| T-84 Oplot |
For the first time, Thailand used its main battle tanks, the Ukrainian-made T-84 Oplot, in combat. According to local media and military observers, the Royal Thai Army used these tanks during an attack on the positions of the Cambodian military in the border area. Tanks were used during the assault on Cambodian positions .
The T-84 Oplot is a Ukrainian development based on the Soviet T-80UD. Thailand acquired 49 such tanks under a contract signed in 2011. Their use on the border with Cambodia has aroused considerable interest, and military observers have confirmed the use of tanks in combat. This event was marked as the first combat use of Oplot tanks in the Thai army.
