10 minutes before the Chinese missile ceasefire, aimed at F-16, Cambodia's closest to a major achievement.
Thailand and Cambodia have ceased fire, but there are many things for both sides to summarize from this conflict. Ceasefire is a government-led matter, but for the military, they all want to achieve greater achievements before the ceasefire. According to reports, 10 minutes before the ceasefire was truly implemented, the armies of Thailand and Cambodia were still firing in the last moment. The Thai army dispatched F-16 fighter jets to bomb military bases within Cambodia, focusing on several military bases such as Fupi County, Tamong Temple, and Takhok Temple.
The Thai army also used artillery and tanks to attack Cambodian military targets. Meanwhile, Cambodia also used rocket launchers to strike Thai military targets. In this process, the highest moment for Cambodia since the war began appeared. According to reports, Cambodia used the HQ-12 air defense missiles from China to aim at the Thai F-16 fighter jets. Subsequently, Thailand confirmed that the F-16 fighter jet was targeted. It's a pity that Cambodia made an operational mistake at the last moment, leading to the missed opportunity to shoot down the F-16.
This can be considered the closest Cambodia has come to achieving a major success. However, due to limited training levels of Cambodia, it could not operate the equipment well, resulting in the loss of the corresponding opportunity. In this conflict, the Thai military had a clear advantage overall, but Cambodia also learned a lot through this conflict, accumulated experience, and gained many practical lessons. The F-16 almost lost its advantage at the last moment, which was a big warning for the Thai military.
