Chaiseri Brings Its Armoured Vehicles to the Spotlight at DSA 2024

Our Bureau - : May 8, 2024 - : 9:23 am

Thailand’s defence land system company, Chaiseri, is bringing three of its First Win (FW) series armoured vehicles to the show.

“We have these three 4×4 vehicles here. First is the Armored Fighting Vehicle (AFV). This vehicle has a front protection rated at STANAG level three with STANAG level two for the rest. This AFV version carries the firepower of a (remotely-controlled) 30 mm calibre gun,” said Kan Koolhiran, Thai Defense Industry (TDI) Managing Director.

TDI was founded by Chaiseri and the country’s Defense Technology Institute (DTI) in May 2022 to support Thailand’s defence products exports.

“The next one is the Armored Personnel Carrier (APC) version. This vehicle can carry up to eleven personnel. We have produced hundreds of this version for Thailand’s military, and it has also been exported to Indonesia, Bhutan, and Malaysia,” he continued.

“Then, this final one is the Armored Reconnaissance Vehicle (ARV). This version has a very low profile with a maximum height of two metres. This version has a driver seat in the middle, different from all other variants.”

When asked about collaboration with defence companies in other countries especially in the Southeast Asia, Kan replied:

“We are always open to collaboration with other countries. We’re also always looking for ways to support local defence industries as well,” he further stressed that, “Many countries in this region are still dependant on defence products from the U.S., Europe, and others for so long, so there is a lot of money outflow from here to those countries.”

“Imagine if we can bring at least some of this outflow back to this region (with collaboration), this can be one of the most effective ways for the countries in Southeast Asia to grow together.”
