(Asien) Vietnams Marine

[Schneemann]

Vietnam hat mit dem Bau einer ersten eigenen Fregatte begonnen. Einerseits will man sich wohl etwas vom russischen Einfluss loseisen, andererseits scheint das Konzept auf einem russischen Design aufzubauen.

Vietnam Begins Construction on First Indigenous Multipurpose Frigate [...]

The chosen shipbuilder of this anti-submarine warfare (ASW) frigate is Song Thu Corporation. It is unclear how many vessels will be eventually produced, but the first is now under construction at Song Thu’s shipyard in Da Nang. [...]

Vietnam has traditionally relied on the USSR, now Russia, for much of its military kit. Examples include four Gepard 3.9-class (Project 11661) frigates and six Project 636.1 Kilo-class submarines. However, Hanoi is seeking to diversify away from relying solely on Moscow so it can be far more independent in terms of defence equipment. [...] Earlier reports suggested Vietnam was going to build a 4,000-tonne, 125m-long warship based on a heavily modified Russian Project 11356R Admiral Grigorovich-class frigate.
