Indian Army Chief in Vietnam to boost defence ties

hm...not sure about vietnam navy calculus. I guess many things are unknown to outsiders like you and me.

Russia has resources to withstand the attack right now. BUT should the West increase the economics sanction and the oil price further sinks to unsustainable level, so less than $50 a barrel, over a long period of time. All would make a perfect storm. Russia could default in 1-2 years as it won´t be able to pay back debts.

I doubt China would help Russia without conditions. the Chinese are too smart if they won´t seize the opportunities. Even the currency swap deal with China will cost Russia a lot of money if the russians are forced to draw it.

We concluded about 100 billion $ deal with Russia and China also concluded 400 billon$ deal with them.But I am afraid that is not going to help them.

On topic:The requirements will determine by VN not us.Only thing we can do is to propose our designs.
But I think the VN govt aims to draw us in to SCS game.

I believe this speedboat deal is just the first step toward a broader cooperation.
 
really? if 8 then $12.5 million a piece. no info about onboard equippments.
Pls read again.
"The sale of at least four patrol vessels comes as part of the $100 million credit line for military extended to Vietnam by India," Rear Admiral AK Verma (retd) Chairman and Managing Director of GRSE said.
Those boats is just a part of the $100 million credit line, more type of Indian war ships will come to VN soon :pop:

yup you are right.. it is part of the credit line.. 12.5 million per piece is just assumption. . Other defence goods are part of this credit line.
 
@Black Flag @Carlosa @Indian members etc...

I guess so about 200 tons, similar to this one of the coast guard: TT-200 class.

i dont like this boat, luks like a fishing boat, push Indian govt to give you stealth frigate like Shivalik class frigates.
 
My guess here is that the current situation of China made India to look at Vietnam as a strategic partner as bot countries have borders with China.
SCS(east sea) is the important sea for China's sea route. 70 % China's merchant ship must pass by SCS(east sea). India Navy's present in SCS(east sea) also a warning -a threat to China ship lane, remind China to play nicely or they will get trouble wt their crucial ship lane .
