Looks like a Damen 5009 Stan Patron with Vietnam flag, new acquisition?
if the answer is yes, for the Navy or for the Coast Guard ?

In general white is coast guard, grey is naval warships.

Practical reason. Vietnam military budget is too small hence the needs to keep legacy military weapons until they disappear in dust.

We retired shaddock because the Whiskey class Submarine we operated being retired too in 1980's.

Do you really understand the topic that you were talking about? You want to show the old USSR missile, but the images you pasted is actually the taiwan navy Cheng Kung-class frigate, which is a copy of the US Perry class. And also the missile launched from the ship is NOT the old USSR missile, but the taiwan Hsiung Feng III missile.

the image you post:

vs. taiwan navy FFG 1101 launches Hsiung Feng III

It's really weird because you've post the defense topic news for long years, but constantly making such silly mistakes.

Ok my mistake

this below is from Vietnam military.

as long as the weapon is still operational I post here (even for fun, for educational purposes).

P35B missile

We retired shaddock because the Whiskey class Submarine we operated being retired too in 1980's.

interesting, why the Soviets did not deliver to North Vietnam? The North Vietnamese would need the submarines more than you. Anyway, welcome back to military buildup, even not sorts of communist scare this time.
