SNR-125-2TM, and improved version of the baseline SNR-125. That's why I said we only defend our sovereignty and national interests. Mainland is part of the sovereignty, not all of it. Last time I checked, the first Chinese map that included the Spratly and Paracel (infamously known as the 9...

Friends, let me remind you that Vietnam doesn't want to take part in a new arms race. We simply want to defend our sovereignty and national interests. We don't invade anyone, so the current spending on national defense is acceptable. Fact is, we don't hope to defeat China or any potential...

Vietnam has opened the Cam Ranh maintenance facilities for foreign naval vessels and already taken several warships from other countries. But I do believe that we don't want to internationalize the problem in South China Sea. Only countries bordering the SCS should resolve these problems.

Redacted as in "censored", you can see that parts of the paragraph was censored to avoid mentioning the name of missile systems or radar.

ERA = Explosive Reactive Armor = that clam shell thingy on the turret front. This is a form of passive protection system which is default for T-90 MBT, no matter what variant we're talking about. No T-90 variant in active combat at the moment is equipped with Active Protection System (i.e...

Total mystery until I get my hands on it. @vtnsx The T-90 in Syria doesn't have active protection system. It was hit in the front of turret, the ERA successfully deflected the penetration jet stream.

According to that article, the TL-01 or KC-1 project was NOT based on Igla-S or Igla-1 design. Strange.

Some are civilians, others are active high ranking officers and NCOs. We'll never know. According to this document, the next 4 Molniya boats (M7-M10) will be armed with [redacted] missile systems instead of the Uran-E (3M24E and KCT-15). The Russians have agreed with this requirement and they...

Well, at least ComCom has access to restricted facilities and military bases that even bigger newspapers cannot get their feet onto. :woot::woot: Hanoi. What do you want to know from me?

Most likely speculation from Baodatviet and has no information to backup their claims. BDV has been an unreliable source in the last few years, they've spreaded more misinformation than actual facts or inside view. I'll keep a skeptical attitude with the EXTRA on Molniya thingy.

You can also heard that Vietnam might convert some KCT-15 into land-attack variant. And I believe that for the sole purpose of attacking enemy installation, the 3M14E on Kilo class subs would be better. The bold: Place a battery of EXTRA on Spratly Islands sounds sensible, right?

It IS a ground-to-ground rocket system, hence the name "Extended Range Artillery Rocket". Their designated purpose with the Navy is for shore-defense and counter-amphibious warfare. It might be sensible to equip large landing ships with an EXTRA launcher. But Molniya class? Better go with the...

Very strange, and make no sense at all.

Beside the ASW equipment and improved AK-176M1/Palma systems, I have no idea at all. Meanwhile, the Su-27 squadron might get something new, not just new paint job. Again, rumor said it to be improved avionics, allowing them to use the RVV-AE and tracking more targets at once.

Unfortunately no, didn't see any message. The message system here is very strange to me. Yes. Unconfirmed sources claim there are orders for a few battalions of T-90MS.

Yes, it's me. Seems like you didn't get my email, so I had to register here to contact you. :what::what:

Since I could not post a direct link, here's the quote and screen capture. Rough translation: On October 17th 2012, Vietnam ordered another two Gepard 3.9 frigate with ASW capability from Russia, the order worth is 700 million USD.
