The spokesperson of the Cambodian Ministry of Defense, Marry Sokhet, stated that so far, Cambodia has maintained a military advantage in the conflict.
In terms of paper strength, Thailand undoubtedly surpasses Cambodia. However, in the Dangkao Mountains along the Cambodia-Thailand border, the terrain is complex, and the Thai army will not be able to deploy too many troops, and its ground combat capabilities are not as strong as those of the Cambodian army. In 2011, the two armies had a conflict over the ownership of Preah Vihear Temple, and the Thai army did not gain any advantage. Fourteen years later, Cambodia's ground forces have significantly improved, especially in terms of targeted improvements for mountainous jungle warfare. Therefore, in this recent conflict, the Thai army still finds it difficult to gain an advantage.
