Vietnam Defence Forum

Well look like this year will introduce plenty of new stuff to our Ground Force , both armor and infantry :)
 
Yes, its either a T-54 or T-55 upgraded to a T-55AMV standard using a local upgrade.
Looks not too bad. The Israelis just open a military attachee office. Expecting them to assist the upgrade.
 
Special BRM variant , common when incoming typhoon or flood

Right now even Russia still very hard to build destroyer or some big ship like these, they were build under USSR, after the fall of USSR, most of ship building factories belong to Ukraina, even aircraft carrier building factory
Right now i prefer some smaller project like:
Project 1166.1( gerpad)
Project 2038.0 or 2038.5 (Steregushchy-class with Redut SAM- VLS)
or
Project 22350 (Krivak-class or Talwa class)

 
Maintance such ships wont be cheap and considering that our potential "enemy" will surely outnumber us , we seed something small , fast yet have the capablility to deliver heavy punch , preferably frigate or corvette
 
if we want to become a sea power, then we must think out of the box, become more ambitious, develop something that surprises friends and enemies. our navy lacks of big warships that serve as fleet and aerial defence. life is never easy (what is easy today?), every kid knows big ships costs more than small ones. sure, after the collapse of the USSR, Russia lost the major ship buiding industry to Ukraine (perhaps the reason why Putin annexed the Crime and wants more), but I´m pretty sure the russians have blue prints, Technology and Expertise of building destroyers. all we need is to convince them to give us to build in our shipyards. Even if we can only build the hull, and import the rest such as propulsion, Radar and Missile Systems. the costs of building, operating and maintenance of major warships if we combine under our hand will be reduced to an affordable level.

move forward, never stand still.

built by Halong shipyard, 8 ships for Bahamas.

A multi-purpose transport and landing ship being built for the Royal Bahamas Defence Force (RBDF) has been launched at Damen's Halong Shipyard in Vietnam, the company announced in a release on 30 July.

The vessel, which Damen refers to as the RoRo 5612, is being supplied as part of the RBDF's $232 million 'Sandy Bottom Project' which includes the procurement of four Damen Stan Patrol 4207 coastal patrol vessels and four Damen Stan Patrol 3007 Sea Axe patrol craft.

The 722-tonne ship, also referred to as the Damen Stan Lander 5612, is equipped with a 25-tonne crane and features a roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) design to facilitate the movement of cargo.

This is what Vietnam needs, project 22160, from the same shipyard that makes the Gepard, 94 meters long, 1700 tons, but much better weapon systems than the Gepard.

8 Klub missiles and a Shtil air defense system.

since 1965 in service: developed by the USSR, medium range S-75 Anti aircraft missile, credit to shooting down many US B-52 strategic bombers during the Vietnam war, continues forming a part of Vietnam air defence network.

The shipbuilding industry of Ukraine was located in Nikolaev, not Crimea.

That's wrong statement about shipbuilding industry.
Soviet Destroyers mostly were build in Saint-Petersburg, All nuclear powered submarines in Severodvinsk and in Far East, all design bureaus were in Russia as well. Severodvinsk also can build aircraft carriers.

There is also a new shipbuilding complex under construction in Russia. This complex are capable to build hulls for aircraft carriers and big landing ships.
The Zvezda Shipbuilding Complex will be able to construct tankers with a displacement of up to 350 thousand tons, LNG carriers up to 250,000 cubic meters, ice class vessels, specialized vessels with a launch weight up to 29,000 tons, offshore platform units, and other types of ships.

Ukraine had only one a big shipyard in Nikolaev and now it's pretty much dead.

Anyway, some photos from official ceremony of placing a 3rd and a 4th diesel electric submarines in active service in Vietnamese Navy. ;-) (01.08.2015)
