Vietnam People's Army photos and videos

i like female intelligence officers, i am willing to get interrogated by them

Congratulations for great victory

to Vietnam

Thanks for posting. I like the look of the parade in every instance. Don't let yourselves forget the war and your
struggle for liberation from colonial occupation regimes.

interesting ， from these pics， half Vietnamese look like filipinos, Thia , half Vietnamese have east asian face ,

It seems Vietnam also have many ethnic groups , am I right?

Why are they making new BMP1s?

BMP3s exist.

@The-thing-next-door : Vietnames hasn't Russian BMP-3 IFV. They learn by reverse engineering like the Chinese.

Learning from the Ukraine War, Vietnamese decided upgrade Soviet S-60 57mm with new fire control system but S-60 AA gun still semi-automatic.
I think Vietnamese will produce ABM/AHEAD for S-60 AA gun. You can see previous my post about Vietnamse SPAAG project

It is not difficult to buy a few plate rollers. Every large pressure vessel manufacturer has them. Rolled armour is not particularly important either. It offers marginal weight savings and is harder to add components on top of. I actually suspect it was used so much by the Soviets to minimise the need for welding, or seeing as they had been using semi automated submerged arc machines since the late 30s simply to show off.

@Garry B: Vietnamese will copy outdated dual barrel AK-230 cannon but they will produce new ammuntion (ABM/AHEAD) for SPAAG. This problem is not difficult because they have the ability to produce AESA radar.

Thinking about things

It may be in Russias best interest to not just improve North Koreas manufacturing processes and have them move production of certain Russian weapon systems in that country, but also in Vietnam as well. Not only would it be a large advantage to Vietnam in order to get modern and newer weapons production going, but it will also guarantee a customer.

Big beneficial move for both sides.

I am not so sure that is a good idea, they are left communists and are likely the type to try and put pressure on Russia to not wage wars regardless of how necessary and even to try and demand Russia become woke.

These people had to fight off the americans and suffered for it, yet today their government happily dose deals with them.

This is a horrendous accusation and I demand you to provide evidences.

Slander is a crime punishable by law, you know.

Criticizing a government is slander? Incase it did not translate, it is common to us a nations name when referring to said nation's government, e.g. the americans desire x, y and z. When saying that one is clearly referring to those in power rather than the general populace as the latter neither makes decisions for nor speaks for the nation.

(Edit.)

I did a bit of digging, it seems Vietnam's government does not follow the typical leftist trend.
