Thailand's F-16s and Gripens jointly bomb Cambodian indirect fire positions to defend two strategic areas

Provided by Nation.

The Royal Thai Air Force deployed a total of four F-16 and Gripen fighter jets to carry out airstrikes against Cambodian military targets in the Phu Ma Kua area and Ta Muen Thom temple, where Cambodian forces had positioned indirect fire weapons. The mission was successfully completed, and all aircraft returned safely to base.

On July 26, 2025, the Royal Thai Air Force dispatched two US-made F-16s and two Swedish-made Gripens to conduct an operation targeting Cambodian military positions in the Phu Ma Kua combat zone, following intelligence reports that Cambodian forces were preparing to use indirect projectile munitions in an attempt to seize control of Phu Ma Kua.A second target was located near Ta Muen Thom Temple, where Cambodian troops had reportedly set up artillery positions and personnel, indiscriminately firing into Thai territory.

The operation successfully neutralized both targets, and all aircraft safely returned to their operational base.
