ha ha ha...you are delusional.These threads are weird, US is not afraid of China Russia alliance, but China is suppose to be afraid of Vietnam Japan relationship?
Don't bring India into this, they are still trying to make a go at economy, they are not going to be going into mass debt in a war with China for things that barely concern them. If they won't go to war for themselves, then they definitely won't for you.
Japan is a formidable enemy, what with the third largest economy and quite a bit of spending on military as well as the buying of equipment from US. So they are pretty good.
Then it leaves Vietnam, maybe if this was on land, Vietnam can do something, but on the seas it's all about the tech, and Vietnam's got none. Can't destroy the enemy if you can't see them, can't destroy the enemy if your missiles are limited and can be intercepted.
So unless Vietnamese morale can somehow power missiles and make them better and radars see further, it's no use.
So bottom line, other than Japan, the others are none factors.
If you haven´t noticed, Vietnam has a 1,000 year glorious military history. Our victories over China, Champa, Khmer (Cambodia), Laos, Siam (Thailand), Mongolia, America and France are evidence. Traditionally we have a strong land army, But for centuries, also Vietnam had one of the most powerful naval fleets in SE Asia, for instance with more 1,000 warships in the war against Ming China and Thai Kingdom. The current weakness of Vietnam navy would be soon overcome.
Until their defeat in the WW II, Japan had a glorious war history, too.
Japan and Vietnam can form their competitive strength. Japan or Vietnam, one alone is too weak.
You once again group your arguments around the ability of making military hardware: warships, missiles, jets, etc... You ignore all other soft factors: strategy, tactic, professional soldiers, etc... Vietnam tends to adopt asymmetric warfare against a superior enemy. We would not send our frigates head on your destroyers, but other means. You lost 6 major wars against Vietnam, a fact you shouldn´t forget!
The Germans like to compare the Vietnamese and Japanese as the "Prussians of Asia". Why?
Because Vietnamese as well as Japanese are very close to the Prussians: iron discipline, hard-working, clever, brave fighter on battlefields. The Germans don´t see Chinese in that category. You may have best military hardware, but you don´t have best fighters.
Prussia was a great military power in Europe.
