Thailand even reported that nine of their soldiers and three civilians were killed as a result of the Cambodian attack.
They also claimed that Cambodia continued to attack using rocket launchers and kamikaze drones.Meanwhile, Thailand responded by deploying fighter jets.
So far there have been no reports of Cambodia using fighter jets during its war with Thailand.
Does the Phnom Penh-based Cambodian government have fighter jets?
The Cambodian Air Force does not have fighter jets or bombers.Until 2025, they only have transport aircraft and utility helicopters, including the Mi-17 and Z-9.
According to them, the most sophisticated aircraft that Cambodia has is the Airbus A320, a transport aircraft used by the government for overseas visits.This is the equivalent of the Southeast Asian country’s version of Air Force One, he was quoted as saying

For lighter transportation needs, Cambodia operates two Chinese-made Xian MA60 aircraft which are useful for transporting troops, logistics and sending aid.
The Cambodian Air Force also has a Chinese-made turboprop aircraft, the Harbin Y-12, which can reach difficult areas.
Without fighter aircraft, Cambodia is unable to carry out air-to-air or air-to-ground strikes against Thailand, it was quoted as saying

.
Cambodia has been dependent on land weapons.This country has around 200 battle tanks and 480 artillery units including 460 rocket launchers.This power is only effective for land warfare.
However, without air protection these systems remained vulnerable to Thai air attacks and lacked air defense mobility.
Considering that there are no fighter planes, it will be difficult for Cambodia to beat Thailand, which has fighter jets and bombers.
