I heard they were upgared to S-300PMU2 !???

P/S: S-300PMU, not SU 300PMU

The original mark is SU300MPU1+++, but I dont understand what does the last "+++" mean.

Testing after upgrading.

Bastion-P for sure. I think we will not see new upgraded system S-300PMU2 for right now in 2013.
May be it will come up with new Tor or Buk and Pantsir-S1 missile system ...

Two of Vietnam’s naval ships arrived in the coastal city of Zhan Jiang in the China southern province of Guangdong on June 25 as part of a courtesy visit to the region’s municipal authorities and the High Command of the Nanhai Fleet.

The visit by HQ 011 and HQ 012 forms part of a wider tour of China which takes place during the 15th joint patrol of the naval forces.

Following a welcome ceremony hosted by Deputy Chief of Staff of the Nanhai Fleet, Zhang Chuan Shu, the Vietnam sailors and officers attended a meeting with their colleagues.

Colonel Nguyen Duc Nho, the leader of the Vietnam delegation, briefed his hosts on the itinerary of the joint patrol, which included several training exercises and drills on search and rescue operations at sea.

Since 2005, the Vietnam Navy and the Nanhai Fleet have conducted joint patrols in the Gulf of Tonkin, which have created conditions for the two sides to share experience in search and rescue missions at sea.

Major General Zhang Zhao Yin, Deputy Commander of the Nanhai Fleet, spoke of the successful joint patrol and expressed his wish for the two countries’ naval forces to continue their co-operation in delegation exchanges, joint patrols, personnel training and sea security discussion.

Meanwhile, other Vietnam sailors and officers visited members of the Zhan Jiang municipal People’s Committee.

The joint patrols aim to strengthen friendly relations and mutual trust between the two armies and navies, thus contributing to the maintenance of order and security in the Gulf of Tonkin and the waters of Vietnam.

I think these actions are very good, may be.
VN President visited PRC, and many cooperations follow it on after that will help decrease tensions with China in SCS.
Of course, We should not let our guard down in any case.

Agree.
Even if its your ally, no countries should keep their guard down, even with a great ally. One day, an ally might become an enemy.
