The tensions on the border between Thailand and Cambodia reached a new climax this week when both countries set up progressive weapons in battles who demanded dozens of victims.
Thailand set his Ukrainian produced for the first time T-84 oplot-Tanks attacked on Cambodian positions near the Preah Vihear Temple, a historically controversial area. In addition, heavy attack drones were used, the unlooked ammunition was heated, with a drone presumably lost by technical defect or friend fire.
The conflict escalated on Wednesday, the 24th, according to artillery bikes and air strikes, including bombing by Thai F-16 fight jets. Both sides accuse each other: Thailand claims that Cambodia began the drone attacks and then attacked a military base near the TA Muen Thom Temple, while Cambodia denies this and blamed Thailand for the first shot.
Civilians have already been met, with at least 12 fatalities in Thai area, including attacks on a petrol station and a hospital.
The military imbalance between the countries is clear. Thailand has an almost five times as large defense budget like Cambodia and has tanks, heavy artillery and its air force, including modern Gripen-Trmprm aircraft, mobilized. Cambodia, a closer allied China, reacted RM-70-rocket advertisers and attacks on residential areas. The international community, including the And and the ASEANasked for moderation, but so far the negotiations have been unsuccessful.
The conflict has had its roots in territorial disputes since the colonial period, but the latest escalation began after the death of a Cambodian soldier in May. Analysts fear a further tightening of the situation, especially since Thailand threatens to “intensify self -defense” and accuse Cambodia to the neighbors of the “unprooted aggression”.
Meanwhile, civilians flee the fights on the border, and hundreds of schools were closed for security reasons.
