Vietnam Defence Forum

[Han Patriot]

that is an impressive list, but is not useful as it is designed to be. I won´t say worthless. because without allies and friends you can´t project power, nowhere, even with more aircraft carriers, destroyers and submarines. everywhere you go, you are met with suspicion and resistance. you can´t nothing, except staging exercises here and there and going home afterwards. your ships will rust, corrode with the times at bay. as you are not welcomed, you can play a policy of intimidation, showing your guns, but it is a short sighted policy.

Look at the map. you are contained by the navies of US and their allies as well as friendly countries. from Japan, S Korea, Taiwan, Vietnam, Philippines, Singapore, Australia, India. oh yeah you can take a long way and dock at Pakistan ports. the times, when other came to China capital paying tributes are long gone.

Well, it's not dead end chess. Cambodia, Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka are friendly nations. Japan, SK, Taiwan and Australia are American stooges. Vietnam is not aligned to anybody except Russia, if we attack Vietnam, nothing will happen to us. Philipines is a bit tricky, the attack need to be fast, reinforced with carriers. US will not attack a nucleat armed China, and from the signs of it Russia just joined us for a drill in SCS, a signal to America on the unofficial alignment.

India will most likely stick out, we have Pakistan to neutralize them. So basically a fast war capturing Viet and Pinoy islands is feasible. Malaysian seems willing to negotiate and the PM is easily bribed. SG will not get involved in a Chinese US conflict except allowing the US to.use the existing US base there. Its been our policy not to attack Taiwanese forces in SCS, they are our brothers afterall. They will not join the US against us. That leaves US and Japan. OZ will most likely provide 'support' but not direct interference.

We have enough sea and air launch AShM to cool any hot head.

Since when I said to have war with Vietnam? And yes go try to sell your bight example of US-Canada story to see if Vietnamese government will buy that ? and beside we don't have any native land to share unless you're saying to conquer Pinoy's land and split between us

And nope I'm not arrogance, what I said to @Viet is my realistic assessment of his 3 scenarios...and please don't talk fancy and brag US battle proven weapon, it wont scare us.

You don't read hey? I guess you are either really stupid or trolling. Pick one.
Oh right, I forgot you are an internet warrior. Nothing scares you over the internet. C'mon you talk like a kid.
It's alright, 1.4 billion Chinese would disagree with you.

China has the prompt global strike capability, most of the US allies would get wiped out within a hour.

When it is a real battle, then it would only be an one-on-one battle between the two titans, and those puny lackeys are just neglectable.

I hope you don't mean strategic or nuclear weapon. Such thing must belong to weapon of last resort. Nuclear weapon mustn't be used as the first means when a war starts somewhere. Used if the fate of a country is at stake. Fighting over islands and rocks in the South China Sea can never legitimate the use of strategic weapon.

You can laugh, making joke over military alliance, insulting small nations. I don't care. Nobody should care. Military alliance exists since dinosaur age, or at least since Macedonia and the Greek states formed a military alliance against the Persian empire. The former USSR was mighty because she had lots of friends and allies spanning half the globe. America is mighty for the same reasons. The US have 60 military bases all over the planet. And some next to your door steps.

China is probably the only country in the world, that fails to recognize the value of alliance. That will reduce you to a regional power. You believe, it is only the money that matters. You rely on as you say it "global strike capability". Once your opponents have the same capability you are naked. I pity you.

This weapon is not nuclear, but a conventional weapon almost as powerful as the nuclear weapon.

Pls if members in here wanna discuss Diplomacy & SCS dispute, we already had the SCS news thread ... this military force thread should post military photos & news from Vietnam military force, here no need insignificant quarrel, every member from China or Vietnam etc should obey PDF rules, it will make PDF forum more better when each one following the rule.

@waz pls clean this thread, thank you very much !

 

[Viet]

I think, anything relating to Vietnam military or in the context is ok to discuss. As long as nobody resorts to foul play.

Hi bro, this is a Vietnam military thread. I think we should leave some space for the VN friends here. No need to quarrel with them too hard in this thread.

How are things going?

You can help me to decode probably the most significant project of Vietnam this year. Maybe you have read it too. The government just launches the first ever satellite communications service in Vietnam. Sure, it is a thing we applaude, showing economic progress. One of the many news we read every day. Usually nothing special. But there are many things I can't unterstand and I try to decode the puzzle. The news says:

- it is called vinaphone s. S for satelitte.

- the satellite service includes phone calls, SMS and GPS navigation

- it covers the entire Vietnam mainland territory, islands and sea. With some exception of some remote areas within high mountains. In addition it covers 2/3 of the Earth.

- the service is provided by the post and communication state company PTVN

- the service aims to assist fishermen and coast guard in need. It also helps other government agencies to carry out their duties.

how is it possible that the satellite service covers 2/3 of the planet, although we only have two geostationary satelittes in space?

why do we need to cover such a huge area?

What technology is used?

I have a theory. It is all about to put pieces of a puzzle into a complete picture.

 

[Viet]

Testing a new of mechanism for short range anti aircraft missile SA-7, max range 2.7 km, on Gunship TT-400TP

 

[Viet]

Testing drones on sea

this one may be a new version of M series

I have no clue what is it.

 

[Viet]

Has anyone seen that?

made in Vietnam 4,500 tons desalination monster, by Doosan Vina, a Korean company operating in Vietnam since 2009. the desalination monster produces 95 million liters of freshwater a day.

we may only need a smaller version for our islands

picture of a monster for Saudi Arabia

Let me read about it first. I saw a headline, but I didn't read the articles. What I can say is that 2 satellites can't cover 2 thirds of the planet by themselves. The service is probably connected to other networks from other countries that use other satellites. Something like when you are roaming with your phone when you go to other countries.

I'm still in China and quite busy.
