    No, unlikely to be. It's considered to be an upgrade in offensive capability, other systems would remain the same.

    The missile has been chosen, but I will keep my mouth shut, otherwise the Department of Green Tea would be eager to have a chat with me :yahoo::yahoo: The only obstacle is funding which will be decided in a very short time.

    In case you don't know, the VINASAT-1 has been a part of the C4ISR we're building.

    Different guns, more logistic demands and training for that difference. Also the Arjun has no export order as far as I concern, while the T-72 and T-90 are widely exported to several countries.

    Not surprising, considering the Filipinos always accused him of being too friendly and pro-China before the election. @Farhan Bohra I don't think our Ground Force would choose your upgrade package.

    Is it just me or the turret is really high compare to the T-72B3 and T-90MS?

    Cambodia these days is very smart. Then can strike a balance between the two powers that affecting them, as is Vietnam and China. China has more economic power, while Vietnam keep a strong hold on Cambodian political and military might. Sam Rainsy is not a powerful factor, he's pretty much...

    Well, for the lack of modern MBT, we surely compensate by lots of ATGM and RPG-29 :p::p: Sure, no modern MBT can be a bad think in an offensive operation, but those anti-tank weapon can and will be use effectively and devastatingly during urban defensive combat. And for the sake of pictures...

    You're partially correct. Air Force and Navy were the focus of modernization in the last 15-20 years, so the Ground Force had to wait until this year for their turn in modernization. But saying that our equipment is no better than Cambodian ones is very unlikely, as Vietnam still develops and...

    Easy, friends, when the time comes, they'll reveal the T-90MS. In the mean time, let's just assume that Vietnam doesn't have it either. :p::p:

    Not at the moment, but the plan to build such ships has been finalized and is waiting for funds.

    Most likely to be land-based systems to replace the Redut-M (P-35B "Shaddock" missiles). The Air Force prefers lighter and smaller missiles like Kh-31AD/PD and Kh-59MK/2, while the surface ships might be equipped with Kalibr and Yakhont missiles.

    Yes. But to be realistic, I think the deal would only cover BrahMos missile systems, as we can use them to replace the aging Redut-M systems.

    Most of Vietnamese newspaper still refer to the Prithvi and not Agni or others. I don't think that Vietnam would buy Indian ballistic missiles. A deal with the Russian (Iskander-E) or Israeli (LORA) is more realistic.

    That's what they said, I'm not sure. But no Prithvi missiles obviously. :p::p:

    I take that you don't live in Vietnam, as you're unfamiliar with slangs and codename like that. C2 is a brand of bottled green tea in Vietnam, it also stands for "Cục 2" or "Tổng cục 2", a.k.a the General Department of Military Intelligence. Therefore, when folks say "you're gonna have some...

    Carlosa lives in Vietnam, so he knows the power of a little organization which is affectionally called the "Department of Green Tea", also known as the C2 General Department. Therefore, most of the Vietnamese military news are speculations, rumors and unconfirmed reports. It has changed in...

    Yes, it is operational as of now. Well, since Vietnamese military traditionally neither confirm nor deny any rumors, the best we (or I) can do is to spread some untracable and not-so-credible pictures/footage/news. Here's something we can agree on, the Su-30MK2V has been armed with Kh-31PD...
