I vietnamiti hanno installato missili anti-nave KCT 15 di produzione nazionale, ma derivati dal russo Kh-35 Uran, sulla corvetta di classe Pohang (ex RCC 765 Yeosu) ricevuto alla fine del 2018 come aiuto militare dalla Marina sudcoreana.

Lol.. why your hakuryu-5 is at Ho chin Minh sea area and not at SCS?

Typical selective posting. Vietnam is not allow any new drilling in China nine dash line.

Vietnam is not going to match our navy attribution tactics. Even USS Ronald reegan got chased out of SCS and what makes you think Vietnam stand better chance?

Harukyu-5 is rent by Vietnam recently to carry our deep oil drilling.. stop hiding from your humiliation. But it is now stuck at Vietnam sea, not doing anything.. Becos it is blocked from any drilling in nine dash line by China.

Not a problem
2 steps forward, 1 step back
Still a progress
It’s a long game
You can’t drill either.
The military buildup continues. We can wait.

Think of the losers from the Han, to the Song, Yuan, Ming, Qing. Xi will become one another loser in the long list.

U.S. to provide ship to Vietnam to boost South China Sea patrols

HANOI (Reuters) - The United States announced on Wednesday it will provide Vietnam with another coast guard cutter for its growing fleet of ships, boosting Hanoi's ability to patrol the South China Sea amid tensions with China.

U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper disclosed the decision during an address in Vietnam, which has emerged as the most vocal opponent in Asia of China's territorial claims in the South China Sea.

In his speech, Esper took aim at China, which he accused of "bullying" neighbors, like Vietnam.

"China's unilateral efforts to assert illegitimate maritime claims threaten other nations' access to vital natural resources, undermine the stability of regional energy markets, and increase the risk of conflict," Esper told students at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam.

The vessel will be Vietnam's second cutter from the U.S. Coast Guard, which just two years ago transferred a Hamilton-class cutter to Vietnam. By providing the ships, the U.S. hopes to enable Vietnam to assert its sovereignty and deter China.

More than four decades after the Vietnam War ended, ties between the United States and Vietnam are increasingly focused on shared concerns over Chinese expansion.

China claims 90% of the potentially energy-rich South China Sea, but Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines, Taiwan and Vietnam also lay claim to parts of it, through which about $3 trillion of trade passes each year.

Beijing in July sent a ship for a months-long seismic survey to an area internationally designated as Vietnam’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ) but also claimed by China.

Vietnam said earlier this month it could explore legal action in the dispute, a move previously taken by the Philippines - where Esper visited earlier this week.

In 2016, the Philippines won a ruling from the Permanent Court of Arbitration in The Hague that invalidated China's claim over most of the South China Sea.

Speaking earlier at Vietnam's defense ministry, Esper said the international rules-based order “has come under duress."

"Collectively, we must stand up against coercion and intimidation, protect the rights of all nations, big and small," Esper said.

The United States accuses China of militarizing the South China Sea and trying to intimidate Asian neighbors who might want to exploit its extensive oil and gas reserves.

In April, the United States delivered six patrol boats worth $12 million to Vietnam's Coast Guard. Those vessels were in addition to another twelve "Metal Shark" patrol boats it provided to Vietnam in the last two years.
