Vietnam, India to hold defense dialogue.

Maybe you can ask Maoists to train you for free, they're just good as VIetnamese..that's why you Indians can't annihilate them, we Chineses definitely need Maoist training

you will get it for free of cost since you arm/fund them for their activities....

OBJECTION that's a false accusation without any evidents.

A few PJ-10s may have had been supplied to Vietnam already, you'd never know

There are a lot of other things India can give Viets - will they be interested in LCH attack helo when
they'd want to replace the Mi-35s? India will use these to replace our Mi-35s







I'm also looking at a JV for a Vietnam-specific variant of Prahaar NLOS-BSM, and maybe Agni-IIPrime/Agni-4 ballistic missiles will be good for them.







But above all, ECONOMIC COOPERATION, BILATERAL TRADE, PEOPLE-TO-PEOPLE INTERACTION is more important, a strong defence relationship can only grow on a strong economic foundation. There's so much to learn from them.

Heh, very nice pictures!
We are always in need of modern weapons to protect our Spratlys islands and to control the South China Sea. Can´t wait to get some of them to scare potential enemies.

Ofcourse,,,besides the acquisition of 6 new-build Kilo-class SSKs from Russia is going to
be significant for Vietnamese Undersea Combat Capabilities.

LOL it looks like Santa Claus is coming to town! Ho Ho Ho kids! Get in line for your lollipops (Brahmos).

 

[Viet]

Considering how large the South China Sea is, we surely need more Naval ships and fighter planes to control the region. At present we are still too weak.

Does Vietnam have plans to buy any Corvettes specialised for Anti-Submarine Ops ? Looking
at the no. of PLAN subs that maybe deployed in the region, VPN might want a couple of
them for such operations -

Project-28 Kamorta ASW Corvette

2,800 tons displacement

8 x Klub (or BrahMos) ASCMs
16 x Barak-2 SAMs
180 x Anti-sub rockets (in 2 x RBU-6000 MRLs with 90 rockets each)
6 x Torpedo launchers
2 x AK-630 30mm guns
1 x Otemelara 76.2mm gun

Provision to carry 1 ASW/SAR chopper onboard

Indian Navy has ordered 3+ 8 such corvettes, this can be lucrative for Vietnam People's Navy
in near future, if Vietnam wants to have ASW Corvettes. You can also get new-generation Offshore
Patrol Vessels even from Private Companies like Pipavav Shipyards of India,,,

Pipavav AOPV -



Saryu-class Stealth OPV (IN has ordered 4 + 5) -



India and Vietnam can be great friends:smile:

Mate, Vietnam has ordered two more Gepard-Class Frigates from the Russians. Yeh, the warships are specially designed for anti-submarine warfare. Vietnam likes Russian made weapons, not sure if we will buy some from India in the future.

Anyway it will be nice if we can do some Naval exercises together.
