Marksmans from Vietnam People Army in AASAM (Australian Army Skill at Arms Meet)

they wear helmets that were not seen before. Western army styles?

 

[striver44]

War is a serious business. Winning a war requires rather IQ than military hardware. Does Indonesia have any known military generals or leaders? Fyi in case you haven’t noticed, Vietnam has many world famous military leaders as Vo Nguyen Giap. He is even famous in the West with victory against France and America. Or going back Hai Ba Trung, Ngo Quyen, Le Loi or Trung Hung Dao. The army led by Hung Dao defeated the 500,000 men Mongol army including the entire annihilation of the invasion fleet at Bach Dang.

Seem so. These helmets seem to belong to Western manufacturers, not domestic.

Sure, Indonesia perform extremely well in many marksman competitions, I have nothing against that. If only Indonesian counter-terrorist units perform just as good as their marksmans colleagues, right?

More pictures about Vietnam delegation in AASAM. Weapons seem to be FN FNC and FN MAG

Another dummy guy who read too many books think shooting range games (between few persons) prove the efficiency of the entire army of hundreds of thousands… Competition (between a few dudes) meant nothing and you can have all the medals you want and it still doesn’t prove anything in real combat.

During a real combat firefight, with all the noises and destruction (and death) around do you think all the dudes (on the marksman competition) will have the same concentration and composure as in the peaceful shooting range ? ... Also will have all the time to shoot no-moving targets, because the enemy will stop moving to let you shoot at them... You too smart book reader @striver, you will be a great general

Do you know that base on different studies that 10-20% soldiers don’t even shoot their guns to kill another human being during real combat situation? You can practice all you want in a quiet and safe environment, but it won't take away the fact that some still won’t fire at the enemy during real combat.

Defeating Mongolia? How is it possible if Indonesia as country came into existence not long ago? There is no historical record that you ever fought a real war. You lost East Timor against some rebels, didn’t you?

I like the helmets. Look great. The camo is too green too exposed. Not good. But overall a right step in right direction.

Russia completes delivery of T-90S/SK tanks to Vietnam

Moscow has completed the delivery of 64 T-90S/SK main battle tanks (MBTs) to Vietnam, the Russian Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSVTS) confirmed to Jane's on 28 March.

A military-diplomatic source said "the multi-faceted contract" that was signed in 2016 for the MBT acquisition "has been fulfilled in accordance with the original schedule".

"All the financial issues under the contract have been resolved, and the Vietnamese tank crews and technical specialists have already been trained," the source added.

A representative of the Vietnam People's Army (VPA) told Jane's that the MBTs were shipped in two large batches, each totalling "no fewer than 30 platforms".

"The first batch was delivered last December, while the second one arrived in Vietnam in late February," said the source, adding that the VPA received the MBTs equipped with Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour and a turret-mounted missile countermeasures system.

"The vehicles will replace outdated Chinese Type 59 and non-upgraded Soviet-era T-54 tanks," he said, pointing out that the VPA has already begun operating the new vehicles.

In July 2017 Vietnamese state-run news agencies confirmed that Hanoi had ordered 64 T-90Ss, including an undisclosed number of T-90SK variants, pointing out that the acquisition would be funded by credit provided by Moscow.

The T-90S is the basic export model, while the 'K' is a reference to command versions.

When Indonesia shared border with Yuan (Mongolian) Dynasty of China like Vietnam, you could speak Futonghua like Ujggur people now in China.

No Lol. worthless to laugh or make rediculous comments. Vietnam’s participation in western army’s exercises is a good thing that seems to increase in size and scope.If you want to beat the West and the East, learn from the West and East. Check the record numbers of Vietnamese students in the US, Canada and Japan. Vietnamese army should transform itself from a mass army to an elite army.

Boeing official says Vietnam military drone deal almost done

By Vu Anh

Boeing is close to sealing a deal to sell unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) to Vietnam, an official from the U.S. company revealed.

The Boeing Insitu ScanEagle is a small, long-range, low-altitude reconnaissance drone built by Insitu, a Boeing subsidiary.

The sale will be supported through U.S. Foreign Military Financing and the recipient will be the Vietnamese Coast Guard, Yeong Tae Pak, Boeing’s marketing director for defense sales in Southeast Asia, said Wednesday at the Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition in Malaysia.

"The sale is in progress," British security magazine Jane’s quoted him as saying.

The number of UAVs to be bought is not known.

Yeong said the deal is as an indicator of Boeing’s defense sales strategy in newer regional markets like Vietnam, where opportunities to grow its defense presence is "being pursued through lower-tier platforms."

The drone can operate above 15,000 feet and hover over a battlefield for extended missions of up to 20 hours, depending on system configuration.

The five-foot-long ScanEagle UAV has a 10-foot wingspan and can operate in land and maritime environments.

In February the U.S.’s Indo-Pacific Command chief, Admiral Phil Davidson, said in a statement that Vietnam is acquiring equipment from the U.S., including Boeing Insitu ScanEagle UAVs, Beechcraft T-6 Texan II trainer aircraft and a second decommissioned US Coast Guard cutter.

In August last year a local newspaper quoted an unnamed U.S. State Department official as saying that Vietnam had signed contracts to buy U.S. military equipment worth $94.7 million.

Vietnam’s Foreign Ministry has neither confirmed nor denied the information.

Last March the USS Carl Vinson arrived in Da Nang on a historic visit, the first to Vietnam by an American aircraft carrier since 1975. During its visit, the U.S. delivered six Metal Shark patrol boats to Vietnam.

Wow, so your logic is marksmanship contests (between few delegates) prove the sharpshooting of the entire army personnel. So the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Singapore won all the ASEAN marksmanship contests must be all mighty and formidable army, I didn't know that. So all Indonesian soldiers are sharpshooters, right!!

Thank You to share your knowledge smarty book reader @striver44, now I understand how Indonesia defend it 17 500 islands with 300 000 soldiers, it just need to put 17 soldiers on each island because Indonesia won few marksmanship contests so the entire army are fearsome sharpshooters.

Because you are not the brightest light here in this forum, maybe video will make you understand about COMBAT MARKSMANSHIP.

This is a video of the movie GLORY (1989), during rifle training scene

So you see the different between competition and real combat, smarty. Stay with your fancy competitions and your medals. Tell your Indo army to wear those medals when fighting the rebels, it will put fear into the enemies. And I am sure the SMALL AUSTRALIAN ARMY are pissing in their pants because INDO won few regional marksmanship contests (but never win any major war).
