Vietnam ask’s for BrahMos , Warships and pilot training for Sukhoi 30MKK

Looking at the domestic demand for BrahMos, I dont see any near future possibility of exporting BrahMos to any other country..BrahMos aerospace can ramp up the capacity only by involving a private sectors for large scale productions..

Ditto for naval surface combatants also... We should give them training in operating huge warships and frigates of ~6000T displacements first coz brahmos can't be equipped with destroyers with lower tonnage...

Not right bro.The Rajput class DDGs weighs 4600 ton at full load and Trishul class FFGs weighs 4400 tons.Yet they are being fitted with Brahmos AShCMs.The Godavari and Beas class FFGs will also get the Brahmos after MLU.Even the much lighter P 28A corvettes are planned to be fitted with Brahmos missiles.Actually,there is only 600 kg weight difference between Brahmos(3 ton)and 3M54 Klub S(2.4 ton).So that shouldn't be a very big problem..

okay agreed but how many ~2500T surface combatants vietnam has ? I dont know but expect it to be less... We should try to give them some and train them and maybe a couple of year after, depending on how the scs game is being played, we can go on to give brahmos maybe...

I am not opposed to give them brahmos in principle..

dont forget that russia makes alot more money with china. As they have coporated several times togethers and not to mention their economical ties. Russia will risk this when selling to vietnam, and at the end of the day lose more then they will gain

Russia does not give a rat about China when it's come to weapon selling to Viet Nam. Viet Nam as been buying as much as Viet Nam can afford to pay cash or oil to Russia and rumor floating around is that Viet Nam will buy an additional $4 billion worth of anti-aircraft missile systems in the next 5 years.
