Lol, your territories of Parcels and Spratly islands ? They are Chinese islands by historical accounts that many of them are occupied by Vietnam indeed. Vietnam is like another India in Asia that like to claim and eat up Chinese lands.
Relax. Vietnam current military buildup is not for war with China. If the threat is imminent then we would have those items you mentioned. At the moment our relationship to China is good, the most goes mostly to economic development. the Vietnamese think Ccp would go to war against Taiwan, Philippines, Japan or the US and Europe.
lol, it doesn't work that way, you don't just suddenly get all the capability, training, support, infrastructure, integration etc etc, but anyway, I gotta go.
Your armed forces are busy doing bussiness, and yet you paint brush incompetent to some kind of smart strategy.
The army has dual roles. I don’t know if too busy with doing business. In the ancient times same same.
Considering a possible war with China can happen over the Paracels and Spratly islands, we have prepared ourselves for this over the years. Our Flankers are most likely being used as the platform to launch a combined 140 antiship missiles in one salvo; add to that our armed drones each can also carry another 2 short-ranged anti-ship missiles. Our surface vessels can carry a combined over 200 antiship missiles and submarines can carry another 36 missiles. Add to the equation is our USV and UUSV sea drones. We can also reach the Paracels and Spratlys outposts with our LACM and ballistics missiles. All in all, you are looking at over 400 antiship missiles being launched at you from aircrafts, UAVs, surface vessels, and submarines. You are also looking at an unknown number of USV, UUSV, LACM, BM launch at your ships or the island outposts. And who knows, maybe in a few years our locally developed submarines each can launch 6 antiship missiles to add to the punch. Not having a few squadron of Su57 doesn't mean we don't have any other military means to counter your threat ..effectively.
China not only never administered these islands in the past, it never even recognized these islands as part of Chinese territory as late as the early 20th century. Viet Nam otoh, has administered these islands since as early as the late 1500s. At least India never attacked her neighbors and grabbed their territory like China
What incompetence? It's always the Chinese who paint this picture. The dual roles of the Vietnamese military is not a new invention or policy, it has been like that since the ancient times. Our military personnels do not just sit around all year and do nothing except war training. We also have to engage in economic activities to provide finance for our needs and not totally dependent on what funding the State can give. ...it's call financially independent my friend. That's the reason why in the past 15 years, the military has been able to do R&D due to surplus cash on hands and they are the only entity in Viet Nam who can afford to do R&D.
What the heck you know ? CHINA DID ADMINISTERED THOSE ISLSNDS SINCE THE HAN DYNASTY more than 2000 years ago as backed by the artifacts there and historical account. Vietnam never administered and claimed the islands until in the 1970s oil was discovered then it stole them. Even Vietnam gov before unification in 1975 openly admitted to China that those islands belong to China, then your gov changed its stance, how untrustworthy is Vietnamese gov, lol. SCS was histotically dominated by Chinese activities, no surprise the islands belong to China. And what the fxxk ignorant you know about India, it attaked and waged wars on China, Pakistan and Nepal for grabbing lands and swallowed an independent Sikkim in the 1970s. India and Vietnam are like two greedy wolvies in Asia that want to inherit the legacies and unfulfilled designs of their former colonial masters.
Administered when? These remote islands have always been explored, settled temporarily as a fishing resting place by who knows how many fishermen from the past ancient time, even from the Portugese explorers in the early 1500s. There was never a permanent administration by any specific state until Viet Nam established a permanent administration in the early 1600s to 1974. By as late as the early 20th century, these islands were not even on the Chinese national map. You guys constantly invented the B.S that we inherited these islands from the French while we administered continously these islands since the 16th century and we temporarily lost control of these islands due to French colonialism, not inherited from the French ffs.
possible but very distant
