Oh, so you jungle used this rifle to shoot Americans in 1972 you bragging so hard here...
You are an idiot you should admit...

Mr High IQ 40 years old mature man, even a 12 years old immature know the difference between design and build on license.
My advices is never brags anything related to Vietnam defense industry, one of the worst among Asean nation, especially for a country of 100 million people, absoulte shame.

Vietnam made submarine.

Keep laughing
We still have T34 tanks.

I usually don't like this but you asked for it, btw don't forget this self truck howitzer (putting M102 howitzer onto truck)

Can't blame though... With a GDP less than a city of ours, and a defense budget less than the budget for an university here, What can you expect?

I responded to your post VN can’t produce a rifle. Certainly a different story in the war of 1972. the North was destroyed by US carpet bombings.

You scared away the white man with heroic fighting, then you want the white man in your backyard to protect you from a Chinese carrier in the SCS. You had one of the greatest victories in the 20th Century in holding your own against the supa powa Amerika. Only to want to be a colony like the South Vietnamese, now. You won! Act grown up and be friends with your neighbors. You won! Build up Vietnam with increased development and learn from your smart neighbors.

What an 'achievement' for your super duper IQ jungle which can produce a rifle under license today... lol...
You could kill Americans with wood sticks and stones in 1972 with your super duper jungle IQ...lol...

In the politics there is no permanent friend no permanent enemy!
If thing changes you change too.
What‘s wrong with that?

It’s stupid to think in like this: white man bad, yellow man good.

Do you think defending own country has to do with skin color?

Or race?

People would believe you are a racist!

You seem to think China wants to colonize you like the Americanz, we want our islands back, you backstabbed us when ROC withdrew, we gave you a country through economic support and this is how you repay us.

Repay what?
Ok If you cry louder I will give you 1 euro.

Absolutely stupid. VLO cruise missiles that can’t be tracked are far superior to supersonic missiles that light up radars.

FYI, Michael Griffin is the Pentagon's top engineer.

However, creating a workable defense against hypersonic vehicles and missiles would require developing longer range radars and new space-based sensors to track and target an adversary’s weapons soon after they are launched, said Michael Griffin, undersecretary of defense for research and engineering, at a National Defense Industrial Association event on 13 December, according to a transcript and press release from the Pentagon.

The Department of Defense believes that the stage to knock out hypersonic weapons is during their relatively long cruise phase, in which they don’t change course abruptly. Hypersonic missiles during that stage are not particularly hard to intercept, but it would require an advanced warning, says Griffin.

Unfortunately, current US radars can’t see far enough.

“They need to see thousands of kilometers out, not hundreds,” he says.

The problem is compounded by the vastness of the Western Pacific Ocean and the lack of islands suitable to host radar installations.

“It’s not littered with a lot of places to park radars, says Griffin. “And, if you found some, they’d likely become targets.”

What’s more, hypersonic weapons are difficult to track via existing space-based sensors, he adds. Hypersonic weapons targets are 10 to 20 times dimmer than what the USA normally tracks by satellites in geostationary orbit, he says. And so, the USA would likely need to combine radar with a network of space-based sensors to effectively track and target an adversary’s hypersonic weapons.

“We can’t separate hypersonics defense from the space layer,” says Griffin.

The urgency in developing a defensive shield is driven by the fact that China is outpacing the USA in development of offensive hypersonic weapons. In August, the country reportedly conducted the maiden flight of a new hypersonic test vehicle, named Starry Sky 2, which boosts its speed by wave riding on its shockwaves. The vehicle reached Mach 5.5 for more than six minutes, and a topped out at M6, according to reports.

“In the last year, China has tested more hypersonics weapons than we have in a decade,” says Griffin. “We’ve got to fix that.”

Cue for the "he just wants more budget" phrase, because they cant go for the default "the Chinese government paid him to say that" phrase

Russia is white, still our most important strategic partner.

Japan and South Korea are yellow, but still belong to the camp of our adversary.

Vietnam should choose the rightful path, and being too close to the US won't make Russia happy either.

Japan is occupied. Abe is a nationalist who seems to fantasize about Imperial Japan sometimes. The Japanese are rife with conspiracy theorists that are anti-American.

Russia's loyalties are to the South, not East. Russia is hedging with a bet on China. Though Putin would rather see Washington take over the world than Beijing. Putin is a Two Headed Dragon.

South Korea is the only willing colony of Washington, and that ends with unification. Beijing should pressure Kim to have a ceremonial Emperor of Korea to unite North and South. Therefore the South does not need to be occupied.

That's why China's approach is very realistic, and we know how to play the cards wisely.

The world wants to see USA and China to kill each other, especially with an extremely anti-China government like the Trump admin is a perfect loose cannon.

President Xi wants China to not only be able to defeat USA in a brutal fight, and also being capable to survive in the aftermath, not being scavenged by the rest of the hungry hyenas after even the winner of the US-China war would be a badly wounded lion, not being able to defend itself against a pack of opportunistic hyenas.
