Welcome back to the Defense news channel for a discussion about Breaking Military News: For the first time in history, the Swedish-built Saab JAS 39 Gripen has been deployed in live combat. On July 26, 2025, the Royal Thai Air Force launched precision airstrikes against Cambodian artillery positions amid the ongoing Cambodia–Thailand border conflict.
This historic operation not only marked the Gripen’s combat debut since its maiden flight in 1988 but also highlighted Thailand’s growing airpower dominance in Southeast Asia. With advanced radar, precision-guided weapons, and support from Saab 340 AEW&C aircraft, the Gripens executed surgical strikes that reshaped the battlefield.
Meanwhile, the Royal Cambodian Air Force — lacking fighter jets — remains at a severe disadvantage. What does this mean for the regional balance of power?
Watch our full analysis of the Gripen’s first-ever combat operation, Thailand’s air superiority, and its implications for future conflicts in Southeast Asia. Defense News is a YouTube channel dedicated to military world lover.
