Good going, we can train against each other. Su-30MKI vs F-16 Blk 52 @Viet

USA will offer F-16's cheap to rid off as air force gets smaller...

F-16 is capable fighter and for refurbished price cheap, Vietnam can considerably increase defense of their airspace.

Woupd not he surprised if Vietnam orders 32 F-16s...

Vietnam is the only country in the world to play with F18 and Mig-21 in a dog fight.

Vietnam is the only country in the world to play with F18 and Mig-21 in a dog fight.

F18 originally designed as naval fighter, they would replace well for Su22.
F16 replace for Mig21.
If optimistic, Vietnam could hope for the production line of F18 like what was offered to India.
GE produced turbine in Vietnam since 2009.

To me, I love SM6 guided by Awacs or F35. Put Sm6 on coast they could cover sea and air well for over 200 nm, put them on ships, they could wipe out enemy in Spratly clash if any.

F35 could be used as assymetric weapon too. 3 Awacs 24 F35 and 400sm6

Wow! This is very good news for the American military-industrial complexes.

Hope that America can sell a lot more of its leftover or excess military equipment to Vietnam.

if it's mutually beneficial to both parties what's the big deal?


Vietnam can be a anti-ship/anti-submarine superpower in the SCSs

Chances of that are extremely slim.

Vietnam should pursue.local production of APC/AFV and.MBT...
