Thailand vs Cambodia: As border fight escalates, one army resembles a toy against the other's war machine; Military mismatch explained
Synopsis Recent armed clashes between Cambodia and Thailand, the worst in over a decade, have spotlighted their military disparity. Thailand, with a $5.73 billion defence budget and 360,000 personnel, dwarfs Cambodia's $1.3 billion budget and 124,300 troops. Thailand's air force boasts F-16 fighters, while Cambodia lacks fighter jets. Thailand vs Cambodia: One has fighter jets, the other doesn't, the military gap that could decide the clash Tensions that had been simmering for months between Cambodia and Thailand erupted into armed conflict on Thursday, the worst skirmish between the two Southeast Asian neighbours in over a decade. With even a Thai F-16 fighter jet reportedly deployed, the latest flare-up has reignited interest in how the two countries compare a breakdown of the military capabilities of Cambodia and Thailand, based on data from the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS). Cambodia maintains a defence budget of $1.3 billion and fields 124,300 active personnel. The Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, formed in 1993 through a merger of former Communist and resistance groups, rely heavily on ground troops. The Cambodian army consists of around 75,000 soldiers, supported by 200+ battle tanks and 480 artillery contrast, Thailand boasts a significantly larger and better-funded force. With a 2024 defence budget of $5.73 billion and over 360,000 active personnel, Thailand's military dwarfs its neighbour's. The Thai army alone has 245,000 personnel, including 115,000 conscripts, and is equipped with 400 tanks, 1,200+ armoured personnel carriers, and 2,600 artillery air force is relatively modest, just 1,500 personnel, 10 transport planes, and 10 helicopters. It doesn't operate any fighter jets. The most notable aircraft in its fleet include 16 multi-role helicopters, with six Soviet-era Mi-17s and 10 Chinese Z-9s. On the other hand, Thailand's air force is among the best equipped in the region. With 46,000 personnel, it commands 112 combat-capable aircraft, including 28 F-16 Fighting Falcons and 11 Swedish Gripens. Its arsenal also includes surveillance drones and a fleet of transport and attack helicopters, including several U.S.-made Black navy is modest, with 2,800 personnel (including 1,500 naval infantry), 13 patrol/coastal vessels, and a single amphibious landing navy is a maritime heavyweight by comparison. With nearly 70,000 personnel, it includes naval aviation, coastal defence units, marines, and conscripts. Its fleet features: 1 aircraft carrier 7 frigates 68 patrol and coastal vessels Amphibious ships and landing craft capable of transporting hundreds of troops Its marine corps alone has 23,000 troops, supported by armoured vehicles and aviation assets such as helicopters and UAVs. While Cambodia has made steady investments in its armed forces, it remains significantly outmatched by Thailand in terms of manpower, equipment, and budget. Thailand's position as a major non-NATO ally of the United States ensures access to high-end military hardware and training. Inputs from Reuters

Vietnamese Stocks Reach Record High on Inflows, Trade Optimism
(Bloomberg) -- Vietnamese shares rose to a record high, aided by the return of foreign fund inflows amid optimism about a trade deal with the US. The benchmark VN Index rose 0.7% to 1,531.13 at the close, surpassing its last high in January 2022. Vietnam Prosperity JSC Bank and Vinhomes JSC were among the top contributors to the gains. Foreign investors have bought about $413.7 million of Vietnamese stocks on a net basis so far this month, according to data complied by Bloomberg. The Southeast Asian nation's equities have extended a rally since early July, when President Donald Trump said he had reached a trade deal with Vietnam with a 20% tariff, which is lower than the 46% duty first announced in April. While Vietnamese negotiators said they are still working out details of an agreement, there are expectations for global investors to further expand their exposure to the country's shares. 'The strong rally is on the back of robust GDP growth and reduced uncertainties over US tariffs,' said Ruchir Desai, a fund manager at Asia Frontier Capital in Hong Kong. 'If economic momentum continues in the second half and if there is no major impact on overall export growth especially to the US, then the rally can sustain.' Vietnam is keeping its target of at least 8% gross domestic product growth this year, and will continue to strive for economic expansion of 10% or above in 2026-2030, Deputy Prime Minister Ho Duc Phoc said earlier this month. The economy expanded by 7.5% in the six months through June. (Updates with closing level) More stories like this are available on
