Updated: 5/20/2026, 8:14:18 PM Wikipedia source
This is a list of the equipment used by the Royal Cambodian Army. In order to decrease its dependence on former Warsaw Pact military equipment (a legacy of the Kampuchean People's Revolutionary Armed Forces), Cambodia has begun to explore the possibility of purchasing Chinese and European vehicles and equipment. On 10 December 2021, the Prime Minister of Cambodia, Samdech Hun Sen, ordered the Cambodian Armed Forces to destroy or put into reserve all US-origin military equipment, in response to the American backed military embargo imposed on Cambodia.
