The smarter things to do is to buy newer more advanced and agile missile which actually have similar range .

Ideally the submarines can fire nuclear ballistic missiles.

Dude firstly im talking about air defence missile, instead of installing old bulky pechira why not invest in newer shtil missile, secondly kilo's cant launch ballistic missile, as it would not fit inside.

Ok I mean we need to acquire new type of submarine that can fire ballistic missiles.
Why scrapping the S125 when it is still very effective?

i never ask you to scrap didn't I???? i merely telling you that there are better alternative than sticking obsolete SAM into warships, for me as long as the electronics are still updated then the Pechora could still be effective against some military targets, but putting it on a warship is not quite an efficient from my perspective especially when you have other more potent choice.
a vls armed with shtil missile system would be better aboard your ships.

The s125 is not absolete. In contrast it is highly effective because it’s upgraded by Vietnam military. In addition parts for the s125 missile are made domestically. That saves lots of money. I agree with you though it’s not easy to put the s125 on surface warships.

There is plan to acquire two more Gepard frigates with modern air defense however there is a hurdle. The Russians can’t deliver gas engines. Maybe Vietnam buys the engines from Germany.

You need atleast 4000 tons hull to install that and its cumbersome targetting system.

Vietnam is currently building some landing ships, bigger than this ST2300 class landing ship, which is used by the Marines with their light tanks.
Big enough so I think we could put Kalibr cruise missiles or s125 missiles including all radar and fire control unit on deck. Just a theory though.

Using transport as missile trucks also proposed to the US navy in the form of this LPD based BMD ship.

Inpressive firepower with 288 VLS.(added vls could be added because plenty of space)

Vietnam signed a contract for at least 12 Yak-130 combat training aircraft worth more than $350 million in 2019, which might pave the way for a future Su-30SM or Su-35 contract.
