Most of it is Russian/Chinese technology. So very similar to the Chinese military hardware, the Vietnamese airforce of today is nearly exclusively built off Russian and Chinese MiGs. Which model i'm not too sure. |

(IMG:http://www.nhandan.com.vn/english/business/311205/images/31-12taudau.jpg) QUOTE Biggest oil tanker launched The Bach Dang Shipyard, a member of the Vietnam National Shipbuilding Industry Corporation (VINASHINB) early this morning successfully launched VINASHIN SEA, an oil tanker of 13,500 tonnes, the biggest oil tanker launched so far in Vietnam. The oil tanker is made on order from VINASHIN Ocean Transport Company. It is 145.3 metres long, 20.8 metres wide and 11.2 metres high. The shipbuilding process was made under the supervision of Japan’s ship registering NK and according to ISO 9001-2000 quality standards. The key engine has a capacity of 5,180 KW from MAN B&W. The successful building and launching of the tanker has affirmed the skill of Vietnamese shipbuilders, marking a significant development for Vietnam’s shipbuilding industry. The same day, the Bach Dang Shipyard also kicked off construction of a 22.500 tonne-vessel for the Vietnam National Shipping Lines Corporation and another 10,500 tonne ship named Noma 2 for Japan’s Noma Company. I believe Vietnam also makes ships for the U.K and other European countries. This post has been edited by Byron: Jan 15 2006, 10:09 AM |

Nowadays VietNam buys weaponery from Russia, Poland, India and the Ukraine. I don't think many Chinese weapons are still operational. |

What we can see is only a small fraction of Vietnam's military hardwares. Since day one after 1975, the budget for military is always (no exception) higher than any other areas. Vietnam never wants to make public about their military. Except for the current year, the budget for the 1st time introduced to the public. Military spending is made up of slightly more than 50%, having said that is has been decreased to focus on economy development.

I am personally fond of this plane:
http://www.thanhniennews.com/education/?catid=4&newsid=11136 It flies, probably without making a lot of noise, doesn't consume gasoline like there is no tomorrow, and is low profile. It's a nice plane for coast watching, but it has plenty of civilian uses and a potential for export. |

probably some ordinary guys. And if it is just some ordinary guys, guess how easy it would be for a real spy to infiltrate.
