The placement of China oil platform in SCS in no way damage China image in the world, the whole world know China intention of claiming the whole SCS, any nation without territorial dispute with China wouldn't concern themselves with SCS issue and condemn China action. US pivot to Asia couple yrs before China moved the oil rig, US intention to preserve US power in Asia and to assert US military influence in the region disregard China action in SCS. US will always used SCS issue to bolster Japan, Philippine alliance with completely reliance on US military backing. No nation willfully waste lives, money to defend other nation interest without converging US interest in the situation. US want to used the territorial dispute in SCS then turned strong anti China sentiment of the Vietnamese population into a forceful demand for democratic change and overthrow the Vietnam communist government, Vietnam government wary of protest can lead to collapse of the communist government, Ukraine peaceful protest and revolution turn into never ending crisis. US will never fight a territorial war for communist Vietnam.

In order to get the full support from the US, there is a price for Vietnam to pay, which is the color revolution.

The US still remembers the Vietnam war vividly. And Vietnam not only has to overthrow VCP, but also to install a US puppet regime as its government.

Many Viet nationalists hate China, but they don't want to become the US puppets either, so there will be the eternal unrest for Vietnam.

Vietnam now wants to reconcile the relationship with China, not because they like China, but simply they don't wanna get haunted by the US sponsored color revolution.

Communist Vietnam fought a bitter war against US led S.V military which caused dead to millions Vietnamese in the civil war. Hard for Vietnam government give up their power and install a democratic elect government. In a way of communist Vietnam will be defeated without US fire a single shot or 1
American live. Pragmatic for Vietnam government to used US power to balance China action.

Its a catamaran civilian boat, its unrelated to military use. The officers there are related to other military construction going on there and they are just taking a look at the boat, but nothing else.

Vietnam extends credit for Cambodian modernisation
Jon Grevatt, Bangkok - IHS Jane's Defence Weekly
09 September 2014


Vietnam has provided neighbouring Cambodia with USD22 million in credit to support the military modernisation efforts of the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF).

Vietnam's Ministry of Information and Communication said on its Bao Dat Viet news service on 6 September that funding had been made available to the RCAF to buy unspecified defence equipment, and enhance military training and healthcare.

Some of the funding was also allocated to the construction of an air defence command headquarters for the RCAF in Phnom Penh and the development of RCAF topography capabilities.

Details about the equipment to be transferred to the RCAF were not disclosed, although it is possible, given the development of air defence capabilities, that the arrangement includes Cambodia's purchase of Vietnamese anti-aircraft weaponry, related spare parts, or ammunition.

India plans to supply Vietnam BrahMos missiles

Ahead of Chinese President Xi Jinping’s maiden visit to India, New Delhi on Friday sent out a strong message about its desire to play a greater role in regional security in South-East Asia, making public its plan to supply BrahMos cruise missiles to Vietnam.

With President Pranab Mukherjee set to leave for a four-day visit to Vietnam on Sunday, New Delhi confirmed that it was in talks with Hanoi for supply of BrahMos missiles to the South East Asian country, which was locked in a territorial dispute with China.

Briefing mediapersons about Mukherjee’s forthcoming visit to Vietnam, Anil Wadhwa, the secretary (east) of the Ministry of External Affairs, said that defence officials of New Delhi and Hanoi were discussing a proposal for supply of BrahMos missiles to Vietnam.

Wadhwa declined to provide details about the progress in India’s talks with Vietnam. Sources, however, told Deccan Herald that the talks were in an advanced stage and Moscow had already informally given its nod to New Delhi for supply of the missiles to the South-East Asian country.

New Delhi had to obtain Moscow’s nod as the BrahMos supersonic cruise missiles are produced by a joint venture of Defence Research and Development Organisation and Russia’s NPO Mashinostroeyenia.

Several countries like Brazil, South Africa, Indonesia and Malaysia evinced interest in importing the BrahMos. Sources, however, said that Vietnam could be the first country to have a deal with BrahMos Aerospace Private Limited for import of the missiles.

Moscow and Hanoi have also been discussing about a proposal for a joint programme for developing a missile system in Vietnam based on the Kh-35 Uran of Russia.

The negotiations, however, could not make much headway, although Hanoi has of late been keen to strengthen its arsenal to address its immediate security concerns, arising out of its escalating tension with Beijing over conflicting territorial claims in the waters of South China Sea. During the visit of general secretary of Vietnam Communist Party, Nguyen Phu Trong, to India in November 2013, Hanoi proposed negotiations with New Delhi for supply of the BrahMos missiles.

New Delhi also offered Hanoi a credit line worth about $100 million to procure military hardware from India. The discussion on the modalities for implementation of the credit line is expected to get a fillip during Mukherjee’s visit to Hanoi.

Good luck. Even astra can help you out in hunting some vultures in the sky. Save brahmos for the rest.

There is Good Chance for that.Because when we complete its development trials it will be one and only unique system in this world.No other nations cant offer such a formidable weapon.

whats with the usage of term"supply" in the title?- are you supplying it to them for free?- that be so anti baniya philosophy-

Just like the dance- the BrahMos is also a rip off-
and judging by the outcome- much much worse- -

we want a new long range supersonic missiles for our su-30. currently our air-to-surface missile Kh-31A has a range of 50km.
supply is not necessarily free, but we only need some dozens, enough to sink the south sea fleet.

 

[Friei Indien]

great, highly maneuverable and world's fastest cruise missile, if fired in anger will tear enemy vessels apart.

Supply vs. Demand i.e. High School economics.. As long there are no cars fuelled by water, we will do fine..
