Vietnam PM visits Bastion anti-ship missile unit
Launch of a Yakhont missile

Great pic, but Is this really Yakhont !? ( Bastion P fire it missile in the tube-stand way ) Missile and launcher shape also have different. ( It's likely SS-N-3 Shaddock to me )

I copied the pic from
Weapon and Technology: SS-N-26 Yakhont to protect russian sites near Syria
It is for ilustration purpose. The missile can be launched vertically or in angle. Here is another close-up pic from Yakhont missile:

So this may be a "test" missile from BAL system more than like a Bastion-P:

This not like YaKhont ethier:

Aghhh, I confused...

Germany further assists Vietnam in bomb and mine clearance

Voice of Vietnam

(VOV) - Germany will provide Vietnam with US$1.3 million to clean up mines and unexploded ordnance (UXO) in the central provinces of Quang Tri, Thua Thien Hue and Quang Binh this year, according to the German embassy in Hanoi.

The Solidarity Service International (SODI), a German non-governmental organization, has co-ordinated with the Vietnamese Military and local authorities to implement the charity projects on bomb and mine clearance in Vietnam.

Over the years, SODI groups have discovered 19,275 explosive devices in Quang Tri and Thua Thien Hue provinces. In 2012, the organization helped clean up landmines on nearly 275 hectares of land which will be used for agricultural production, resettlement and infrastructure construction.

This is the 15th year the German Foreign Office has helped Vietnam resolve the consequences of war, contributing to improving living conditions in the central region. Since 1998, the German Foreign Office has provided US$13.7 million for bomb and mine clearance projects in the region.

Third sub is being buit


Chuyên gia Nga: 'Tàu ng


According to a articles of naval expert Yu.V. Vedernikov on the front page of the Russian Academy of Military Science , VN´s fleet of 6 low-noise submarines, nicknamed 'Black Holes', will be equipped with Club-S missiles, depending on the configuration capable of destroying ground targets (missiles 3M-14E) and target surface (3M rocket -54E) at a distance of 220-300 km.

"The improved Kilo-class submarines feature stealth technology with extended combat range to strike targets on land, sea surface and underwater."

Equipped with 18 torpedoes and 8 surface-to-air missiles, the submarines have a cruising speed of 20k, a range of 400 miles using electronic propulsion, can patrol for 45 days and are capable of accommodating a crew of 52.

Combined with coastal based missiles Yakhonts (range of 120 to 300 km), the subs enables VN to extend the defensive line to 2,000 km.

I think there is mistake. Club-S is surface-to-surface type missile, when go on to submarine, so it' will be sub-surface-to-surface type.

Tàu ngầm Việt Nam có khả năng tấn công đất liền'

Điểm nổi bật của lớp Projekt 636 là sự hiện diện của hệ thống tên lửa Club-S mà tùy thuộc vào cấu hình có khả năng tiêu diệt mục tiêu mặt đất (tên lửa 3M-14E) và mục tiêu mặt nước (tên lửa 3M-54E) ở cự ly 220-300 km.

....

Sự hiện diện của các tàu ngầm có độ ồn thấp làm tăng mạnh tiềm lực chống ngầm của hạm đội Việt Nam. Điều không phải nghi ngờ là khả năng của các lực lượng tàu nổi và tàu ngầm tương lai của Việt Nam gây áp lực lên các tuyến đường giao thông hàng hải của đối phương tiềm tàng tại các eo biển chiến lược của Đông Nam Á. Với đường bờ biển trải dài 3260 km của Việt Nam, việc tập trung các hệ thống tên lửa bờ biển cơ động cho phép tổ chức một tiền duyên phòng ngự rộng 2000 km.
