Cambodia has bought nearly 100 tanks, armored personnel vehicles and other military trucks from Eastern Europe, military and port officials said Monday.
The officials said nearly 100 tanks, armored personnel vehicles, and military trucks were shipped off Sihanoukville Sea Port on Monday and will later be taken to Phnom Penh.
Chhum Socheat, a spokesman for Cambodia's Ministry of National Defense confirmed the arrivals of the military trucks, but refused to give exact number and other details.
However, he said, they were bought from Eastern Europe.
The Sihanoukville Sea Port officials said they saw around 50 tanks, and 40 armored personnel vehicles and a few other military trucks.
They said those military equipment were shipped on a large vessel of about 120 meters long and 17 meters wide.
Sihanoukville Sea Port is located in Sihanoukville Province, a coastal area and is about 230 kilometers southwest of Phnom Penh.
Last week, Koy Kuong, spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also confirmed Cambodia is to receive a shipment of 50 tanks and 44 armored personnel carriers from an Eastern European country, but decline to give the details, just saying that the vehicles were to be "used for national defense."

COMBED POVERTY PEOPLE!!!
CPP members and supporters must be happy because these tanks are to harm your relatives in the future.
the bodyguard units may revolve cause they can not stand the injustice and don't want to be end up like ah Duch!
Don't worry, the tanks would be used to kill CPP members and supporters themself because Hun Sen is a dictator, no more opposition in the future, then only other CPP members and supporters would raise up against him.
1:11 AM No wonder, ah!
good for cambodia's national defense. god bless cambodia.
other regional countries are buying weapons, too, you know, so why just complain about cambodia! are people biased with cambodia? go figure!
Those tanks will be added to the special units that protect Hun Sen from other CPP leaders because Hun Sen Don't trust anyone.
