I'm failing to see what Cambodia's move here is. Thailand is the one with more modern weapon systems and equipment. SEA needs to stop bickering nad fighting since China is the real long term enemy.

The Cambodian air force doesn't operate fighter jets at all... They don't even have a few clapped out MIG-21s.
So the only air targets for the Gripens would be helicopters and small/medium-sized turbo-prop transport planes.

As a matter of fact, calling artillery because some poor poppyfarmer made 5 potshots and scared some fatmericans shitless is not combat either, so lets extend this thought further. The us has not been in combat since WW2 and are the least experienced military in the whole world.

Cambodia didn't really start it and it isn't a real war, it's cover for (another) coup in Thailand. Cambodia is just trying to save face while Thailand sorts out it's internal politics.

It doesn't help that Cambodia kinda has a shitty government.

I'm not mad about it, just impressed. Cambodia are assholes but Thailand is clearly deliberately escalating things as cover for their coup. It helps that Shinawatra has suddenly been rehabilitated (remember she is one of the reasons the war is happening) and is kinda hot.

>muh coup
Except that isn't necessary at all, khmer shill. The courts already suspended the PM and the generals are fully integrated into the civilian political system and are more popular than ever now because of Hun Sen's retardation. You keep hoping for coups in Thailand while Cambodia is run by a literal khmer rouge dictator.

Cambodia was the one that escalated into lobbing rockets and killing civilians and their only excuse for doing it is Thais recalling their ambassador and closing the border. It's such a comically stupid evil move on Cambodia's part, matched in hilarity only by how hard they're now getting their shit pushed in.

There are no 'Khmer shills', they barely have internet access. The fact that you think there are marks you as a Thai shill however.

https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c9vrrj72xy7o

I find it hilarious that you are so stupid that your excuse is 'the coup already worked so it doesn't matter' like that will make anyone who isn't a third world retard chose a side between these two idiot nations.

Seriously, you are saying that it isn't Thailand's fault because they already overthrew the PM then terrorized her into going along with your dictator? You would have gotten more sympathy if you kept your mouth shut instead of reminding everyone that both sides are absolute scum.

At this point all you are doing is making everyone hope for a long war just to see as many of you (on both sides) die because the world is better off without either of you.

I like the gripen but exercises and BFM don't really amount to much unless they are part of bigger excercises like red flag etc. The amount of T-38/T-45s that got positive kill scores against the F-22 is in the double digit. Same with our MB-339s and M-346 scoring positive kills against F-15s, F-2000s, Rafales etc.
Why? because most of these excercises have specific set of ROEs and limitations.
The fact they mention "rounds" makes it clear they were doing either BFM or DACT.
I still believe the Gripen is the best choice for smaller nations who want a modern frontline fighter that doesn't break the bank and that can be operated from improvised runways.

No one has the slightest idea what you are talking about, no one cares. The vast majority of people here are Americans who don't know or care that either of you exist.

If anything you are doing the stupid thing Russians do where they go to places online where no one cares about their issues but are so obnoxious they create enemies. Right now no one cares about your conflict but your behavior is making people support Cambodia simply because they hate you. They don't hate Thailand, they hate you personally.

Your responses don't even make sense, it's obviously a script.

No one is doing any defense of anyone; as far as i can tell it's just Thai shills.

We had a very few Cambodian Americans politely explain what they knew and then they fucked off because even they don't care. Then there was a full blown 72 hour Thai shill invasion which was really confusing since no one cares but apparently /k/ pissed them off by not caring. No doubt as soon as something meaningless happens like Private Futa Fu Yu stubbing their toe they will be back.

It has to be the same idiots Russia hires, no one else is as good at getting everyone to hate them as they are.

The gripen has an advantage in combat range, but it isn't because of weight, it's because late variants (Gripen-E) are capable of super cruise, while competing Lockheed-Martin products (F35) aren't.

I don't know why there's so many arguments, they're for different scenarios. If you want to fight enemies with more advanced 4th generation fighters and more modern SAM systems then the F-35 is a much better pick. If you only expect to fight enemy military forces with relatively old or shorter ranges air defenses and early 4th gen fighters and older then the Gripen with lower operating costs makes more sense.
