Royal Cambodian Air Force
The Royal Cambodian Air Force is one of the smallest air forces in Asia: founded as the Aviation Royale Khmère by royal decree on 22 April 1954, it grew to 211 aircraft under American aid by 1975, was scattered in the Khmer Rouge victory, rebuilt around 19 Soviet MiG-21s in the 1980s, and today flies no combat jets at all — only a few dozen transports and helicopters, which is why the 2025 border war with Thailand was fought in the air by one side only.
The Royal Cambodian Air Force story: Sihanouk’s neutral air force, the Khmer Air Force at war and a border war without fighters
1954–1970: Sihanouk’s neutral air force, supplied by everyone
Cambodia’s air force was created by a royal decree of Prince Norodom Sihanouk on 22 April 1954 as the Aviation Royale Khmère (AVRK), commanded by his personal physician, Colonel Dr Ngo Hou. It began with four Morane-Saulnier Criquets and three Cessnas, and French instructors opened a flying school at Pochentong that October. Sihanouk’s neutrality meant accepting aircraft from anyone: T-6G trainers, C-47s and H-34 helicopters from the United States; 16 AD-4N Skyraiders and Alouettes from France; four Fouga Magisters in 1961; and, from November 1963, MiG-17Fs, a MiG-15UTI, An-2s and Il-14s from the Soviet Union, with J-5 fighters from China. By March 1970, according to Wikipedia’s account of the service, the AVRK had 1,250 officers and airmen and 143 aircraft of 23 types — a museum of the Cold War rather than an air force, and very hard to keep flying.
1970–1975: the Khmer Air Force at war
After the coup of March 1970 the air arm sided with the Khmer Republic and was renamed the Khmer Air Force on 8 June 1971. It was nearly wiped out first: on the night of 21–22 January 1971 a North Vietnamese sapper raid on Pochentong destroyed or badly damaged 69 aircraft, including the MiGs. American aid rebuilt it around T-28D fighter-bombers, AC-47 and AU-24 gunships, UH-1 helicopters and C-123K transports, and by January 1975 Brigadier General Ea Chhong commanded about 10,000 people and 211 aircraft. The record was mixed. T-28 pilots flew up to 70 sorties a day in October 1973 and, in March 1974, destroyed at least 125 trucks in one strike at Dambe; but disloyal pilots also bombed the presidential palace in March 1973, killing 43 people according to Wikipedia’s sources, and attacked Phnom Penh twice more before the end.
1975–1989: Khmer Rouge, Vietnamese invasion and the MiG-21s
When Phnom Penh fell on 17 April 1975, 97 aircraft escaped to Thailand with their crews. The Khmer Rouge salvaged what was left, including 22 T-28Ds and 20 UH-1s, and flew a handful from Ream until United States Navy jets bombed the field during the Mayaguez incident on 15 May 1975. Democratic Kampuchea also received fighter aircraft from China and used forced labour, more than 10,000 workers by 1977, to build a jet airfield at Kampong Chhnang that was never finished. After Vietnam took Phnom Penh on 7 January 1979, the People’s Republic of Kampuchea rebuilt a small air arm with Soviet and Vietnamese help. Its centrepiece was 19 second-hand MiG-21bis and three MiG-21UM trainers delivered from the USSR in 1982, with three more trainers from Bulgaria, alongside Mi-8, Mi-17 and Mi-24 helicopters and An-24 transports; about 1,500 personnel trained in Vietnam and the Soviet Union.
1993–2024: a helicopter air force
The State of Cambodia’s forces were merged into the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces on 24 September 1993, after the Paris Peace Accords and the UN-run election. The MiG-21s did not survive the peace. Cambodia sent them to Israel for an upgrade to MiG-21-2000 standard, but, according to Wikipedia’s list of operators, which cites Gordon, Dexter and Komissarov, only one MiG-21bis and one MiG-21UM came back rebuilt, and by 2007 all were reported stored and out of service. The L-39 trainers went the same way. What remained was a helicopter and transport air force: Mi-8s and Mi-17s, Chinese Harbin Z-9 helicopters, a Harbin Y-12 and two Xian MA60 transports, and a single A320 for VIP flights. Wikipedia’s summary of FlightGlobal’s figures gives about 31 aircraft; strength estimates range from 1,500 to 5,000 people.
2025–2026: a border war fought in the air by one side
That weakness was exposed on 24 July 2025, when fighting broke out on the Thai border near Prasat Ta Muen Thom. Each government says the other fired first. Within hours, according to Wikipedia’s compilation of media reports, six Royal Thai Air Force F-16s bombed Cambodian positions at Chong An Ma, and Thai F-16s and Gripens struck again on 26 and 27 July. No sourced account reached for this page describes any Cambodian air force combat mission or aircraft loss; Cambodia answered with artillery, BM-21 rockets and drones. The Cambodian Mine Action Centre later displayed Mk 82 and Mk 84 bombs it said were dropped by Thai F-16s inside Cambodia, while Thailand said its jets hit military targets. After a ceasefire on 28 July and the Kuala Lumpur accord in October, Thai jets struck again in December before a ceasefire on 27 December 2025. Cambodia, with no fighters, could not contest its own airspace.

How the Royal Cambodian Air Force is organised
One headquarters at Pochentong in Phnom Penh, under the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, over a VIP squadron and a helicopter squadron. Cambodia has no operational combat aircraft: its MiG-21s were reported stored by 2007, and Wikipedia’s summary of FlightGlobal’s figures gives about 31 transports and helicopters. Strength estimates range from 1,500 to 5,000 people.
Air Force Headquarters
One of the services of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces, commanded by General Vong Pisen since 2018. English Wikipedia names General Soeung Samnang as air force commander, with four deputies; the date of his appointment was not confirmed, and no official Cambodian page confirming the post was reachable.
VIP Squadron
According to Wikipedia, the only operational fixed-wing aircraft at Pochentong belong to the VIP squadron. Its types, an A320 and Xian MA60s, are inferred from the service inventory and were not confirmed by an official source.
Helicopter Squadron
Harbin Z-9 and Mil Mi-17 helicopters based at Phnom Penh and Siem Reap, according to Wikipedia; no official unit designation was found, and whether the Siem Reap detachment stayed after the civil airport closed in October 2023 is not stated. Wikipedia’s inventory also lists nine Mi-8s.

Pochentong is the headquarters and main base, though its civil flights moved to Techo International in September 2025; Kampong Cham and Ream were Khmer Air Force bases until 1975, and Kampong Chhnang is the unfinished jet base the Khmer Rouge built by forced labour. Battambang, the Khmer Air Force Academy from 1970, has been a military airfield again since 2018, according to Wikipedia. Entries with no published aerodrome data carry no pin.
