The Weaknesses of Vietnam Military

[Nike]

I had said about Vietnam weakness on ground forces. especially their outdated equipment and uncommonality with their neighbor (especially the member of ASEAN islands Nation like Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Philippine). For Naval forces, for a coastal Nation Vietnam seem fine and punching above her weight.

Weaknesses?Like tanks,planes,ships...and so on,ultimately they are base on money and no one can conjure money,can't you?
No offence,i think the biggest weakness of vietnam military is its strategic goal.Your ambition is far more than your ability,you aren't Japan(We have a common and happy border,don't we?) and even Japan can't achieve during the weakest time of China.
So you can't "unify" indochina under China's monitor.Actually no matter how powerful you are,you are the weak when you face China.Actually,i don't think that Vietnam has to retain such a big scale army(compare to your economy).Big scale army is a heavy load of your country and your government has to permit the "military business".We all know what will happen in "military business".(Corruption,corruption and corrruption)
In my opinion,vietnam should reduce its army scale and update their weapon system.NO ONE will attack you(unless you want to "unify" indochina.),because any invasion to vietnam is not ecognomical.

What's the Viet military budget?

I think $10-15 billion USD / year

Who gives a ****. Vietnam is like a midget who think weight training will make him become taller and stronger so he can take on someone who is 6feet 5

Watching too much Captain America ain't healthy

Lack advanced weapons ... those need enough military expenditure to import from foreign or enough techs & skills to develop domestic weapon system ... Vietnam as a developing country, lack both and need spend many years to get them.

Welcome any comments with evidences or comparisons to point out the weaknesses of Vietnam military.
Have in mind that Vietnam almost play defensive role and aim to protect their land, sea, air only.

So don't blame that Vietnam doesn't have aircraft carrier, ... LOL
