Korean is marketing their self-built warships,
Any reliable source about that !?The US weapon quality always at the state of art.
The Soviet Union learn a lot from what Vietnam take from US and send to them.
From Cobra helo to F4, F5...

You got ahead of me, I was about to post the article, very interesting about the Tor, I knew about the Buk, but for the Tor I only knew rumors that were not very solid, so I thought it was a low chance, but no.
@Black Flag So much for SIPRI

Korean or Damen 's design will be good for us.
sorry, no original link. the article I posted is from a viet controlled state media quoting from a russian state media.Viet, can you find the original Russian article that was sourced? I couldn't find the link in your article.
I think so. the stock market is very hot now, chaos everywhere. I´ve increased the holdings of US stocks. a little bit too early investing more in Chinese mainland stocks.NiceGuy is awesome, I like him. I think he is busy making money on the stock market now.

Yea, I've only heard about the Tor rumour once. Other than that, it doesn't make sense since the Pantsir is a much more modern system with longer range missiles.
I won't believe this rumour 100% cos I don't fully trust news journalists. Remember when another Russian news article claims that VN had bought 500 T-72 back in 1990? another one said VN is buying 6 Gepards. These news sites sometime makes mistake too.
I think Interfax is the most reliable Russian news source. I'll check their site when I have time. The last article I've read from them, an official from Almaz-Antei was complaining how the US defense industry is now trying to infiltrate the market in VietNam lol. Good news for VN.
Anyway, I won't be making any serious posts here anymore. I'll just stick to posting fun and non-serious stuff. For serious posts, I'll go over to DF India, I expect less biased mods over there. Hopefully some Indian and Korean members there can give more insights too as their defense export is getting much more serious (with VN and other ASEAN being potentially big clients).
Carlosa...that is very surprising, and not a good sign in the bilateral relationship. I think VN government does no longer trust CN commitment to solve the dispute fair and peaceful. Though the most important point is, VN itself does not join the arbitration like the Philippines, but only sends notes to the court. the notes state Vietnam stance. And, Vietnam supports the stance of the Philippines by sueing China.
China rejects Vietnam claims in arbitration submission over South China Sea dispute | South China Morning Post
The South China Morning Post understands that Vietnam sent a statement to the Permanent Court of Arbitration (PCA) at the Hague last Friday, making three main claims in clear opposition to China’s stand.
First, it stated that it recognised that the court had jurisdiction over the case submitted by the Philippines, in direct contradiction to China’s own recently reiterated position that it had no such authority.
Second, it asked the court to give “due regard” to Vietnam’s legal rights and interests in the Spratleys, Paracels, and in its exclusive economic zone and continental shelf when deciding on the merits of the Philippine case.
Finally, it also rejected the Chinese nine-dash line demarcation – the basis of Chinese claims to ownership of the vast spread of the South China Sea – saying that it was “without legal basis”.
no, india is hesitant to provide us with the missiles. latest news says, india wants to join the international missile control regime, then decides the request of vietnam. when it is going to happen, nobody in vietnam knows.sir,isn't India offered Vietnam brahmos.
well, we can expect chinese aggression like we have seen how they do with the philippines. be prepared.Any court of arbitration is more gentle than the international police, I mean USA.

Considering how Chinese leadership behaves recently, the move is overdue, I assume.
