Forum-Sicherheitspolitik - Vietnamesisches Heer

Wäre zwar auch ein Kooperationsthema, da aber hier die Vietnamesen die Hauptnutznießer dieses Deals sein werden, stelle ich es mal hier ein...

Zitat:Vietnam, Russia sign military-technical deal

Vietnam and Russia have signed an agreement to expand co-operation on military trade and technologies, the Ministry of Defence (MoD) in Moscow has announced. The new accord is intended to reinvigorate flagging defence-trade ties, with Vietnam increasingly wary that its military deals with Moscow could risk damaging its strategic relationship with the United States.

The Vietnamese-Russian inter-governmental agreement on military-technical co-operation was signed on 1 December in Moscow in talks between Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu and his counterpart Phan Van Giang. [...] A joint statement published by the Ministry of National Defence (MND) in Hanoi said the agreement forms part of a new objective for Vietnam and Russia to deepen their ‘comprehensive strategic partnership' by 2030.

Zitat:Vietnam Selects South Korea's K9 Thunder Marking a Strategic Shift in Military Relations in Asia [...]

Facing an increasingly tense regional environment, particularly in the South China Sea, Vietnam is seeking to modernize its artillery while reducing its dependence on Russia. Until now, most of its military equipment came from Moscow, but the war in Ukraine has disrupted Russian arms supplies, prompting Hanoi to diversify its sources. The contract signed between Hanwha Aerospace and the Vietnamese government, unveiled in January 2025, involves the acquisition of around 20 K9A1 self-propelled howitzers for an estimated $300 million. [...]

Vietnam’s interest in the K9 Thunder was expressed during the 11th ROK-Vietnam Strategic Defense Dialogue in April 2024, against the backdrop of rising tensions with China. [...]

The first K9 units are expected to arrive in Vietnam by 2025, with initial deployment likely to strategic artillery units in the northern regions. However, acquiring 20 to 30 units will not be sufficient for a comprehensive modernization of Vietnam’s artillery forces.
