The service ceiling is 16 Km of Barak-8, this missile never meant to target bombers or do a job of BMD.

But actually the second pulse motor and ARS activate at terminal phase, this missile is even capable to take high g even at high altitude.

Yes, Barak needs to be combined with a missile designed for long range and high altitude.
That's where the other missiles of the S-400 really excel.

Imagine a battery that combines the long range missiles of the S-400 and Barak 8 for shorter range. That would be a winner.

Yes, that would do it. The Israelis now also have an upgraded version of the Green Pine with much greater range.

Will Vietnam get even more submarines in the near future? Is 6 enough? What would be an adequate amount for vietnam? How far in the future do you guys think we would be capable of having an aircraft carrier like Thailand.

6 is a good start, but 12 or more is better. Let hope we will build the next 6 kilo in our shipyards.
aircraft carrier? Lol I think it is unrealistic right now.

Thailand aircraft carrier is really just like a helipad nowaday , we dont need it and the price for operating ones is really high , even that aircraft carrier only operate a day per month and serve as a tourist attraction

Was very surprise to learn that Thailand had an aircraft carrier. Should have done some google because then I would find out how small/old/and obsolete it is.

Within half a year, I probably will be in a submarine or aircraft carrier.
