HUONG NON, VIETNAM — In 1968, young American soldier John Wast was scouring a battlefield in central Vietnam for weapons and intelligence when an enemy helmet with an image of a dove scratched onto it caught his eye. He tied it to his rucksack, and five months later took it home as a war souvenir, where for 46 years it had sat on a shelf.
When a U.S. veterans’ charity approached him asking whether he would like to see the helmet returned to the family of its onetime owner, he said yes, so long as it didn’t cause them any more pain. The group, the Development of Vietnam Endeavors Fund, located the family of the soldier, Bui Duc Hung, who was killed in the war, his remains never recovered.
On Tuesday, four U.S. veterans returned the helmet in a ceremony in the Hung’s family’s village 45 miles northwest of Hanoi that stressed the need for peace and reconciliation.
“This is a very sacred moment for my extended family,” said Bui Duc Duc, the 52-year-old nephew of the slain solider.
Duc wept as the helmet was placed in front of a family altar in his house. The Americans, along with around 100 villagers and local officials gathered for the ceremony, looked on. A bust of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam’s victorious war time leader, was also in the room.
“We consider this helmet as part of him and we will keep as a reminder for our family’s future generations,” he said.
Up to 3 million Vietnamese were killed in the war, which the United States undertook to stop the spread of Communism in Southeast Asia.
Wast, a 67-year-old from Toledo, Ohio, didn’t travel back to Vietnam. But in a statement that was read out at the ceremony, Wast said that Hung had “fought with skill and courage.”
“The time has now come for me to return this helmet to those who knew and cared for Bui Duc Hung,” he said. “I do this with thoughts of love and peace to you all.”

Self-Propelled Gun Made in Vietnam
105mm truck mounted howitzer made in Vietnam (all photos : kienthuc, datviet)
(Kienthuc.net.vn) - self-propelled gun built by Vietnam itself is placed on the base chassis truck tires, equipped with 105mm caliber artillery.
Recently, the newspaper Quân đội Nhân dân published the article “Thượng tướng Đỗ Bá Tỵ chỉ đạo bắn kỹ thuật, chiến thuật các loại hỏa lực tại Quân khu 5”. It is worth noting that newspapers have published photographs of the self-propelled gun is annotated: "Lieutenant General Do Ba Ty and Department of Defense missions test 105 self-propelled artillery."
Observe the image, we can see here is most likely due to self-propelled guns Vietnam to design and manufacture. Artillery was placed on a truck chassis military tires (which may be the Zil car or Kamaz, Ural). Guns used 105mm caliber, high possibility that M101 105mm guns produced by the U.S., which seized our troops after 1975. Also, the Soviet artillery is most size-152mm 122-130.
Size 105mm M101 howitzer designed by American producers from the 2nd World War, weighs 2.26 tons, 5.94 m long, equipped with 105mm barrel size for a range of 11.2 km. Fireworks can shoot shooting modes directly or indirectly, high accuracy, suitable for supporting infantry.
Clearly not self-propelled guns can be equipped with automatic reload mechanism or fire control system provides precision artillery than not?
Anyway, we are self-made self-propelled artillery is good news, help strengthen the ground forces are needed to modernize.
Currently, the army equipped with artillery also had self-propelled artillery (cannons 2S1, 2S3 Soviet Union) but not so many.
105mm self-propelled gun is now on display at the military training center National 2. Where the shoot will take place the kinds of firepower in staffing levels infantry divisions to serve the conference and draw experience from the fire building, sports training and military schools will be held tomorrow 15/1.
Lieutenant General Do Ba Ty, member of the Party Central Committee, Standing Member of the Central Military Commission, Chief of General Staff, Deputy Defense Minister to lead delegation Department of Defense direct the shoot new engineering curriculum weapons in staffing levels Infantry Division.

Missile Defense Strategy of Vietnam Covers Spratly Islands
Redut 4K44 mobile coastal defense missile (all photos : BaoMoi)
With a range of over 400 km, covering the whole of the Spratly Islands Vietnam, combined REDUT-M missile defense strategy archipelago Vietnam.
Orders alarm rang ... In less than 5 minutes, the vehicle missile launchers rumbled out into combat positions. Missile launch tubes longer than 10m rapid rise into the air direction. Officers shoot driver in the lead car quickly deploy equipment directive nosing search target, the crew informed of rang loudly determine coordinates, the target location is key enemy ships are currently marine area infringe on the sovereignty of Vietnam. Startup fuel hissed sharply blown rock grouting rear platform, P-35 missile is ready to receive commands ... " Zoom ".
It's been reported Infonet images published March 17/1 for rehearsals of rocket 679 Union Navy in Hai Phong, the unit is equipped with missile REDUT-M, radio control Skala-E, using sea missiles on P-35, P-28, P-28M ... is a weapon in the weapons system powering strategy of the Vietnam People's Navy.
REDUT missile - M missiles used for marine - P-35, P-28, P-28M ... In particular, P-35 missile has a range of over 400 km technique, are considered in the strategic missiles tasked to protect the island Vietnam.
Anti-ship cruise missiles P-35 is the main component of the missile defense system the coast range REDUT developed by the Soviet Union in the 1960s.
Name of P-35 has a massive size. It has a length of 10.2 m, a body diameter of nearly 1m wingspan of 2.6 m (can be folded in tubes), weighing up to 4.5 tonnes reporters. In particular, P-35 warhead assembly weighs 1 ton of explosives often enough sinking large warships (including carrier).
To launch missiles, 4 foot hydraulic cylinder is activated to position the car fixed launcher. Larger pipe is a hydraulic lift at an angle other than 20 degrees to the surface of the vehicle launch.
Then, rocket launchers are pushed out by the starter motor speed solid fuel. In certain height, turbine KRD-26 jet activates target missiles, supersonic cruise speed (Mach 1.4), a range of over 400 km. With this range, the P-35 was considered anti-ship missiles have a range of Vietnam and Southeast Asia.
Guided missile combines inertial navigation systems, calibration parameters throughout the journey and active radar in the last phase.
The command is sent to the guided missile command from the ground station via the image of the missile radar provided via a video data link.
From missile radar images provided , the control officer will identify and target the preferred choice, and then lock the target by the missile's active radar. In the absence of guidance from the support of reconnaissance aircraft , missile control officer will launch 3-4 missiles simultaneously.
One of the missiles will be controlled soar higher than the other missiles. The missile will use its radar to guide the missile attack left a ship or a vessel is detected by the radar planes.

Vietnamese Homemade Mini-Submarine Operates Well on Trial

HANOI (Xinhua) -- After one week on trial, a private mini-submarine made by a Vietnamese mechanic can now work perfectly with its full functions.
Nguyen Quoc Hoa, the one who performed the mini-submarine production, said on Local Lao Dong (Labor) online newspaper Thursday that machinery parts inside the mini-submarine operates well as originally designed.
"Successful tests have been carried out with internal engines of the mini-vessel, including generator system, oxygen supply system, air filter and radar system," said Hoa.
Specifically, the submarine managed to apply the advanced Air Independent Propulsion technology while diving, Hoa added.
Hoa, a director of an engineering company in Vietnam's northern Thai Binh province, some 110 km southeast from capital Hanoi, started to produce a mini-submarine in early 2013.
According to Hoa's design, the submarine has a 12-ton displacement, and is able to operate at a maximum depth of 50 meters and at a range of 800 km for 15 hours.
The testing mini-submarine is designed to work at estuaries or shallow water level for civilian purposes of marine natural resources research, and environmental protection, said Hoa.

Currently, the first 636.1 Kilo submarine is 182 HQ Hanoi. Vietnam Navy have been receiving the second of which HQ-183 Ho Chi Minh may have set off the Cam Ranh naval base. The HQ-184 Haiphong was launched in 28/08/2013 and is in the process of testing plant. Series 3 is finally Kilo HQ-185 Da Nang, HQ-186 Khanh Hoa is expected to be handed over to Vietnam in 2015 and the last one - HQ-187 Ba Ria Vung Tau handover in 2016.
