Vympel is seeing demand for smaller platforms with UAV capabilities in the Southeast Asia
The Russian company is embarking on a programme to market its Scorpion and Katran platforms in the region...
... "Another demand that we are seeing is for the usage of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) from onboard naval and coastguard vessels. What we are introducing are variants of the Scorpion and Katran boats that can embark UAV's similar in size to the Camcopter S-100 that is going to be used by a navy in this region", Chikayev added that the UAVs can be deployed for maritime surveillance, reconnaissance, and search and rescue (SAR) missions.
According to Chikayev, the company has been approached by "at least two" Southeast Asian navies and coast guard services but declined to reveal what these countries are.
COMMENT
At the Singapore Airshow in February 2014, Austrian firm Schiebel confirmed that it was in talks with the VietnamPeople's Navy (VPN) to supply the Camcopter S-100 rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle. Vympel's hints of its platform being configured to operate the UAV could be an indication that the VPN is looking to acquire the Scorpion and Katran boats. Vietnam is under pressure to improve its maritime surveillance capabilities especially after the May 2014 skirmish with China in the South China Sea.

our s-300/400 and other missiles are land based defence shield and can destroy arial threats when they approach vietnamese mainland and come within range. our shield would never be capable to take down all incoming enemy missiles.
what we are missing is a sea based missile shield, that acts a prewarning system and destroys a part of targets midair. frigates and destroyers with sophisticated airdefence systems are the best means.
not sure if this is already posted
VN self produced 105mm gun (US origin), range 11.5 km, firing rate 10 a minute.

$40m for a 4,100 t frigate sounds ok and reasonable to me. how to convince John McCain?Your dream may come true. Well you can't get free Aegis, but if you lobby John McCain enough, he may consider transferring this OHP class frigate for free.
They have already offered to transfer, by grant, 2 each to Thailand and Mexico. They only need to pay for the refurbishment and transfer cost (~$30-40 million).
Would that satisfy your fantasy?
Even if the US charges the full price, it would still only be $120 million each including refurbishment.

I suggest Vietnam offers more port visits to the US navy. at present, we limit the visit one per year. that is rediculous.

bro, I think of assaults in the form of balistic and cruise missiles coming from the south china sea, from chinese subs and destroyers.Not really, ballistic missiles come from the top and a land based system is what Vietnam needs. For a country like Japan is the other way around, the navy makes a shield against missiles coming from the direction of China (still coming from the top, but from china's direction), but for Vietnam, where the missiles will come from the chinese mainland (from the second artillery corps), a naval shield would be totally unnecessary and most inefficient at the same time. The ships would also be more vulnerable. @Nihonjin1051 What do you think?
S-300 / 400 can intercept a lot of missiles actually, but their capability to intercept is determined by how many fire control radars the battery has and by how many TEL's with interceptor missiles. Its up to Vietnam to buy enough of those 2 to intercept as many as VN wants.
yes, that is what the US navy wants: regular access to Cam Ranh bay or other ports. they want to observe chinese activities in the south china sea, especially to keep an eye on chinese nuclear subs. the nuclear powered subs pose a serious threat to America security.Agree, and US has been asking for more port visits.

No, only an AEGIS can satisfy Viet's fantasy, that's why he wants a naval shield against ballistic missiles, because those are AEGIS ships.
See @Viet we already know you.

and how to capture them mid course at an early stage.
How to convince McCain? send some money to me and I'll come up with a plan to convince him.
Keep in mind those OHP class frigates only runs on gas turbine engines. But oil price has gone down anyway.
What do you think of those Russian Scorpion and Katran missile boats? do you think the analyst is right in predicting that VN is likely one of the customer?
I'm not a fan of those tiny boats. And they probably cost more than $40 million.
Better to buy that OHP class frigate with 64 Barak-1 or Barak-8.
