mm L/70 guns to Thailand through Thales Nederland. In a second deal, the MoD has sold 13 Thales Nederland Flycatcher radar systems, 34 Bofors 40 mm L/70 guns and a training simulator to Thales Nederland. The Hengelo, Netherlands-based company will sell-on eight of these Flycatchers and 16 guns to Thailand.
