Previously, reports of Chinese weapons failing in different countries have surfaced. However, this time the matter has become more serious because it has directly resulted in the loss of soldiers' lives.
Cambodia's Trust in China Shaken
This explosion during a live launch has weakened Cambodia's trust in China. The Cambodian army has been using Chinese weapons for a long time. However, such an incident has forced them to consider whether these weapons are reliable in war-like situations.
This incident has occurred at a time when tensions are constantly increasing on the border between Cambodia and Thailand. This conflict is becoming one of the most intense border clashes seen in Southeast Asia in years.
Chinese Weapons Failing Repeatedly
This is not the first time that Chinese weapons have failed during a conflict. Questions have been raised about weapons made in China on several occasions before. Following this incident, the discussion has once again intensified about how reliable Chinese weapons are in war-like situations.
According to reports, there have been reports of frequent malfunctions in the Chinese Type 90B rocket system during the ongoing border conflict between Cambodia and Thailand in 2025. Several such cases are said to have been reported in December 2025 as well.
