Thai - Cambodia Conflict Thailand's Gripen Fighters Make Combat Debut in Cambodia Clash
Thailand's Gripen Fighters Make Combat Debut in Cambodia Clash YAS 39. File photo courtesy of โดย Tuomo Salonen / SIMFinnish Aviation Museum - commons file, CC BY-SA 4.0 Thailand's Royal Thai Air Force (RTAF) has marked a historic moment by deploying JAS 39C/D Gripen fighter jets in actual combat for the first time. On July 26, these Swedish-built warplanes saw action against Cambodian artillery targeting Thai positions amid a tense border dispute. In a coordinated mission, the Gripens flew alongside Thailand’s older F-16 Fighting Falcons. The operation was a success, with all aircraft successfully returning to base, underscoring the capability of the Gripens in active conflict. The Gripen, developed by Sweden’s Saab AB, is designed under the “Smart Fighter” concept. It excels in network-centric warfare, integrating with radar systems, ground stations, and other aircraft for real-time operations. This was the first time Thai Gripens transitioned from their usual roles in training, air shows, and patrols to an active combat scenario, reported the Bangkok Post. Globally, the Gripen is also used by the Czech Republic, Brazil, Hungary, and South Africa, but this was its debut in actual combat. Thailand selected the Gripen for its state-of-the-art technology, multi-role capabilities, and ability to operate from short runways, offering strategic flexibility in warfare. This first combat outing demonstrates the Gripen's value to Thailand's defence, highlighting its agility and technological advancement. The world will be watching closely to see how other nations currently using or considering the Gripen respond to its proven combat performance. Adapted by ASEAN Now from Bangkok Post 2025-07-31 -

Former US Green Beret says Israel committed war crimes at Gaza food distribution site | BBC
But keep in mind that those costs are not spend from some GDP but from the revenue of a country which is about 1/4 of the GDP in Israel so if you do the math with your 2%, the US is responsible for 8% of Israels income. I am not saying that the US is fully paying for the (mostly) free education and healthcare of Israel but thanks to the US and many other European countries Israel CAN afford it`s high class education and healthcare PLUS the weapons for the mass murder of civilians in the countries around it. The question you should ask yourself is why the US or any other country should pump Billions into a country which has the 13th highest GDP per capita in the world and much better healthcare and education than most of those donor countries ? I mean, if you decide to donate a fraction of your money to people in need, to whom would you wire that money? To the guy with the bigger car and house than you? -
