we welcome military cooperation will all friendly states, but if it comes to a military alliance, it makes only sense if we team up with a military/economics nuclear weapons state superpower. none of those above fulfill these criteria. Malaysia, Indonesia and Korea cannot provide us with the security we need should it come to armed confrontation with China.

the Chinese have no sense of humour if we close a military alliance with America or other great powers NOW.

Team up for what exactly? Arm purchases?

Definitely, Korea is not involved at all in the SCS and is certainly not going to get involved. Malaysia? My God, their response to chinese intrusions is to pretend that it didn't happen "Chinese ships in James Shoal? No, we didn't see anything, it didn't happen" Amazing and shameful. Indonesia is neutral at this point.

* Sources claimed that a few days ago, the An-124 has landed and unloaded the first batch of Vietnamese third Su-30MK2 regiments. These aircrafts will stay in familiar air base to wait for their air base to complete its new infrastructure. After the Lunar New Year, these aircrafts will fly to their new home base. By that time, all Air Defense Regions will have at least one regiment of 4th and 4++ gen aircrafts.

Great news, I've been waiting to hear this.

part of our air defence reminds me of the second world war.

I copy the pics from other VN military thread: (Vietnam) Indochinese troops in France during WW1.
the French were very satisfied with the performance of the Vietnamese as they fought very well on battlefields. seom 50,000 vietnamese soldiers were recruited and deployed to France and other war theaters. After the war, many remained in France married with French women, while the rest returned to Indochina. all of them received benefits such as house, money payments from the French government.

You got ahead of me, I was about to post the article, very interesting about the Tor, I knew about the Buk, but for the Tor I only knew rumors that were not very solid, so I thought it was a low chance, but no.

@Black Flag So much for SIPRI

Tor-M2 is a very nice system, everything in 1 vehicle, search radar, tracking radar and 16 missiles. Same idea as the Pantsir but no cannon. I believe the Tor-M2 of Vietnam is on wheels. 12 km range. It can fire at 4 targets at the same time with 2 missiles at each target.

Remarkable, emotional words from Ted Osius, the new US Ambassador to Vietnam and John Kerry, Secretary of State. I´m impressed.

Ted Osius:

"Today marks a dream come true for my family and me. We are deeply grateful for all the support we have received, especially from those of you who are here today….A strong, prosperous, and independent Vietnam that respects the rule of law and human rights will be a critical partner for the United States on many regional and global challenges that we face together. That will be my leitmotif as well.”

“The Vietnamese people are the children of two winged creatures: the dragon from the sea and the fairy from the mountains. Through our partnership, we are ready to support the people of Vietnam as they soar higher and farther.”,

John Kerry:

"We’re deepening our people-to-people relationship by sending literally tens of thousands of our students to study in each other’s countries. And we are collaborating on climate change, renewable energy.” He said.

“Ted is leaving for a Vietnam that is so extraordinarily different from the one that a lot of us got to know when we were younger, and it’s one of Asia’s great economic success stories and a transformation that is quite remarkable and still underway. Ted Osius was one of the brave Americans who observed this transformation firsthand and helped to make it happen. That’s why you couldn’t have a better ambassador.”
