Thailand's Army Using Israeli Military Technology in Border Conflict with Cambodia
(Jerusalem Post) Anna Ahronheim - Thailand has increasingly relied on advanced defense systems developed in Israel to gain a tactical edge in its border conflict with Cambodia, using Israeli self-propelled artillery, reconnaissance drones, and communication platforms. These tools provide precise targeting capabilities and real-time intelligence, allowing the Royal Thai Army to monitor Cambodian troop movements and respond swiftly to incursions. While Cambodia's forces are outfitted with aging Soviet-era gear and Chinese-supplied armaments, Thailand's incorporation of Israeli technology enables more surgical responses, resulting in minimal collateral damage. Thailand has been acquiring Israeli defense technology since the 1970s, and has transferred knowledge to enable local manufacture and production of certain weapons systems.
