On July 26, 2025, local time, the Royal Cambodian Army publicly released footage of the movement of 59D/T-55 tanks. As the Royal Thai Army began to mobilize M-48, M-60, T-84 Fort, and VT-4 tanks, Southeast Asia will witness a battle between Chinese, American, and Ukrainian tanks. Looking at the current situation, with the full mobilization of the Royal Thai Army, especially the heavy armored forces bombing Cambodian military positions under the cover of F-16 fighter jets, the Royal Cambodian Army may not be able to win against the Royal Thai Army. The Royal Thai Army is not lacking in strength, but its air force is even stronger. The Royal Thai Navy has also deployed eight warships to block the Cambodian coastline. Even if Cambodia uses the Chinese-made 90B and AR-2 long-range rocket launchers to bomb Thailand, Cambodia still cannot win. Thailand's weapons and equipment are better, and more importantly, the air superiority is definitely Thailand's. In recent years, the Royal Thai Army, Navy, and Air Force have had a lot of cooperation with us. From this perspective, the Cambodian army should not last long. The cost of ammunition for rocket launchers is not something any country can easily afford. Originally, the ASEAN region was the most stable in the new round of international changes, but it ended up causing such a mess.
