Vietnam is invited to Rimpac 2020, a US led military exercise in the western Pacific. Unclear if Vietnam will send any warships or just observers.

VIETNAM TO BEGIN PRODUCING INDIGENOUS ANTI-SHIP MISSILES BASED ON RUSSIAN KH-35UE






Click to see full-size image

The production of the KH-35UE anti-ship missile (also known as Uran-E system) began under the designation VCM-01 at Vietnam’s Z189 shipyard.

The KH-35UE anti-ship missile is an export version of Russia’s KH-35U anti-ship missile.

According to Vietnamese media, the Z189 shipyard is operated by the Ministry of Defense of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam and it will carry out serial production of the VCM-01.


Electronic components for the Vietnamese analogue of the 3M24E anti-ship missile will be supplied by the Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group.

Vietnam became the second country in the Asia-Pacific region to develop its own missile based on the Russian Uran-E. The first such country was North Korea, which previously showed images of a missile that looked very much like a Russian medium-range anti-ship missile.

Back in 2019, the Vietnamese Pohang type corvette upgraded with KH-35 Uran-E missile. The Vietnamese Pohang Flight III-class submarine guard installed their own versions of the Russian missile, the Uran-E anti-ship missile on a Pohang type corvette (former RCC 765 Yeosu) received at the end of 2018 as military aid from the South Korean Navy.

Pohang-class guard vessels are medium-sized with a length of 88.3 m, width of 10 m, draft of 2.9 m and the amount of water expansion fully 1,300 tons. CODOG engine (combined diesel and gas turbine) allows the ship to run with a maximum speed of 32 knots, cruising speed of 15 knots, with a range of 4,000 nautical miles (7,400 km), having a crew of 95 people.

The weapons fitted to the Plight Flight III class of the Pohang class include two 76.2 mm Oto Melara Compact cannons with a barrel that is 62 times longer than the diameter (76 mm / 62). In addition, the ship also has two 40 mm/70 double-barrel quick-firing Dardo artillery platforms, in addition to supporting the 76 mm gun in destroying small targets.

The Uran-E missile is a subsonic weapon featuring a normal aerodynamic configuration with cruciform wings and fins and a semisubmerged air duct intake. The propulsion unit is a turbofan engine. The missile is guided to its target at the final leg of the trajectory by commands fed from the active radar homing head and the radio altimeter.

From 2001–2015, Russia supplied Vietnam with 198 Uran-E missiles for sea-based use. By June 2016, Vietnam was planning to start serial production of their indigenous anti-ship missile based on the Uran-E, covering three types of missiles for sea-launched, air-launched, and coastal defense as part of the 3K60 Bal/SSC-6 Sennight mobile coastal defense system.

It appears that the time has finally come to produce more of these indigenous missiles based on the Uran-E.

Vietnam's first mounted police battalion paraded in front of Hanoi's Ho Chi Minh Mausoleum Monday morning, prior to a parliamentary session.

The parade on Doc Lap Street, which bisects the mausoleum and the parliament, was witnessed by the National Assembly delegates and other officials.

2-1996-1591592667_m_460x0.jpg

The parading battalion consisted of 60 horses and police officers, led by two white horses.

The mounted police force, which will operate under the Mobile Police Force Command of the Ministry of Public Security, was formed in early 2020. The force will directly train and utilize horses to fight crime, and take care of the team, including breeding new members.

National Assembly chairwoman Nguyen Thi Kim Ngan receives the salute from a battalion officer as Prime Minister Nguyen Xuan Phuc and others watch. The parade began at around 7 a.m.

Ngan noted that despite the cavalry being a new entity in Vietnam, the Public Security Ministry and officers are resolved to overcome all challenges including insufficient experience and training, logistics and human resources.

Police officers said the horses are in good health, resilient and capable of adapting to different situations. The force can be used for patrolling and controlling unruly demonstrations, especially in areas where normal vehicles cannot be used. The force will fight crime, patrol and engage in rescues in mountainous areas, as well as maintain security in cities. The cavalries could also transport weapons and food to remote areas, as well as participating in governmental ceremonies and receiving international heads of state. They would also participate in international competitions to gain experience.



6-8374-1591592669_m_460x0.jpg

The horses are all thoroughly trained to follow commands. So far, the police have bred and increased the team’s strength to 109, and tamed 65 wild horses.

That's not a horse that's a pony.
 
. .
Good
A bit small
They should import horses from Mongolia or Europe.
No, get one from the US they are much better & cheaper. European horses... Not so reliable from personal experience.

I suggest a quarter or throughbreed if it's only for policing.

Pony like that are only useful as pack animal.

That & glue... I just realize those are Hmong horses.
