neighbor Thailand, which has a defense treaty with them, as a base camp since in the 1950s; from which attack against China/PRC was launched by sending Chinese Nationalist (Taiwanese Kuomintang) forces into nearby Burma's eastern border closed to China in the '50s and '60s. In the '60s and '70s, using Thailand as a base camp, attacks against nearby Laos & Cambodia were launched during the Indochina war where several millions of innocent civilians were killed. For plain truths, pls read the informative multi-pages "Ole Fella" comment at, "Aung San Suu Kyi Exclusive Interview BBC''.

[@user-kc1tf7zm3b]

The Royal Thai Air Force has a good air force. But, it is all relative to the capabilities to the air forces of Singapore, Japan and China. At the end of the day, it all comes down to money; there is no substitute for money. The more money a country spends on its air force, the better its fighter jets, pilots and the resultant combat capabilities will be.

The Myanmar Air Force either cross the border into Thailand, or they did not. Assuming that the Royal Thai Air Force did not provoke this action, or the Thais did not authorise the entry of these Myanmar fighter jets, which is unlikely, then the Myanmar jets had no right to enter Thailand.
