Cambodian Military Conduct Parachuting Drill; Soldiers Landing All Over The City of Phnom Penh

Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

too dangerous
Navy Seals do it in the states. saw them do it into Wrigley Field (I was in the bleachers) this year in Chicago during the 'Air and Water' show in August.

Landed perfect even with one having a huge USA flag dangling from his heel. All of them landed right behind 2nd base.

Very cool by all accounts. The crowd went absolutely bonkers!

Cheers

And another hilarious video of the actual landing:



I love how everyone in the car is laughing their asses off!

A good job none of them landed on Chroy Changvar, I think that would have been a bridge too far :D

Just too funny. Can anyone say Banana Republic Military? Can you imagine if they were jumping into a hot LZ and being shot at? They would probably crap all over the enemy.
