BANGKOK, March 4 (TNA, Agencies) - Thai Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva on Thursday said the test of a multiple-military rocket launcher in Cambodia an internal concern of the government in Phnom Penh and that Thailand has no problem with the test.
The Cambodian defence minister said some 200 projectiles from the Russian-made BM-21 rocket launcher were fired in the mountains of remote Kampong Chhnang province, some 50 miles (80 km) north of the capital Phnom Penh.
Cambodian Prime Minister Hun Sen was quoted by international media as saying that the exercise was "not about showing any military muscle", even though he is at loggerheads with the Thai government, but said it was to prepare for the defence of his country.
Mr Abhisit said the planned exercise was notified in advance and he has discussed the matter with Thailand's top military brass.
"I don't believe the test is intended to threaten the Thai military as I understand that it is a normal military exercise," Mr Abhisit said, stating that the Cambodian military drill was unrelated to the current political situation in Thailand.
Relations between Thailand and Cambodia have worsened since the Cambodian prime minister appointed Thailand's ousted former prime minister Thaksin Shinawatra as an economic adviser last year and refused to extradite him to Thailand to serve his two-year jail term for violating the law on conflict of interest.
The anti-government "Red Shirts" led by the pro-Thaksin United Front for Democracy against Dictatorship (UDD) announced a planned mass rally in Bangkok on March 14 to protest what they accused of a double standard in Thailand's judiciary.
Thailand's Supreme Court ruled last Friday that Mr Thaksin had illegally concealed his ownership of stock in Shin Corp, the family's telecommunications empire, and abused his authority during his two terms in office, from 2001-2006, to benefit Shin Corp businesses.
The Court also ordered the seizure of Bt46.373 billion (US$1.4 billion) out of Bt76.6 billion ($2.29 billion) in frozen assets of the Shinawatra family.

ReplyDeleteSAM7 is not sophisticate soviet land to AIR Missile. There is no way in the world to compare and compete to US Patriot which is Land to AIR and AIR to AIR missile.
F-15 Eagle, F-16 Hornet, F-18 Falcon can searches and target Soviet SA7 within 250 mile range Radius. The SA7 already destroyed before they fly pass! over and out!

ReplyDeleteOur Dek Korl (Nail) Prah Bath Samdech Hun Sen and Prah Ker Mohe Sey Bunrany are our Hanoi savior including the ordinary Sdech Chrourt Lourng Prah Bath Norodom Sihanouk who is the servant of our dear leader Hun Sen.
ReplyDeleteSamdech Dek Korl (Nail), Hun Sen, has only a few rockets to show off Thailand. I'm Khmer in the US, but I hate Hun Shit from my butt. He should shoot those rockets to Hanoi instead, not to Thailand. He is just a stupid leader who protects Youn people and their government interest.
As some commentators mentioned F16 will locate those targets miles away before Hun Sen can shoot. Make sure F16 target Hun Sen's residence first and the rest of his top leutenants. Then, Thailand should put Sam Rainsy in charge to control Cambodia. Thailand will be benefit to Cambodia people and we will give you 4.4km land only at Preah Vihear. Cambodia people will be friend of Thailand who liberate us from Hun Sen and Youn Vietcong. The same way as Youn placed Hun Shit in charge and control him. Now it's Thai turn to do so. He is just a trouble maker like Sadam or Chavez.
Then, Cambodia will be safe from Hanoi aggression.
Drop the smart bombs at Hun sen. We support you, Thailand.
Shame on you Hun Sen and your government . what in the world make you want to show off the weapon that has been out of date ? It looks pretty good for ignorants who have no access to real news , but for people overseas , its embarrassing to see that our country is 50 years behind technology. They can hit Hun Sen's house from hundreds of miles away without crossing the border .
ReplyDeletePeople who said Thai pilots don't know how to fly F 16s , take a look at Khmer Rouge when they challened Thai Soldiers along the border in 1976 and Thai sent 2 jet fighters to drop a few bombs in Siem Reap . How many Khmer Rouge die at that time ? If you are not old enough to know that, you can ask Hun Sen or any of those Ex-Khmer Rouge leaders about it .I was in a youth special force at that time .
ReplyDeleteWell, Abhishit jivava dog! internal affair or not, you better not encroaching into our territory again, otherwise, your Azzz will be like KFC! got that bitch..?
ReplyDeleteWar starts in March per Thai fortune teller's reading...
