In these days like in many places in the world, the Vietnamese Defence Attaché Office in Singapore held a ceremony on December 3 to mark the 75th founding anniversary of the Vietnam People’s Army. When the army was founded, it only consisted of a platoon. Interestingly 3 women were part of the army.
The armed forces had gone thru a deep valley of bloods and tears.

From Russia with love

parliament speaker Nguyễn Thị Kim Ngân arrives Moscow on a visit to Russia. In a discussion with the director of Russia military complex Rustam Minnikhanov, she reportedly expressed Vietnam interest of acquiring two more Gepard missile Frigates.

The Gepard will be better off if armed by Kalibr cruise missiles - instead of Kh35.

Carrying 180 officers, the ships berthed at Tien Sa Port on a four-day visit.

The Japanese crew, led by navy captain Ikubo Seiji of Minesweeper Division III, is set to visit Da Nang’s Navy and Military High Command where officers of both countries will for the first time discuss and share minesweeping intel, Vietnam News Agency reported.

As part of Japan’s Free and Open Indo-Pacific Strategy, the initiative aims to strengthen cooperation between its own and other navies across the Indian Ocean.

Da Nang is the crews 7th destination since embarking for the Phillippines, Bangladesh, Maldives, Bahrain, India, and Malaysia.

JS Bungo is a large-sized, Uraga-class minesweeper, 141 meters long and 22 meters wide, with a 5,700-ton loading capacity. It is one of Japans two largest mine countermeasure vessels.

JS Takashima is a small-sized, Hirashima-class minesweeper, 57 meters long and 9.8 meters wide, with a 570-ton loading capacity.
