Vietnam Defence Forum

The equipment should be shown here only if they are made in Vietnam, or they are some big cost and special item, like submarine. If they are not, what is the purpose. Even the poorest country in the world can buy such equipment.

this thread is about VN military news and discussions. the main purpose is to show the status of the Vietnamese Army as it is. It is not "made in VN" weapons. if we followed your foolish suggestion, this thread would be ended after 5 pages. Closed.

unless commie chinese start a war, the chance is slim that a defence treaty comes into reality. both America and Vietnam are not ready yet. The problem is, if we ally with America now, China can see the move as a provocation, encirclement, war readiness/preparation, thing could become very ugly. we had seen such a thing in the past when we aligned with the Soviet Union.

So what is the possible solution? I think we should conduct secret talks with the US and Japan with the goal of a mutual defence treaty, and put our signature first if the hell breaks out.

the Premier Minister visits Germany currently and restates VN non-alignment policy. he also informs the german government about the current situation in the south china sea. the Merkel´s government maintains a neutral stance in the dispute.

Yes, that makes sense and still, its good to see articles like that in the US press asking for a closer relationship with Vietnam.

Vietnam needs to play for time, there is a lot of secret military development under way. Unlike what the chinese clowns in this forum like to say, time benefits Vietnam and regardless of how much the chinese military grow, the military balance in the area will allow Vietnam to defend itself better and deter china more effectively as time goes on.

that is our nature, we usually don´t brag like the chinese do.

I can´t wait to see the Sigmars in the south china sea, equipped with Exocet antiship missiles. according to the news, MBDA (France) accerelates producing MM40 Exocet Block 3 for our Sigma 9814 warships. too sad, I don´t see much of them yet.

being a comrade, neighbor, brother/sister does not hinder you to bully vietnam. come on, we both know: china and vietnam are historic, regional rivals because of political differences. vietnam has a plan for south east asia, and that is not in your interests.

more or less the same applies to your neighbor japan, your historic nemesis. the big difference to japan is, we want a peaceful coexistence with china, while japan wants to subjugate china, and become the leader of asia.
