Ratchamanu Task Force holds 5th combat drone training for border defence
The Ratchamanu Task Force under the Naresuan Force trained soldiers in its 5th combat drone programme to boost border security and protect sovereignty.
On August 17, 2025, the Ratchamanu Task Force under the Naresuan Force conducted its fifth training programme for operators of unmanned aerial systems (UAS) equipped for tactical bomb-dropping missions.
The course, known as the Combat Drone Operator Training Programme, aims to enhance the capabilities of soldiers from the 4th Infantry Division and the Naresuan Force in adapting to rapidly evolving threats along Thailand’s borders.
The training underscores the military’s efforts to modernise its border security operations and safeguard Thailand’s sovereignty and national interests.
A message delivered during the exercise reminded soldiers of their duty:
"We do not fight because we hate the enemy before us, but because we love and cherish what lies behind us — our land and the Thai people."
