Vietnam orders stealth destroyers P28 from India

[Mikesingh]

Hi guys! Can anyone confirm this news?


Vietnam and India have reached agreement with India for six modern stealth destroyer named P28.

Vietnam and India’s recent military cooperative relationship are tighter than ever. The result of that relationship is that Vietnam has agreed to purchase six modern stealth destroyers.

With the purchase of these 6 stealth P28 destroyers, it would be the largest weapons buying contracts in the history of Vietnam’s army. But the information does not indicate the value of the contract, delivery times, etc.

Stealth destroyer P28 is extremely modern, armed with Barak missiles considered one of the most advanced missiles in the world. In addition, P28 also carry about 16 Brahmos cruise missiles, RBU-6000 anti-submarine bombs, SMERCH-2, along with the other weapons such as Oto Melara Super Rapid Gun 76 mm cannon system, 4 AK-630 close combat machine guns etc.

Besides, it is equipped with a multi-function radar reconnaissance system MF-STAR EL/M-2248 by IAI-Elta. designed for the 32 Barak anti-aircraft missiles which was developed in 2006, with the successful firing of the missile in Israel in November 2014. The 170 km Radar MF-STAR has the ability to simultaneously track multiple targets at the same time on the sea and can engage enemy aircraft at a distance of 350 km maximum.

In addition, the new ships are also equipped with radar for aerial reconnaissance of the IAI-Elta EL/M-2238 with S band range and aerial search radar Thales LW-08 D-band range.

With this, Vietnam's naval power will increase dramatically.

Can anyone confirm that P28 is destroyer and not corvette?
Anyway, it's confirmed almost.
Discussion on many forums.
Neutral on American, British, Russian and Chinese (but frustrated on pakistani forums. They get News of India before Indians).
India to Sell Warships to Vietnam, Increase Footprints in South China Sea

Delhi: India is all set to sell warships to Vietnam - a country locked in territorial with China.

Garden Reach Ship Builders and Engineers or GRSE - a Kolkata-based Defence Public Sector unit - will supply warships to Vietnam. This will be the second export of warships for India. It is already selling a patrol ship - Coast Guard Ship Barracuda - to Mauritius at a cost of Rs 350 crores.

(Meet the Barracuda - the First Warship India Will Export)

Besides, it is also in the race to export two light Frigates - about 3500 tons each at a total cost of Rs 2000 crore - to The Philippines.

The forays of the Indian Ship builder in the Indian Ocean and the disputed South China Sea are not mere commercial. The sale has strategic implications as well as the exports will spread Indian footprints across the region. Vietnam, the Philippines and four other countries are locked in a high decibel and international watched territorial dispute with China in the South China Sea. India has oil drilling blocks off the Coast of Vietnam and has ramped up military training including that of Submariners and Sukhoi-30 fighter pilots.

"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.

These patrol vessels will be about 35 meters in length, 10 meters broad and will have specialized Aluminum Hull. They will be used to patrol the waters close to the shore. Vietnam needs at least seven more such ships and GRSE is expected to get the order for the rest of the ships as well.

For the Philippines order, GRSE is competing with six foreign ship yards - Navantia, Spain, STX, France and Hyundai, Daewoo, and STX from Korea.

"We have been looking out to export ships for about a year and half, however under the Modi government there is more urgency and stress on exports," a senior GRSE officer told NDTV explaining fresh forays of the shipyard to foreign shores.

Philippines too is a country who can order but deal is yet to be finalized.
We have to compete with others yet.
