Military | Binh Nguyen - 28/05/2015 07:15
From the outstanding achievements of Vietnam's defense industry ...
Month 1/2015, the Navy had received artillery ship TT-400TP number 276 (the 5th) due Z173 Factory (Hong Ha Company) building in the country. The 6th (number 277) is being completed the final stages to prepare acceptance and handover.
Learning from the first artillery ships, Z173 has adjusted some more, to meet the requirements of the Navy, facilitate the operation and activities of the crew team, is the experience level Collection appreciate the technical characteristics, aesthetic.
The new building successful TT-400TP artillery ship not only contribute to strengthen the Navy but also marked a major advance in mastering strategic shipbuilding technology, ensuring that the task of protecting maritime sovereignty.
The main armament of the TT-400TP including AK-176M 1 gunboat 76.2 mm caliber and one AK-630M artillery fast 30 mm size.
The control system consists of fire-control radar MR-123-02 with equipment complemented by TV views help increase accuracy, the target is destroyed ships, cruise missiles as well as the goals fly in all weather conditions.
In addition, the ship can be fitted with different types of weapons, including low-altitude air defense missile Igla. Continuous operation time of 30 days and nights at sea, capable of combat in windy conditions grade 9-10 and wave level 8, a range of 2,500 nautical miles.
Colonel Nguyen Van Cuong (rightmost) - Director Z173 Factory introduced to Prime Minister Nguyen Tan Dung on the factory sector.
Nguyen states, "We did not stop the play for his country ships. Exports of ships also within the development strategy of the company"
In terms of features, can assert class artillery ships TT-400TP Vietnam due to design and progress are not inferior vessels Svetlyak similar Russian weapons and equipment, but also superior in speed and as distance journeys.
Even compared to the class M-58 cannon ship, considered the "pride" of the shipbuilding industry, the TT-400TP Thailand's Vietnam than in many aspects.
TT-400TP have a modular design, the independent module available equipment installation is almost complete, are coupled together in the form of blocks. Thus, the progress of shipbuilding fast and absolute precision.
The application of the system of international quality standard ISO-9001 ensures strict control of tempo and quality for each ship. This is one of the criteria required if these ships are exported abroad.
Regarding prices, TT-400TP lot cheaper than Russian Svetlyak, just buy the preliminary design work from abroad has helped save approximately $ 10 million to Vietnam. Labor costs are also a huge advantage, help reduce costs than the Russian ship.
Regarding human resources, if exported, Vietnam not only to acquire foreign exchange (or barter), but also to maintain and improve the skills of a team of engineers, ship workers towards the modern battleship class more local self-closing.
Sometime ago, the Asia Times revealed that the Philippines will purchase some high-speed patrol boats closed by Vietnam with the support of Russian technology.
Although not stated by Vietnam vessels which interested countries, but most candidates is perhaps the artillery ship variant TT-400TP or TT-400 patrol boat of it.
Clearly, Vietnam is ready export TT-400TP ship cannon. However, despite the many competitive advantages, but Vietnam also faced with certain difficulties.
These barriers need to be overcome
First, the need to have the approval of the foreign partner. Although this is by the Vietnamese ship design and manufacturing, but the two most important components is the motivation system and accompanying weapon fire control systems are made by foreign suppliers.
Without constraints on Vietnam banned exports to a third country is so good, simple job seeking clients, negotiating, contracting, construction and exports as international practice.
However, in case of tight binding terms or unclear, Vietnam needs to negotiate to get the "nod" of partners.
Aim to avoid facing legal problems, relational affect traditional partners as well as the provision of weapons and equipment to Vietnam later.
Secondly, we have not much experience in the field of defense marketing.
Vietnam simply because traditionally almost exclusively to buy weapons rather rarely exported, so the inexperienced marketing defense products is natural.
However, not hard to overcome this barrier, it is important to have a common strategy oriented on export defense products and not just ship cannon case TT-400TP.
Accordingly, clearly identify which products the first choice for domestic, the products are for export, with consideration to balancing the relationship with the countries concerned.
In addition, there should be a lead agency coordinating activities common arms exports at the national level, such as Russia or Ukraine have ukrspetsexport Rosoboronexport.
The agency will be responsible for finding common customers, on behalf of the production unit of talks on arms export contract.
Besides, the preparation of publicity materials carefully, professional, attractive companies like major arms exporter in the world is also to be considered properly.
Hopefully in the near future, there will be modern ships of Vietnam is exported to many countries around the world.
