Vietnam joins submarine arms race amid South China Sea tensions


Vietnam finally has a new weapon against China's aggressive maritime claims after receiving its first Kilo-class submarine from Russia on the last day of 2013, according to the Washington-based Strategy Page on Feb. 20.

The submarine is the first of six 2,300-tonne Kilo-class submarines to arrive in Vietnam after the country signed a US$2.1 billion deal with Russia in 2009. The submarines are likely to be based at Cam Ranh Bay, a deep water port located in southern Vietnam, Strategy Page said. The port was formerly used by the United States Navy during the Vietnam War and later became a naval facility for the Soviet Union.

A Kilo-class submarine is capable of carrying 18 torpedoes or SS-N-27 anti-ship missiles. The SS-N-27 can be launched underwater from the torpedo tubes and its range is estimated to be 300 kilometers. Combined with its quietness and Russian cruise missiles, the Kilo-class submarine is a very dangerous weapon against the surface combat vessels of the People's Liberation Army Navy operating in the disputed South China Sea, the report said.

Other nations such as North Korea, Iran and China have also imported Kilo-class submarines from Russia. China is said to have gone one step further, designing its own unlicensed version of the Kilo-class, known as the Type 41 Song-class submarine.

Vietnam was able to purchase the Russian-built submarines at a relatively low price, and they may not be equipped with air independent propulsion which would allow non-nuclear boats to stay underwater for weeks at a time, according to Strategy Page.

Tensions between Hanoi and Beijing center around the disputed Paracel and Spratly islands in the South China Sea, while Taiwan, the Philippines, Malaysia and Brunei also lay claim to the area.

This brings the cumulative number of frigates that Vietnam has contracted for with the shipyard as part of a restocking Gepard-3.9 project to six.

Itar-Tass quoted a shipyard spokesperson as saying engineers are putting the finishing touches to the manufacture of the hull.

Following the installation of technical positioning and other electronic components they will begin trial runs in the Baltic Sea and should be ready for delivery in early 2017, the news agency reported.

Vietnam received two first Gepard-class frigates from Russia in 2011 under a contract signed in 2006.

It signed another contract for two more such vessels in 2013, and the manufacture is on the right track.

Design of future Damen SIGMA 9814 Corvettes for Vietnamese Navy revealed

During Vietship 2014 Nava Exhibition in Vietnam, Dutch shipyard Damen unveiled for the first time the design of the Sigma 9814 Corvette ordered by Vietnam. It was announced in October 2011 that Damen shipyard in Vlissingen, Netherlands will build four Sigma corvettes for the Vietnamese Navy. The first two ships will be built in Vlissingen (Netherlands), and the last two (options) will be built in Vietnam, under Dutch supervision.



Based on previously published information and from what can be seen on the model shown at Vietship 2014 the new SIGMA 9814 class will be fitted with:
8x MBDA Exocet MM40 Block 3
12x MBDA MICA VL surface-to-air missiles (in VLS)
1x Oto Melara 76mm main gun
2x Oto Melara MARLIN-WS 30mm gun mounts
The corvette will acomodate one anti-submarine helicopters Ka-28. The corvettes are set to receive the latest generation of electronics and sensors from Thales including TACTICOS combat management system, SMART-S Mk 2 radar and STING EO Mk 2 electro-optical fire control system.

Design wise, the new Sigma 9814 differs quite a lot combared to existing Sigma designs (9813, 10513 or 10514) especially around the bridge area. Likewise, the bow appears to be more angled to possibly provide more stealth.

Vietnamese Coast Guard to acquire naval helicopters for OPVs

The Vietnamese Coast Guard (Canh Sat Bien Vietnam - CSBV) is looking to acquire new naval helicopters for its DN 2000 (Damen 9014-class) offshore patrol vessels (OPVs). The acquisition plan was revealed by Major Nguyen Khac Vuot, the CSBV's deputy director for the International Relations Division, at the OPV Asia Pacific 2014 conference on 18 March.

"The acquisition of the helicopters will be part of Vietnam's effort to integrate aerial surveillance as a part of the coastguard's patrols," said Maj Nguyen. "This will significantly enhance our maritime operations."

The CSBV currently operates one Damen DN 2000 OPV with pennant number 8001. The 90 m vessel is powered by four Caterpillar C3516C engines and can attain a top speed of 21 kt. It has a range of 5,000 n miles and a flight deck that will support helicopters with an all-up weight of 14 tons.

The 8001 is the first of four helicopter-capable OPVs ordered from the state-owned Z189 shipyard built to Netherlands-based Damen Shipyard's design. The rest are currently in various stages of construction and all four vessels will be equipped with helicopters.

IHS Jane's understands that the Vietnam Ministry of National Defence has considered the Kamov Ka-27 and the Eurocopter AS565 Panther as possible contenders, but the CSBV indicated that it is still considering other possibilities as long as the aircraft fulfils the tonnage limits of its OPVs' flight deck.

The CSBV has declined to reveal neither the budget allocated for the acquisition programme nor the number of units that it intends to purchase. "Expect the acquisition process to start in the next two to three months," said Maj Nguyen.

Besides naval helicopters, the CSBV has also laid out plans to acquire an unknown number of CASA C-212 Aviocar aircraft and mobile ground command centres to manage the aircraft in maritime surveillance missions.

Vietnam to receive two more Gepard frigates in 2017


The People's Army of Vietnam (PAVN) Navy is scheduled to take delivery of its third and fourth Russian-built Gepard 3.9 (Project 11661) light frigates in 2017, according to financial statements released by Russia's Zelenodolsk Shipyard on 1 April.

The PAVN Navy commissioned its first two modified Gepard-class frigates, Dinh Tien Hoang and Ly Thai Ho , in March and August 2011 respectively. The two additional vessels, reported to be anti-submarine warfare (ASW) variants, are being built under a contract signed in late 2011.

The class is based on a Russian Navy design, but modified according Vietnamese requirements by the Zelenodolsk Design Bureau. The vessels feature a low-observable superstructure, have an overall length of 102 m, and displace 2,100 tonnes at full load. The vessels can reach a top speed of 26 kt and have a range of 5,000 nautical miles at 10 kt.

According to IHS Jane's Fighting Ships , the light frigates' armaments include one 76 mm AK-176, two 30 mm AK-630, and two AO-18KD guns. The ships can embark a Ka-28 or Ka-31 naval helicopter on deck.

The Gepard class is expected to replace the four Petya (Project 159)-class light frigates that have been in service for more than 30 years.

Le drapeau vietnamien hissé sur deux sous-marins

La Marine populaire du Vietnam a organisé une cérémonie de hissement du drapeau national sur les deux premiers sous-marins de la classe Kilo, marquant la mise en service officielle de ces bâtiments jeudi dans le port militaire de Cam Ranh, province de Khanh Hoa (Centre).

Cet événement revêt une importance particulière comme il marque un nouveau développement de la Marine populaire du Vietnam en particulier et de l’Armée populaire du Vietnam en général, s’est félicité le Premier ministre Nguyên Tân Dung lors de la cérémonie à laquelle ont assisté l’ancien secrétaire du Parti communiste du Vietnam Lê Kha Phiêu, le vice-Premier ministre et ministre des Affaires étrangères Pham Binh Minh et des dirigeants de certains ministères et localités.

La fondation et la défense nationales, l’édification et la défense de la Patrie sont une loi vitale dans l’histoire de développement de la nation vietnamienne. C’est aussi une belle tradition, une obligation sacrée des générations des Vietnamiens, a déclaré le chef du gouvernement.

Dans le contexte mondial et régional immédiat comme à long terme, tout le Parti, toute l’armée et tout le peuple doivent s’unir et faire cause commune, s’efforcer, par la force globale de tout le pays, d’édifier et de sauvegarder à tout prix l’indépendance, la souvernaineté, l’intégrité territoriale de la Patrie, a-t-il souligné.

Le pays ayant subi tant de souffrances et sacrifices dues aux guerres d’agression féroces, nous aspirons à la paix pour la construction nationale et l’amélioration des conditions de vie du peuple, a poursuivi le dirigeant vietnamien.

Mais les bons voeux ne sauraient suffire à nous assurer la paix. Nous devons être puissants dans tous les domaines que ce soient politique, économie, culture, société, défense, sécurité, diplomatie, solidarité nationale, et seulement avec cela que nous pouvons défendre fermement la souveraineté et l’intégrité territoriale du pays.

Ainsi, tout le Party, tout le peuple et toute l’armée devraient saisir à fond et réaliser efficacement les options et résolutions du Party, poursuivre le développement socio-économique rapide et durable, se concentrer sur le renforcement de la capacité de l’armée populaire et de la police populaire, notamment les forces maritimes et aériennes, a indiqué Nguyên Tân Dung.

Le Premier ministre a réaffirmé que la politique de défense du Vietnam est celle de la paix et de l’auto-défense. La modernisation de l’armée du Vietnam est seulement destinée à l’autodéfense et à la sauvegarde des intérêts légitimes du pays. Elle ne vise aucunement un quelconque pays.

Il a profité de cette occasion pour exprimer ses remerciements aux amis internationaux, en particulier le président russe Vladimir Putin, le Premier ministre russe Dmitry Medvedev, le gouvernement russe et le ministère russe de la Défense, les amis russes pour leur soutien précieux accordé au Vietnam durant son processus de modernisation de son armée.

A ce jour, le Vietnam a pris livraison de deux sous-marins à propulsion diesel-électrique du projet 636 Varchavianka (Improved Kilo, selon le code de l'OTAN). Baptisés HQ-182 Hanoi et HQ-183 Hô Chi Minh-Ville, ces bâtiments appartiennent à la troisième génération de sous-marins.

D'un déplacement en charge de 3.100 tonnes, les submersibles de cette classe ont un déplacement de 2.350 tonnes en surface et de 3.950 tonnes en plongée et une vitesse de 17/20 nœuds. Ils peuvent plonger à 300 mètres de profondeur et sont dotés de torpilles de 533 mm (six tubes), de mines et de missiles de croisière Kalibr.

Ces bâtiments sont en mesure de repérer leur cible à une distance trois à quatre fois supérieure à celle à laquelle ils peuvent eux-mêmes être repérés par l'ennemi. Cette discrétion leur a valu d'être surnommés "trous noirs" dans l’océan par les experts de l'OTAN. – VNA

Vietnam debuts 2 locally-made missile warships



The Vietnam People’s Navy on Thursday conducted a flag raising ceremony for two fast-attack missile ships of Molniya class, the first of its kind to have been built locally in Vietnam.

>> Vietnam puts most advanced fisheries surveillance ship into operation amid sea tension
>> Vietnam to make 30,000 steel-clad boats for fishermen by 2020
>> Vietnam to give fishermen soft loans to build ships given marine tension

The ceremony to debut the new vessels, HQ377 and HQ378, was held at the military port of Naval Zone 2 in southern Dong Nai Province.

The ships were earlier handed over by the Ministry of Defense to Brigade 167 of Naval Zone 2.

The vessels, designed based on a Russian version, were built at the Ba Son shipyard under the General Department of Military Industry.

These vessels are equipped with advanced weapons with state-of-the-art functions.

Compared to an older Russian version of its kind, the new vessels have a more modern engine system.

Colonel Luong Viet Hung, Command of the Naval Zone 2, said, “This kind of warship has a complex and modern design, which has made the best use of the latest scientific and technical advancements.”

Each of the warships is equipped with 16 missiles arranged into four modules for launch on its sides, two AK-630 shipborne artillery systems with 4,000 shells each, which can fire 4,000-5,000 shots per minute.

They can operate in seas with winds as strong as 74 kph and are able to attack targets both in the air and on the sea, the colonel said.

He added that these vessels can give effective support to other military ships in battles at sea, contributing to enhance the overall strength of Naval Zone 2 in particular and the Vietnam People’s Navy in general.

At the ceremony, Colonel Hung handed the national flag and Vietnamese naval flag to the captains and political commissars of the two new vessels, wishing them to fulfill their duties in leading the new warships.

“The East Vietnam Sea situation has become increasingly tense and complicated, especially after China illegal placed its Haiyang Shiyou 981 oil rig in the Vietnamese waters. In such context, the High Command of the Naval Zone 2 in general and Bridge 167 and the two new warships must show their solidarity and determination to overcome all difficulties to fulfill all duties assigned to them in the new situation,” Colonel Hung said.
