Army chief General Prayuth Chan-ocha yesterday said it was up to the government to decide whether to sue the supplier of the GT200 bomb scanners, which have proven unreliable in many scientific tests.

 

“The Fourth Army Region no longer uses the devices,” the military leader said. 
 
In 2010, it became big news when the tests showed the GT200 bomb scanners – bought under a huge budget – could not pass the tests. 
 
However, it emerged into the spotlight again after the BBC news reported that the GT200 bomb-scanner manufacturer was arrested and charged with selling deceptive devices.
