Play
The Defence Ministry will next Tuesday seek the Cabinet approval to earmark Bt12 billion for the repair of military equipment damaged by the flooding, permanent secretary General Sathien Permthong-in said on Wednesday.
“The Air Force will require a most costly repair for flood damages of more than Bt10 billion,” he said.
Sathien said the air base and aviation equipment would have to undergo a major overhaul following the inundation at Don Mueang.
The remainder of the funds, estimated more than Bt1.2 billion, would be allocated to the Army to fix its flood-damaged weaponry and installations.
