That's a concrete block, not a solid concrete. 5.45 pew pew has no chances against real concrete.

It's pretty impressive penetration for a small assault weapon. Those concrete blocks are common use to build houses and building around the world which is a good indication of penetration and damage. Nato ammo 5.56 mm will do less 1/4 damage with the same concrete blocks . To blow away a full heavy concrete block or bunch of sand bags, you will need a heavy machine gun like .50 caliber

Don't take it too seriously. Viet just making a visual effect movies.

Hey big mouth @flowerfan2020 , how big mouth PLA is doing? When big mouth PLA will invade Taiwan? Just like COVID 19 vaccine, I guess the Taiwanese are immune to big mouth PLA threats after more than 70 years of threats and big mouth talking. Better not doing any dumb move, because the world is just looking a reason to be united against big mouth PLA ... Remember the COVID???

Vietnam new local-made VCM-01 anti-ship cruise missile which is a development of the Vietnamese KCT-15, a customized version of the Russian-made Kh-35UE produced under license in Vietnam. It is believed to have a range of 300km.

That makes Vietnam the most powerful surface navy (excluding submarine) in SE Asia, surpassing Singapore.

In the event of naval battle involving shooting war of surface fleet (no air force, no submarine), Singapore navy will be sunk.

And Vietnam is able to make all these missiles herself, Singapore will run out of ammo in no time because she imports everything.

Off topic but south Asia is in the middle of a covid surge. I urge all Vietnamese friends to protect themselves though masks, social distancing, and hand washing. Also please get vaccinated as soon as you can.

On the 1st Picture, the good old Petya frigates and so glad they got the upgrade lately. It's scary to think that they were the backbone of VN navy not long ago (10 years exactly) until the Gepard frigates arrived and then the subs.

I always remember seeing a couple of them sitting idle in Ho Chi Minh port (before 2010) for a while and having sailors clothes hanging on cannons to dry ...haha

Thanks to big mouth PLA threats, those Petya are now just support fire ships and VN navy is on the way to build a formidable and respectable force. Again mucho gracias boca grande PLA !!!
