T-55 tankPHNOM PENH, Sep. 15, 2010 (Kyodo News International) -- Cambodia has purchased 94 tanks and armored personnel carriers from Eastern Europe sellers to strengthen its military capacity, a senior military official told Kyodo News on Wednesday.
The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said the tanks and APCs, along with several heavy military trucks, will arrive this weekend at Cambodia's coastal Sihanoukville Province about 230 kilometers southwest of Phnom Penh.
According to the official, of the 94 vehicles, 50 are T55 tanks and the other 40 are PTR26 APCs.
But the official refused to reveal the countries where the military vehicles were bought and nor their cost.
Other military sources suggested Cambodia decided to buy the equipment from Eastern Europe because many Cambodian military personnel were trained in Eastern Europe, especially in the then Soviet Union or countries that were once part of the Soviet Union.
When asked about the purchase new military equipment, Lt. Gen. Chhum Socheat, a spokesman for Cambodia's National Defense Ministry, said he had not been informed of new equipment, but added that was not surprising.
He said many countries are buying new military hardware and strengthening their military capabilities for ''their own homeland security as well as for the common fight against terrorism.''
The report of the new military equipment coincides with a visit to China by Cambodian Defense Minister Tea Banh.
According to Chhum Socheat, the minister left for China on Tuesday and will stay there for a week during which he will visit some factories producing military hardware.

I think on canon of those tanks should write that "Destroy SRP" Or "run over a coward Sam Rainsy".
Old stuffs - not modern enough to kill the siams
To be used against the poor helpless cambodian population in case they get "the urge" to overthrow a corrupt regime.
L'histoire sans fin!
2:20 PM
Old stuffs, better than nothing.
Remembered, North-Vietnam did not have the westerners or US Military equipment's, but still won the war again the US army.
Better than nothing...Remeber the Khmer Republic
And now after they Viet Won the war ,they go to crap US legs and lick US balls to come back and help them with Parcel Island from China.Now all American companies spread all over the Viet country what kind of winner is it?
Another way to enrich the CPP circle under this dubious procurement ! These tanks will end up in the battalion of Hun Sen.

"50 are T55 tanks and the other 40 are PTR26 APCs."
=In the new war the arm force must light have a lot of fire power and be able to move fast at great distance into enemies territories and to have tanks are a sitting duck for helicopters and jet fighters!
As for PTR26 APCs are a good investment because it is light can move fast in the battle field!
The best investment for dirt poor Cambodia now is to invest in missile technology!
i am thai people when i came to this site i can see all KORN-KHEN don't like cpp at all so am i but i do like KORN-KHMEN BUT not KORN-VIETNAM if i am became a thia goverment i wil work with SRP TO kick COMMUNIST out off KAMPOCHA Ireally mean that

let's put a round from this 100mm smoothbore cannon on 2:20pm to see it at leat puts a gigantic through him. if it does, i think it does by the way, then it is good enough to kill crazy siems.
VN wine war because of their good leaders and their leaders are not such a corrupt as in Cambodia. See, even if VN and china are still communist but they have changed their leaders and ministers and politicians all the times and years, unlike Cambodia CPP are keeping them as historical prime ministers, ministers and so on. Cambodia is tooo much corrupt and due to these bad leaders Cambodia will never been living in peace for long, khmer leaders from all the generations have been so stacked to power, no one is having a family and wealth scarification or conscienceless. we, khmer, don't have a single good or heroic leader so far. like Ah kvak HUN SEN is seemingly transference the power to his son to avoid their future trial or future hang like Sadam.
Cambodia will never being long in peace while its leaders 's mind are no peace. Cambodia and its people are now suffering with a fake regime. Cambodia and its people are living with unacceptable regime with hidden suffering, the right is stolen, wealth of the people and nation are stolen by CPP and crooked ministers and officers.

These tanks would be used to crush Khmer land grabbibg victims..
What Cambodia needs are tactical nuclear warheads tipped on medium range missiles and some thermo nuclear weapons to wipe out populations the size of 50-100 million people. We kon Khmer younger generation who were trained and worked in the West and the former Soviet Union can pull together such devices. They are also good as deterent tool. We will make the builders of Angkor/Khmer Empire proud if we can come up first with weapon-grade uranium/plutonium.
ah yuon puppet hun xen orders to buy this to use for grabbing the land from poor people, not fight with siam because he had the support weapon from yuon for battling with siam.
Justice lover at Phnom Penh capital
LOOK AT THOSE BULLDOZERS HERE!!!
before: CAMBODIA
currently: NAMBODIA
"2:38 PM: Better than nothing...Remeber the Khmer Republic"
Are you happy of spending million $ for rubbish?
old technology...
Vietcong used old technology to killed US armies...
even outoff date tank
KHMER military know how to operate it or buy to show off
sone day youn have a chance take to vietnam and sell to scrap metal
A General didn't know they buy tanks? What's up with that? Was he not informed? Was he out on vacation? It shows how well they communicate. omg
old stuff, a waste of national money. If you spend millions of dollars, why don't you buy a few good ones? A week ago, Saudi Arabia agree to spend $60 billions to buy brand-new American warplanes and big guns, Thailand as well did the same. What are the Hun Xen government's junkyard tanks for but to scare his own people who are not willing to give them their land.
If khmer do it right .it should be one of the power in the region because it has all kind of natural resources . but if it's stupid.it lost every things and becomes the begger .wait a minute it is already a begger .

CPP do not need tanks to supress the poor and weal Camnbodian!
And this much of tank canot use to ivade the biger and more powerfull neighbors!
Do you! evere remember the suprised news a few weeks ago?
-Hun Sen jumpout of some group tryig to arest him?
The TANKS are to fight against the other poor equiped Cambodia militreey divisions !
And that why the army spoker person have idea about it!
Good luck Tea Bunch in China, You may end up like Hok Landy in your way back!

Refurbished tanks from VA...Thanks!
Thailand got that Tank killer Apache Holicoptor. Tanks is good for land eviction thou LOL...
Buying tank in this day and age is a wrong investment for the Cambodian military because it is heavy and lack of maneuverability in fighting close combat!
Why not learn from American military in the occupation of Iraq because most American tanks got blown up by the "An improvised explosive device (IED), also known as a roadside bomb due..."en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Improvised_explosive_device
Tell me how many military personnel are needed to maintain these tanks and what is the cost of the spare!
I believe these T55 tanks are used to scare Cambodian people nothing more and nothing less! These T55 tanks are useless in the battlefield! I just hope that AH HUN SEN will have a chance to use his new found toy called T55 tank because Mother Nature will take away from him by rusted it inside out and turn it into pile of rusted junk metal!
