@Aqsuperman I agree with you. The more I analyze those guns the more I think those CAR15 and M16A1 are just stockpile left after the war. Considering the +1 million troops (regulars, reserves and militia) of the South Vietnamese army, VPA could ended up with hundred thousands of those rifles...

I think it they are CAR 15 rifles (the predecessor of M4). Viet Nam produce them without license and I am very curious how those babies are doing in the shooting ranges and if they are just as good. So funny that they even copy the English writing on the rifles: COLT'S Patent, USA, auto, safe.....

It true the today battlefields and type of wars have changed but the tactics and preparations for combat remain the same. All armies in the world have their way to operate and use the resources they have, and some armies are better than others but there is no universal standard for preparation...

Of course weight is important but it also depend on the length of your mission( long or short) and the purpose of your mission (recon, patrol, ambush, attack...). If your mission is just to engage and firefight, then you just pack for that purpose. That's why I said that extra kilos of ammo...

@yugocrosrb95 Did I insulting you with my post? Why assuming people are incompetent when you don't have any military experience? Do you know me? your variant 5.56 may penetrate deeper but 7.62 still have a much larger exit hole and can still take an arm or leg out instead of just go through it...

Why VPA would change for 5.56 when they already have +millions weapons using 7.62, huge ammo stocks and production facilities? It a huge army of 450 000 here, not some small army of 10-20 000 troop. As myself a user of 5.56mm, yes it's very precise and light to carry but it still lack the punch...

Like I said earlier, we don't have the details of that 35% tech transfer and it probably the lesser important stuffs of the aircraft they will transfer (that 35% for sure won't include engine, weapons and high tech stuffs). Indonesians already have a good aviation industry, that's why the...

Yes Viet Nam produce all the items: personal communication devices, night vision and bullet proof vests. But they need to speed the selection (of which one they want) and start the production to make a standard issue for all major units. Because it take a certain time to train with those...

VPA marines are in the good way of modernization. But they still lack of 3 essential things to be a modern infantry force: Individual communication devices, night vision googles and bulletproof vest for each member. And I'm sure those babies will come very soon for all Élite VPA units, it just...

I think Vietnam lack of armor and IFV industry is because VPA doctrine still rely too much on infantrymen and old fighting warfare doctrine (because of the experiences of past warfares). And also (just like China 25 years ago) Viet Nam doesn't have the road infrastructure for quick movement of...

Stop assuming craps, the truth doesn't lay in what you read in the newspapers and internet. Viet Nam is a hardcore communist country with a lot of secrets & close door dealings. Viet Nam also enjoy the longest and strongest military relationship with Russia (and URSS) among ASEAN . By the way...

Canada is a huge country, my friend! I'm pretty sure we are far apart, I'm living in Montreal. By the way, I'm a big beer drinker and love to NHAU, guess that the good/bad old habit I kept from the army.. .....lol Thank for the precision, I just don't think the term CHINESE new year is use in...

Friends, enjoy my little creativity and wish you...

''The enemy of my enemy is my best friend". India is doing a great job helping Viet Nam, as long as the Indians treat the Vietnameses as their equals and not like their subalterns. For all the Indian helps, the least the VPA could do was to train the Indians army for jungle warfare, they need...

INFANTRY WIN WAR

Nguyen Tan Dung is already pretty moderate and liberal among those dinosaurs Communist politburo members. This guy was a soldier for 23 years and was wounded 4 times during the Viet Nam war. There no more world leaders like him anymore (not a crappy talker who send others to war). I guess he...

@yugocrosrb95 Thank man, that's a nice sub...50 mil Euro that's a price of a jetfighter!!! Really like to know how this beauty doing on exercises and operations Here an interesting article about PLA on Vietnam subs threat....We can't say that PLA is lack of confident China's Nightmare...

That awesome small attack sub!! I read few articles in the french websites, it still only a digital design stage and will cost around 200 millions $. That French company DCNS have some great subs ideas, SMX25 is nasty . If VPA have a dozen of SMX26 subs, it will be a nightmare for PLA. @Viet...

@Carlosa How you think about my suggestion on small attack subs that I posted earlier? That guy, I just think he is too much of a theory guy rather than practical, things on papers is never the same on the field. And things we plan never happen as we plan once all hell broke out. That's why a...

You look more and more like an old stubborn old man....You tell me not living in the past when you bring in up stuff from the Gulf war 1990, wihat is old for you? everything that's over 20 years? How old you think B52 is ? And it will be still operational till 2050. Military doctrine and...
