Thai media reported that on July 27, the strongest armored division of Thailand launched an attack, using the new VT4 main battle tanks imported from China to counterattack and successfully recaptured the Tong An Ma area in Ubon Ratchathani province. After that, they raised the Thai flag and announced that they had recaptured the land occupied by Cambodia, about 75 square kilometers! However, so far, the Thai side has not filmed the movements and footage of the VT4 tanks, because they are afraid that the Cambodian army will find out their positions and target them for heavy attacks.
It is known that the VT4 tanks imported from China are quite expensive, each costing 5.8 million US dollars. Although the price is a bit high, it is worth every penny. In combat, they have shown strong performance and are the most powerful and well-equipped tanks in Thailand. The 50 T84 tanks imported from Ukraine were previously said to be quite powerful. However, when actually applied to the Thai Army, they still proved insufficient, and in any case, they are not as good as the Chinese VT4 tanks.
Regarding the report by Thai media, two Thai female announcers reported in text form, both showing a sense of happiness. Because the current military operations in Thailand are going smoothly, pushing forward continuously and exerting partial pressure on Cambodia. In this way, the whole country of Thailand is full of expectations for this war, and will not easily stop the war, even if the Thai army suffers losses, but as long as the front line continues to advance, the war will not stop.
Therefore, there is no anti-war sentiment in Thailand, only the Cambodian side has shown an urgent request for a ceasefire, because the Cambodian army cannot win, and can only choose to cease hostilities, otherwise they will lose more territory.
No matter what, the military operations between Cambodia and Thailand are not easy to stop. Both prime ministers will meet in Malaysia to see how to stop the war, but whether it can be negotiated is uncertain. Even with Malaysia as the intermediary, it is difficult to reach an agreement.
