Leonardo is positioning its Alenia M-345 High Efficiency Trainer (HET) aircraft to meet a requirement in the Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF), the company confirmed to Jane's at the Defense and Security (D&S) 2019 show in Bangkok.
The move is supported through Leonardo's expanding profile in Thailand, demonstrated by a new contract awarded to the company to provide the RTAF with its RAT 31DL/M air- defence radar system.
