Poor Cambodian soldiers! go to fighting with thongs. But OMG, these BM-21 rockets are very scary, very big and long. But I hope the Cambodian troops can fire them accurately, not just fire them anywhere, they must hit their targets.

These Cambodian soldiers may appear poor and not well equipments with black leather boots or flakjacket like the Thai soldiers, but one thing anyone cannot judge them are their fighting spirit and the determinatin to defend their homeland from invaders. They are spychologically more battle-harden than the Thai soldiers. Thai military heavily rely on weapons to do the fighting for them. As far as Thai soldiers, when it comes to willingness to fight, they are more likely opt to drop their weapons and run. Some of the best equipt Thai soldiers are coward in disguise. They're only tough with innocent people who doesn't have guns.

Thailand love to have war with Cambodia. Thailand views Cambodia as weaker and militarily inferior because Cambodia is still recooperating from decades of wars. Thailand thought it could take advantage of this. So any little thing that Cambodia do that might offend Thailand, Thailand will enlarge that and create a reason to go to war with Cambodia. Thailand doesn't seem to love to have war with Burma or Malaysia. If Thailand is cocking attitudes toward Malaysia or Burma like it did toward Cambodia, we can guaranteed that Thailand will have itself f!@k in the ass like a little Thai girl with farang. Thailand should be more appreciative of Cambodia for being a friendly neighbor. One thing for sure, after this dust settle, you can bet that Cambodia will be more equipted the next time Thailand is interest of having a war with Cambodia.

Those rockets from BM-21 may not be like the American laser-guided smart-bombs, but they're quite accurate. Those rockets are not so different than the artillery rounds. Their distance are varies from several kilometers to about 40km. When fire off, depending on the distance and angle of trajectory, they will hit the target within the radius of about 200 squaremeters or about 4 square hectars. BM-21 is mainly use against a target of large concentration of troops, military vehicles, or artillery positions. True or not, one Camboidan military top commander had reported of destroying numerous Thai artillery positions during the first clash, possibly from the infamous BM-21.
