Thai Air Force

The Thai Air Force is the aerial warfare branch of the Royal Thai Armed Forces. It is currently newsworthy due to its involvement in recent border clashes with Cambodia. Specifically, the Thai Air Force has conducted airstrikes on Cambodian territory, targeting what they claim are fortified military positions and logistics centers, including areas near Poipet, a major border crossing and casino hub. These actions have been met with accusations from Cambodia of indiscriminate attacks against civilian areas. The airstrikes occurred even as ceasefire talks were ongoing between the two countries. The Thai Air Force's actions highlight the ongoing tensions and territorial disputes between Thailand and Cambodia and their potential for escalation.
