You are missing the broad picture.
Plus your view is as followed: China is big, hence other must knee down before you and hand over the last underwear to Xi Jinping.

I don't know why you will understand what I mean is: other must knee down before you....???

I just say that strategy needs strength to support it.

This is India. Even basic weapons like guns, need to import parts from China, and then Indians scoff at the fact that Chinese parts are "inferior"

Fake Chinese spares for indigenised Bofors guns

Indians can't even make artillery, but they laugh at their enemies don't export high quality parts to India. Indians will never consider their own problems. Do you say Vietnam needs the "technology" of India?

Saudis Use Chinese-made Cannons in Yemen

That's the difference...Bro, do you still believe in the mouths of Indians?

How could you rely on the Indians? If Russians already agreed to transfer the technology, why don't you buy the export version of the original product, rather than diluted version of it?

You know about Indian efficiency?

The Russians haven't transfered the technology yet. In negotiating with India the Russians got the message we have alternative. Putting pressure on Putin won't harm the poker but accelerate desirable outcome.

Last, you oversee the propaganda message Vietnam wants to send to China.

This India will be a very big trouble maker and headache for China soon.

China should be very assertive and proactive against India.

China should make heavy presence in Sri lanka and Maldives.

China should help BD to oust it's illegal Indian puppet govt and sell missiles, subs and arms to BD.

And if possible extent China border to BD.

If China really want to p1ss India off, we can sell Pakistan long range air-air missile which over 400 km interception, good enough for Pakistan to declare ADIZ over New Delhi, any India civilian fight or Modi's private jet will be subjected to be Pakistan missile locking and if we arm Pakistan with attack drone, Pakistan army can virtually playing Nintendo game with India without risking their life

What would be the Brahmos role now for Vietnam?

Actually we did sell small arms and uavs to Vietnam in the past.


Brahmos is a russian exported Yakhont missile.

(Russians themselves dont use brahmos, coz it is an inferior short ranged version of yakhont, which they already operate).

I believe vietnam already has it.. and so do other countries like syria..

We had some PSR 90 from Pakistan in store

And KP5 from Pakis too

Maybe india can sweeten the deal by adding some tejas

Buy one Brahmos get one tejas free

Contrary to reports earlier this month in the Vietnamese media about sale and delivery of Brahmos cruise missiles, negotiations for the system with India have stalled, with indications that Hanoi is reconsidering the offer.

Sources who did not wish to be named told ThePrint that detailed talks had been held on the sale of the cruise missiles — jointly developed and produced by India and Russia — but the matter got stuck on pricing and technology issues.

India has offered Vietnam a $500 million line of credit for defence-related equipment, but the utilisation of these funds depends on what the nation requires. India is already working on new patrol boats for Vietnam as well as a refit of its older Petya-class warships with modern equipment.

Ironically, the biggest challenge to the Brahmos sale has come from joint developer Russia itself that has similar missiles to offer. Russia, which has seen its international market for arms shrink with growing competition from players like China, has Vietnam as one of its major customers for military equipment.

It is learnt that Hanoi has been in talks with Russia’s NPO Mashinostroyeniya, which makes similar supersonic cruise missiles for the export market, including the Yakhont that can be used for shore defence systems.

While pricing could be one consideration — a direct purchase from Russia could turn out to be cheaper — Vietnam is also looking at some technology transfer that may turn the matter in Moscow’s favour. Besides, Brahmos is marketed by a government-controlled corporation, limiting Indian ability to incentivise sales.

As has been reported, India will weaponise two Petya-class frigates of the Vietnamese Navy to make them fit for an anti-submarine role. The Russian origin frigates are getting new sonar system, torpedo launchers and a modern fire control system.

Vietnam will also get 10 new patrol boats from India as part of an earlier $100 million line of credit. Besides, talks are also on for the high-speed heavy weight ‘Varunastra’ torpedo that has been developed by India.

Why go for the second hand while you can get it from the source

Where is the pressure supposed to come from? How is this poker?
They know what Indians are capable or rather incapable of among the best. They know your cards.
