    World's top 10 militaries

    So does India replace China or the United States? Third maybe, especially if the Russian economy tanks any more (among other factors like brain-drain, misguided acquisitions programs, etc.), but second or first? Not likely with the state of the US and Chinese militarys and their continued...

    Vietnam Goes Shopping for U.S. Weapons

    Chaff interference. Seems you were right:yahoo:. It isn't so easy to detect a B-52 if it's trying not to be seen. I hope people stop arguing about this now. More on the B-52 in Vietnam, for anyone interested: Vietnam National Musée of History/Nouvelles

    Vietnam Goes Shopping for U.S. Weapons

    It's a disputed figure, so we'll have to agree to disagree - one that includes total loses, not just by SAM. But the premise is the same, the SAMs weren't too effective against a B-52 operating in an ECM heavy environment.

    Vietnam Goes Shopping for U.S. Weapons

    The USAF made some mistakes that the NVA could capitalize on, similar to the downing of an F-117 in Serbia - they flew the same routes too often. Do that too many times and the enemy just plops defense in your way. Of course when they fire massive quantities, jamming equipment isn't working...

    Vietnam Goes Shopping for U.S. Weapons

    :lol: You and me both:azn:. Wow! And thanks, I knew about some of the systems, like the UH-1s, but a nuclear reactor too:o:. Wow! That's a serious spoil of war. Any updates on potential P-3 sales? It was reported last year, around September, that the US was interested in selling the surplus...

    Vietnam Goes Shopping for U.S. Weapons

    Was the B-52 flown near China operating under combat conditions? It likely wasn't broadcasting EM countermeasures - this is the point @BoQ77 is trying to make. Detecting a non-evasive aircraft that wants to be detected - since it's making a statement, is far different from trying to locate a...

    Vietnam Goes Shopping for U.S. Weapons

    This:partay:: @BoQ77 the OP mentions spare parts for captured or left behind US equipment? What US gear does Vietnam use and needs repairs? And is there any chance Vietnam would be interested in an LCS type ship (Freedom class), perhaps an up-gunned version, as is being proposed to the USN...
