In what can be seen as a major shot in the arm for India and her strategic interests when it comes to relations with the Southeast Asian country of Vietnam, it has been reported that a direct flight between Kolkata and Vietnam is set to start from October 3 this year. The Vietnamese Ambassador to India, Pham Sanh Chau, said, “We, today, launched direct Indigo flights between Kolkata and Hanoi, that will be starting from October 3, this year. We have also launched an online platform for Indian travellers to apply for a visa on arrival.”

Another event which signifies strengthened ties between the two countries, Vietnam has reportedly reaffirmed its support for India’s bid for permanent membership at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC). It is relevant to mention here that Vietnam has been unanimously voted as a non-permanent member at the UNSC for the 2020-21 term. The Vietnamese Ambassador stated, “Vietnam has expressed its commitment to support fully India’s bid to become a permanent member of the UN Security Council. Previously also Vietnam has stated its support for India to become a UNSC permanent member once the council expands.” He added, “We look forward to working closely with India. India and Vietnam share a special relationship — we are also comprehensive strategic partners. For Vietnam, India is amongst the three countries which enjoy the highest status of the relationship.”

He also expressed pleasure at PM Modi’s landslide victory during the 2019 Lok Sabha polls and said, “We are very pleased to see that Prime Minister Narendra Modi was re-elected. Our leaders were among the first to send congratulatory messages to PM Narendra Modi on the counting day itself. We congratulate Prime Minister Narendra Modi on his success which shows that he has earned the confidence of the people of India. We are confident that relations will grow substantially.”

It must be noted that these positive signs reaffirming the strengthening of ties between the two countries have come at a very good time for India. Vietnam is rife with anti-China sentiments, given China’s bellicose attitude on the South China Sea dispute where Vietnam’s maritime interests are under threat too among other southeast Asian countries. Given the deepening ties with the nation, India seeks to channelize the popular sentiment against China into building a strong mutually beneficial relationship with the Southeast Asian country. Some strategic analysts see Vietnam as a part of India’s attempts to contain China, just as China uses Pakistan as a tool to contain India. For India, the growing nation appears to be a very natural and obvious choice, when it comes to effectively countering the Chinese strategy of encircling the country with military bases in the Indian Ocean. It will be in India’s interests that Vietnam exercises control over its part of the South China Sea as it is believed to be rich in oil and natural gas deposits.

Over the recent past, especially since the Modi government came to power for the first time in 2014, India has made it a point to deepen its relations with Vietnam. This is also in line with the ‘Act East Policy’ adopted by the current dispensation in India. Over the recent past, Modi government has sought to establish closer economic, defence and business ties with Vietnam. In 2016, the year PM Modi visited the country, India extended a $500 million line of credit to the Southeast Asian nation in order to bolster defence ties. In fact, India has emerged as one among the top ten trading partners of Vietnam indicating growing economic and business relations between the two countries. It is clear that the Modi government is not going to set back when it comes to the aggressive Chinese strategy of encircling India. In fact, the Modi government has made up its mind to effectively counter the diplomatic aggression shown by China and Vietnam has clearly emerged as a prominent puzzle piece in India’s diplomatic policy.

Good move! Finally direct flights.
That will facilitate exchanges between Vietnam and India.

History

With the aim to annihilate the Pol Pot Cambodia army before the PLA completion of mobilization,

40 years ago, at 10pm on January 6, 1979 Vietnamese Marines began one of the largest ever beach assaults on heavily defended Cambodia positions at Tà Lơn, also known as Bokor.

After 5 days of intense fighting and hefty casualties Vietnamese Marines broke thru, making the way free to the heartland of Cambodia.

Night vision gear for Galil Assault Rifle Ace

Trong ảnh là bộ ba kính ngắm ngày/đêm và kính quy chiếu cho súng trường Galil ACE do Viện

Trong đó đối với kính ngắm ngày KNN-GL32, do công nghệ in ảnh vạch khắc điểm đỏ trong nước chưa thực sự đáng tin cậy, nên nhóm đề tài đã nghiên cứu và áp dụng phương pháp chiếu ảnh từ ngoài để tạo điểm đỏ nhưng vẫn đảm bảo kích thước và vết ngắm bắn. Hiện tại kính ngắm KNN-GL32 có 2 chế độ phóng đại x1 và x4. Nguồn ảnh: VTV2.

Ngoài ra các mẫu kính ngắm mới giành cho súng trường Galil ACE đều được chế tạo bằng các loại vật liệu mới có độ bền cao phù hợp với môi trường nóng ẩm của Việt Nam, nhưng lại có trọng lượng nhẹ, giúp làm giảm trọng lượng của súng khi gắn thêm các loại kính ngắm trong chiến đấu. Nguồn ảnh: VTV2.

Bên cạnh đó, nhóm kỹ sư của Viện Vũ khí còn nghiên cứu phương án gá lắp các mẫu kính ngắm mới lên trên một số mẫu súng cải tiến, chứ không giới hạn sử dụng trên các mẫu súng Galil ACE. Nguồn ảnh: VTV2.

Theo đó khác với các mẫu kính ngắm đêm từng được Việt Nam chế, KNĐ-GL32 được trang bị bộ biến đổi quang điện mới có khả năng tự ngắt khi xạ thủ vẫn để kính ở chế độ hoạt động và để mở nắp che vật kính vào ban ngày. Bởi với cường độ ánh sáng mạnh có thể làm hư hại bộ biến đổi quang điện trong kính. Nguồn ảnh: VTV2.

Tuy nhiên, để đảm bảo các yêu cầu tác chiến liên tục KNĐ-GL32 cũng được thiết kế để có thể hoạt động cả ban ngày lẫn đêm theo từng chế độ mà nó được trang bị như “Đêm” hoặc “Ngày/Đêm”. Nguồn ảnh: VTV2.

Galil ACE hiện là mẫu súng trường tấn công tiên tiến nhất Quân đội ta hiện nay, tuy nhiên trong quá trình chuyển giao công nghệ chế tạo loại vũ khí này các đối tác nước ngoài lại từ chối hỗ trợ cho chúng ta công nghệ sản xuất các loại kính ngắm đi kèm Galil ACE. Mà nhiều khả năng ở đây là mẫu kính ngắm quang học ngày/đêm Mepro 21 của hãng Meprolight. Nguồn ảnh: QĐND.

I have a question, do you think Vietnam will buy the BrahMos even though the Vietnam Military uses P-800 for the Bastion K-300 Coastal Launcher?

Yakhont is land based decade old missile system. It’s said Vietnam wants to acquire a new missile system that can be fired by plane, ship and land based artillery. In addition Vietnam military wants to acquire the right to produce the system. The latter is probably the reason why India refused the deal.

Why UK refused to send troops to Vietnam to support the US during the war?

- the UK general public was against the war, considering it as a war of aggression

- UK own economic difficulties

The UK, especially the then foreign minister Anthony Eden - later Prime Minister, might have played a role in dissuading the USA from considering seriously the option of using nuclear weapons at Dien Bien Phu in 1954. Eden pushed hard for the peace settlement at Geneva, and openly criticized the USA for not signing the accords. He was also the critic of American war policies in Vietnam a decade later. As he was in his retirement by then, his views were merely personal and did not reflect the UK government's somewhat pro-American official policies.

Indonesia, Vietnam speed up EEZ delimitation

Indonesia and Vietnam have agreed to speed up maritime delimitation, while at the same time starting fresh talks to establish “provisional common guidelines” to prevent fishing incidents.

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo met his Vietnamese counterpart, Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc, on Saturday at the 34th ASEAN Summit in Bangkok, where they agreed to accelerate the ongoing negotiations on the delimitation of their exclusive economic zones (EEZ), said Foreign Minister Retno LP Marsudi.

“The negotiation has taken a long time, and the two leaders stated that efforts to resolve this negotiation should be accelerated, otherwise we would experience incidents like we have experienced so far,” Retno said on Saturday.

The EEZ delimitation with Vietnam is one of five active border negotiations Indonesia is currently engaged in. The talks have been going on for years without results. The two countries previously reached an agreement on a continental shelf boundary in 2003 — after 30 years of negotiations.

Earlier this year, the Indonesian Navy reported that a vessel belonging to Vietnam’s Fisheries Resources Surveillance (VFRS) Agency had rammed one of its corvette-class warships to obstruct the impounding of a Vietnam-flagged boat suspected of fishing illegally in Indonesian waters. Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti has lamented that was not the first such incident.

Experts have suggested that the two countries establish temporary standard operating procedures to deal with the disputed waters both sides claim as part of their EEZs, as the ongoing delimitation negotiations have yet to produce results.

To solve this particular problem, Retno said, officials of the two countries would meet to address various issues regarding EEZs and possibly devise interim guidelines for the disputed waters.

“We will probably discuss the provisional common guidelines temporarily, which will regulate the area being negotiated while waiting for the negotiations to be completed. This is to prevent unnecessary incidents,” she said.

Meanwhile, the Philippines ratified an EEZ delimitation agreement with Indonesia earlier this month, concluding the entire negotiation process as the two foreign ministers formally exchanged the ratification documents in August.

The agreement sets out boundaries in the overlapping EEZs of the Philippines and Indonesia in Mindanao and Celebes seas.

When President Jokowi met Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in Bangkok on Saturday, they praised the resolution of the issue.

“The agreement provides legal certainty on the EEZ boundary between the two countries,” the two leaders said.

The ratification by the Philippines followed a similar move by Indonesia in 2017, when Indonesia ratified the maritime deal over the EEZ boundaries in the Mindanao Sea and the Celebes Sea. The agreement itself was signed in 2014 after 20 years of negotiations.

The Indonesian Foreign Ministry’s legal affairs and international treaties director general, Damos Agusman, said the agreement was the first maritime boundary agreement between the two largest archipelagic states. The agreed line, he said, was drawn from the respective archipelagic straight baselines using a set of innovative provisions of the 1982 UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS).

“The next agenda point would be the negotiation of the continental shelf in the same area covering the agreed EEZ to demonstrate that the EEZ lines and the continental shelf lines are two different legal regimes, for which different negotiations are absolutely required,” Damos said on Sunday.

Found this really interesting article, perhaps sometime soon we could see a Future Soldier program in Viet Nam such as Russia's Ratnik program? Some of the equipment shown could definitely be improved further though. I am really interested in those helmets though, and that new camo looks interesting.

Full Article found here, but I will paste the text and pictures that do show the new gear: https://kienthuc.net.vn/quan-su/chi...t-nam-se-mang-gi-ra-chien-truong-1230783.html

What will Vietnam's future warriors bring to the battlefield?

Theo đó vào đầu tháng 5 vừa qua, Thượng tướng Bế Xuân Trường - Ủy viên ban chấp hành Trung ương Đảng, Ủy viên Quân ủy Trung ương - Thứ trưởng Bộ Quốc Phòng cùng đoàn công tác Bộ Quốc phòng trong chuyến thăm và làm việc tại Nhà máy Z176, đã được lãnh đạo Z176 giới thiệu một số mẫu quân trang dã chiến đặc biệt đang được nhà máy này phát triển giành cho nhiệm huấn luyện và sẵn sàng chiến đấu.

Trong bức ảnh này có thể nhận thấy một mẫu quân trang mới đang được Nhà máy Z176 sản xuất để cấp phát cho bộ đội trong tương lai thay thế cho bao xe đựng đạn AK truyền thống, sản phẩm có tính thẩm mỹ cao hơn rất nhiều. Quan sát sơ bộ, mẫu quân trang này vẫn sử dụng họa tiết ngụy trang kiểu K07, trên áo có may sẵn một số túi trang bị để đựng băng đạn hay lựu đạn hoặc đạn súng phóng lựu M79.

Ngoài ra còn một chi tiết rất đáng chú ý nữa đó là chiếc mũ chống đạn thế hệ mới với rất nhiều ưu điểm so với mũ cối hay mũ A2 hiện nay, đó là được trang bị các đường ray để gắn đèn pin chiến thuật, camera hay một số phụ kiện tác chiến khác, sản phẩm có nhiều nét tương đồng với những loại mũ bảo hộ tiên tiến nhất hiện nay.

Bên cạnh bộ quân trang dã chiến mới, trong bức ảnh này có thể dễ dàng nhận ra còn một bộ nữa với màu ngụy trang của binh chủng đặc công, bên cạnh là áo cỏ dành cho lực lượng bắn tỉa.

Theo đó ở thời điểm hiện tại một số mẫu quân trang, khí tài trang bị cho các đơn vị tác chiến đặc biệt như bộ đội đặc công, lính bắn tỉa, hải quân đánh bộ như ba lô đa năng, áo lưới ngụy trang, áo phao đa năng cho hải quân và nhiều sản phẩm phục vụ quốc phòng khác.

Trong ảnh ta có thể thấy một phần thiết kế của áo lưới ngụy trang do Nhà máy Z176 sản xuất, bản thân người lính khi mặc đầy đủ trang bị kể cả áo chống đạn vẫn có thể sử dụng loại cho các nhiệm vụ đặc biệt.

Một mẫu ba lô hành quân mới do Z176 chế tạo có thiết kế hoàn toàn khác biệt với mẫu ba lô truyền thống đang được sử dụng trong toàn quân. Dù trong ảnh nó có kích thước khá lớn tuy nhiên người lính mang theo nó không có cảm giác không quá nặng nề.

Còn đây là mẫu áo phao đa năng cho hải quân nhiều khả năng được thiết kế giành riêng cho lực hải quân đánh bộ, khi trên áo được tích hợp sẵn nhiều túi đựng băng đạn, lựu đạn, bộ đàm. Tuy nhiên không rõ nó có khả năng chống đạn hay không.

It says the new helmet has a better bullet-proof profile than the current A2 helmets. It can in addition mount camera and other features.

It says the new helmet has a better bullet-proof profile than the current A2 helmets. It can in addition mount camera and other features.

That's great, it's good that they replaced the older Pith helmets with the A2 but they definitely need better bulletproof helmets. I know they make PASGT helmets but as far as I know, I don't think those are standard issued
Also I know they were producing bulletproof armor but I haven't heard much on it, so it's good to see another progress update on more experimental body armor.
