Last picture rather reminds me of this scene from a particular submarine related film!

Is that how the second pair will look like? I thought they were going to be almost exact repeat of the first pair, as variant number was the same (3.9) and it was only mentioned that they would be “more ASW oriented”.
Is that a 100mm gun?

Vietnam is considering a purchase of 3rd pair of Gepard class frigates.

Will it have 3R-14 UKSK VLS? Like the Russian 11661K (Dagestan) that played such an interesting role recently in the Caspian Sea?

Zelenodolsk Plant named after AM Gorky’s plans to supply two frigates to Vietnam “Cheetah” in 2017. This Tass representative of the company in the exhibition “Innovation Day of the Defense Ministry” in Moscow Kubinka.

“First we put the two frigates to Vietnam in 2012, two more – in 2017, negotiations for the supply of two more frigates,” – said the representative of the plant.

Frigate “Gepard-3.9” is designed to search, tracking and control of surface, underwater and air targets, to perform convoy operations and patrol service. Its displacement is about 2 ths. Tons, the cruising range – about 5 thousand. Miles. The project is designed Zelenodolsk Design Bureau.

Vietnam is considering a purchase of 3rd pair of Gepard class frigates.

Schiebel also has designed a larger model, provisionally dubbed the S-200, which would offer 10 hours of flight endurance and a payload of up to 440 pounds.

Good news for navy

chiebel is in talks with the Vietnam People’s Navy (VPN) to supply its Camcopter S-100 rotary-wing unmanned aerial vehicle, company officials confirmed at the Singapore Airshow.

Andrew Byrne, regional sales director for Asia-Pacific at the Austrian firm, told IHS Jane’s that the company had briefed Vietnam about the S-100 and was planning to hold a multinational demonstration of the system’s capabilities in the region later in 2014.

“Every southeast Asian country is informed” of the S-100, Byrne said, adding that as well as Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, and Vietnam had shown interest in the platform. Australia and New Zealand were also examining the system, with the latter’s navy taking part in a demonstration for New Zealand power company Transpower in September 2013.

If purchased by Vietnam, the S-100 would be deployed from the VPN’s two new Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding (DSNS) Sigma-class (Type 9814) corvettes, Byrne said. DSNS said in August 2013 that it had agreed to sell the ships to Vietnam: the second sale of the ship to the region following a previous contract with Indonesia. Byrne added that Schiebel was in discussions with the Dutch shipbuilder about integration of the Camcopter’s systems aboard the two corvettes during the manufacturing process.

The S-100 on display at Singapore was fitted with the L-3 Wescam MX-10 EO sensor, an unidentified SIGINT sensor and the Selex ES PicoSAR AESA surveillance radar. Byrne described the S-100 as having a 200 km operational radius, within which the sensor range was 40 km at an altitude of 2,000 m. It is also fitted with a C-band datalink.

An S-200, which Byrne described as being about “three times the size of the S-100”, has been designed but a demonstrator has yet to be built, he said.

Vietnam Navy buy US weapon !??

By Gareth Jennings
4/12/2013

The Socialist Republic of Vietnam is expected to request from the US government the sale of Lockheed Martin P-3 Orion maritime patrol aircraft (MPA), a senior company official told IHS Jane’s on 10 April.

Speaking at the LAAD Defence and Security 2013 exhibition in Rio de Janeiro, Clay Fearnow, director maritime patrol programmes, said the Vietnamese Navy was keen to buy up to six surplus P-3s to help patrol the country’s nearly 3,500 km coastline and 1,396,299 km2 Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ).

“The Vietnamese Navy has expressed a lot of interest [in the P-3], and there is [US government] support to move forward,” said Fearnow.

According to Fearnow, any P-3s sold to Vietnam by the US would in the first instance be non-weaponised, being fitted exclusively with an MPA mission kit such as forward looking infrared (FLIR) sensors and other systems. However, he noted that as relations between the two countries continue to improve there could be scope for weapon systems to be provided at a later date.

Fearnow said Lockheed Martin would recommend they opt for the latter P-3C aircraft, as they are the most advanced and have the fewer airframe hours on them.

Vietnam naval infantry

One question answered…..cap doffed Wan!

u r welcome

The contract included :

+ Building support facilities at Cam Ranh ( may be underground base ), Hai Phong , HCM city
+ The simulation training system at Naval Academy.
+ Training crew ( ~ 50 officers x 6 Subs = 300 officers )


+ Several captive training weapons ( Klub, heavy torpedoes, mines ), containers, spares and repair parts (sonar,sound optical system ) …

Plus the same weapons system can launch the 3M14 LACM…which, given the proximity of somewhere like Zhanjiang to Hai Phong, might be an interesting capability for Vietnam to deploy

… destroy potential enemy !:dev2:
