Air Force Deploys F-16s and Gripens to Strike “Phu Makhuar” and Halt Cambodian Weapons

On July 26, 2025, the Royal Thai Air Force deployed two F-16 fighter jets and two Gripen jets to carry out airstrikes on “Phu Makhuar,” targeting Cambodian military positions attempting to launch indirect fire into Thai territory in an effort to seize the area.

Another operation was conducted near the Ta Muen Thom temple, where Cambodian troops had reportedly stationed artillery and personnel, firing erratically across the border into Thailand.

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