In case you don't know, the VINASAT-1 has been a part of the C4ISR we're building.

Yes, I know, for military communications, but my question was for the C-295 AWACS.

@Viet @Silent Knight @Farhan Bohra @Aqsuperman @xiao qi etc

I just cleaned the translation of the article about the Japanese satellites for Vietnam, so you might want to read it again.

Those satellites will provide a great ISR capability, really nice.



With the satellites coming online over the next few years, the main hardware needed for a good ISR network is the C-295 AWACS. @Silent Knight any idea when that may come?

I think they are talking about NEC X-band radar satellites, with optical sensors capable of resolving images smaller than 0.5 m across. Launch scheduled for 2017 and 2020. the $1.2 billion deal includes the Japan made first satellite, setting up production facility for the second satellite, training and ground control station in Vietnam. that is ASNARO sat — Advanced Satellite with New System Architecture for Observation. suitable as spy satellites.

Yes, that's the one. Being able to produce such satellite is a great capability. That's a $1.2 billion very well spent.

Some clowns mock that Vietnam doesn't give enough priority to the army and they ignore all the money that Vietnam is spending to build all these other capabilities which are actually more important than the ground army.

These clowns pretend to know better than the Vietnamese military what the priorities ought to be.

$1.2 bn isnt high? Actually too much high. They are robbing.

Why Vietnam never contacted IAI for TecSar?

Ah you know I care little about those that constantly talk down other people's achievements but highlighting other minor things. Narrow mindset.

Anyway Yes the money is well spent, I believe too. $1.2 billions are not a little sum. The big plus is we get access to Japanese satellite technology, enabling us later to produce Vietnam made X-band satelittes

Viet kong is banned term, please do not use it.

Dear posters please discuss defence e.g. new purchases and post media. This thread is not for debating.

@madokafc did you read this post before you started debating on here? Had you been someone else my response would have been harsher. Now, please do not post on here again, unless it is a simple discussion on hardware or putting up media. I remembered being tagged by many Indonesian members when Chinese posters raided the Indonesian thread, and i acted fast. So please show respect to this thread.

Thanks bro. You know, I generally love all the Asian countries, especially South East Asia, it's culture, people and scenery is very beautiful, and I've travelled extensively there. I find it difficult at times to see the fighting that goes on between Asian people, ok granted it's not as bad as the Middle East thread, but it would be nice if everyone just got along.

Well, actually, after reading the article from your link, I see that the 1.2 billion includes many other civilian projects that are part of the ODA package including the building of a port, etc, but hell yes, its money well spent no matter how much it is.

Between those satellites as well as others already done as well as planned and the Indian satellite covering the SCS that Vietnam has full access to it including pointing it to whatever it wishes, a great capability will be deployed.

Yes I will keep it in mind hehe. Always wanted to visit Vietnam thoroughly in a road trip....I absolutely love pho!

Is French still spoken a lot? Because I speak fluent French.

you got a great offer there.... dont screw it up........

To be fair, other that sis Mado, we really get along well with the Indonesian people, we don't mess with them, they don't mess with us, when we go there or they come here is usually cordial, but there is always a black sheep that has to have that deep sense of cheap nationalism and the need to be competitive. Its really a shame.

Not much issues either with the other ASEAN countries, just a minot thing here and there, people are people after all, some have political agendas, some have grudges, but not bad overall.

Our real fights are with the chinese.

Again, thank you. You are the only moderator in this section that actually takes care of business.

Its actually about $50 million per satellite, there are many other unrelated things in that ODA package.

But I don't want you to feel left out man, feel free to tell GOI to give us the Agni 4 TOT, we'll take it.

you got a great offer there.... dont screw it up........

No kidding, actually, I just discovered yesterday, after looking at her profile, that @xiao qi is actually a girl. I didn't know that. I'm sure she has many cute friends.

 

[xiao qi]

I am for our army conducting exercises with other countries, collecting experience promoting friendship with other armies. With America, Japan, Korea and Australia armed forces. as far as I know, the US Marine Corps wants to do it on land and sea with Vietnam, but there are still too much sensibilities in Vietnam hindering such exercises to happen. My bet is, if the Chinese continue advancing their arrogance and aggression in the region, conducting regular exercises, including inviting Russia navy to the drills, bullying our fishermen, the day will come such domestic sensibilities will disappear.

I don't think Vietnam should do that, We view Us as a counterpart, not our ally to against any nation. Hoping for Chinese's government doesn't become silly to force Vietnam on US's side. We want to make friends not want a war.

Viet Nam’s policy of national defence is for self-defence and peace; Viet Nam does not ally in military to any other country and does not allow any foreign country to open and operate military base in the territory of Viet Nam; Viet Nam is not working with any country against any other country.

Yup, i have many cute friends

shes a bit young for me

i went out with a chinese girl once...... we split because she was moving back to china and intended on not comming back due to family issues.
i have not been to vietnam honestly. a freind of mine has been and he loved it. i prefer china as i know a bit of chinese and it helps a lot. and i find stuff is cheaper if you speak chinese instead of english. i would probably go to vietnam in about 3 years. i was supposed to go to israel this year but couldn't. so i went to the lake district instead.

Well, everybody has their own preferences and taste, I know both, Vietnam and China pretty well, I've been going to China multiple times a year for the last 15 years, actually I just came from there a few days ago. Can find the right person in either country, chinese women are definitely a lot better than the men, but Viet women are a lot friendlier in my experience, chinese are a bit too serious and too business like. Vietnamese like to enjoy life a lot more. A good Vietnamese girl can be a treasure. That's just my take. If you can, try to make it to Vietnam, its a good experience.

You're a lady, wow, I thought you were a guy, but then again it is a military forum, hence most our posters are male. How did you come to know of this place? Are you doing a degree in political affairs or something?
