What about Vietnam s military strength? How far can you rank in the world?

What is Vietnam's defense strength? I specifically asked a Chinese friend from Vietnam. He served in the Vietnamese Navy for three years.

The military strength of the Vietnamese army is much clearer than what I found online. With the help of the Eastern Bloc, Vietnam once defeated France and the United States After the end of the Vietnam War, the strength of the army was okay, otherwise it would not have arrogantly shouted the slogan of "the third military power in the world" In the 70s and 80s of the 20th century, when Vietnam's military strength reached its peak, it tried to wrestle with the eastern powers. As a result, it was almost taken in Hanoi, and the hammer was honest for 30 years However, the tenacity and cunning of the Vietnamese army at that time were still impressive.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Vietnam lost its backing. The development of domestic heavy industry and military industry is slow, and the pace of renewal is getting slower and slower. Later, the pace of economic development did not keep up with Vietnam is no longer the number one military power in Southeast Asia, and it is only between 20 and 30 in the global military ranking.

The Most Critical Reason Affecting the Combat Effectiveness of the Vietnamese Army Is the Army's Doing Business Vietnam's economic growth has been very rapid in recent years, with an annual GDP of more than $200 billion. But 10% of Vietnam's GDP, or $20 billion, is contributed by the Vietnamese military, which spends only about $5 billion a year. The army does not need to be supported by the state, but also needs to earn money to support the country.

This is the only one in the world.

The Vietnamese army has its own communications company, its own ports, docks, energy companies, real estate companies. As long as they can make money, the Vietnamese army basically does this, and the soldiers are often responsible for transporting supplies My friend is in the navy, and his monthly allowance is only a few hundred yuan, and a few thousand yuan outside.

Former Chinese Defense Minister Zhang Aiping once said: Doing business between the military and the government will inevitably lead to the downfall of the military, and the downfall of the military will inevitably lead to corruption Buying and selling military uniforms is a shame for the army and a sorrow for the country Advocating the army to do business is tantamount to destroying the Great Wall Military affairs will breed corruption to a certain extent, undermine military morale, and weaken the army's ability to perform its duties and combat effectiveness The current Vietnamese army is very likely to be like the Japanese Sakata Division during World War II, which only wants to make money and does not want to fight.

However, Vietnam's military explosiveness is still very large. With 490,000 standing troops, the strength is the largest in Southeast Asia The United States and Japan see Vietnam as a pawn in the regional game and have been encouraging Vietnam to increase military spending and develop national defense Vietnam's defense budget increased from $1.3 billion in 2006 to $5.1 billion in 2018.

In the past decade, Vietnam's imports ranked eighth in the world, the United States lifted the embargo on Vietnam, and Russia has also increased its advanced sales to Vietnam. The current equipment of the Vietnamese army has been replaced by guns, and the old-fashioned equipment has been completely eliminated The "Kilo"-class submarines, "Cheetah" frigates, Su-27, Su-30 fighters, and T-90S tanks are all equipped with Vietnamese front-line troops.

Objectively speaking, Vietnam's military strength does not have the ability to lay out the world at all, but it can still show its strength in Southeast Asia Vietnam has always insisted that it does not matter whether the war ends immediately or continues to drag on. What we have to do is wait until the harvest is time.

Vietnam has a large number of armies, the active army is nearly 500,000 people, and more than 3 million reserve troops can also be called up in the war, but they are still somewhat backward in terms of military production, their navy can only produce some small tonnage ships, the air force has an anti-missile system, the air force has MiG-21, Su-22, Su-27, and the army has 420,000 people, divided into 8 military regions, 4 mechanized infantry divisions, and 10 armored brigades. Vietnam's military strength can be ranked around twelfth, but it is certainly far from ours.

Vietnam's military strength is not comparable to that of China and other major countries, but it can rank second in the military status of the Southeast Asian half of the region, and its military status in the international region can rank 23rd, which is higher than Poland, Saudi Arabia and other countries.

At present, the new wave of military reform has been comprehensive, and Vietnam's combat experience in history is no longer sufficient to support its combat effectiveness, and the innovation and upgrading of equipment and the improvement of the quality of fighters have become the core of combat effectiveness, and Vietnam has obviously not done enough in this regard. On the whole, Vietnam's military strength is not ranked first in Southeast Asia, and it is even more than 30 in the world!

Vietnam's military strength is relatively average, and the equipment used is relatively old. It can be ranked 23rd in the world.

India is the strongest, Vietnam is second, and Japan is the worst. Because of World War II.

After Japan's defeat in World War II, the agreement stipulated that it was not allowed to develop military strength, so Japan now has no military strength. But once developed, Japan is the strongest, because Japan has money, technology, and talent.

Japan is the first, India is the second, Vietnam is the worst! Japan has the world's newest and most advanced conventional submarine combat force, as well as newer and fastest surface naval equipment, as well as an air force and army. They are all technically effective combat forces, but they have no strategic strength.

India is the largest country in South Asia and the most militarily powerful. However, its own scientific research is not good, and it is impossible to independently develop first-class equipment. Most of the imported equipment has greatly reduced its ability to support combat operations in wartime.

It's just that India is a nuclear power and can carry out certain strategic attacks, which is also an important way for India to clamor against China. Vietnam's military strength has also developed greatly in recent years, and Naizao digging is mainly due to the purchase of Russian Kilo-class submarines.

and Su-27 fighters, but their combat capabilities cannot be compared with their two countries! It is impossible to pose a substantial threat to China!

It must be Vietnam. Just look at its economy. Japan ranked first and India ranked second.

Japan. Japan is the first, India is the second, and Vietnam is the third.

The ranking of international military strength cannot be registered. At the end of the Vietnam-US War, Vietnam's self-confidence was greatly inflated, and it became known as the "third military power in the world", and thus began its "Indochina Federation" project.

As early as during the War to Resist US Aggression and Salvation of the Nation, Vietnam sent a large number of troops into Laos in the name of "aid" and "defense." After the War to Resist US Aggression and Salvation of the Nation, not only did it not withdraw its troops, but on the contrary, under the pretext of "assisting in maintaining border security" and "defending the rear of Laos," it increased its troops in Laos in large quantities and exercised military control. In 1977, Vietnam forced the Lao authorities to sign the so-called "Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation" and the border agreement, which not only annexed a large area of Lao territory along the Lao border, but also exerted strict political influence on Laos, and carried out economic plundering of Laos in the name of "assistance" and "cooperation".

The "Federation of the Democratic Republic of Indochina", which the Vietnamese rulers dreamed of, is really close to being realized. At that time, the population of Cambodia, which was sparsely populated and warm and humid, was only 6 million, and the population of Laos was even less than 3 million, while the population of Vietnam had reached 60 million after the reunification of the north and south at that time, and the Kinh people accounted for 90%, and it can be reasonably concluded that 30 years later, when Vietnamese immigrants have occupied Cambodia and Laos, the two small countries of Cambodia and Laos will be thoroughly digested and absorbed by Vietnam, with an area of 700,000 square kilometers (basically rich, warm, An area suitable for human habitation, of excellent quality), a large country with a population of nearly 100 million is about to rise in Indochina.

It was under these circumstances that China's self-defense counterattack against Vietnam broke out. In order to completely smash Vietnam's territorial federation plan and support Cambodia's self-defense struggle, China began a "self-defense counterattack against Vietnam" in the name of Vietnam's constant attacks on China's borders.

It once claimed to be the third military power in the world, although this is nonsense, but in the generation of Southeast Asia, the strength is still the first, and after the battle with us, through various means, it has obtained Chinese land such as Laoshan, Faka Mountain, Yinshan, and Bailongwei Island. Desert is also the largest in Vietnam.

24 Maozi shrinkage Su-27s, as well as 4 Kilo, several poisonous spider missile boats, several S300 anti-aircraft missiles, about 100, which is stronger than the small countries of Latin Africa.

Vietnam's current national defense strength is actually not so prominent, not strong, because a small country with a population of 90 million still has to spend the economy to buy military equipment to arm 480,000 soldiers. From this aspect, we can see the level of equipment training in Vietnam, but Vietnam has experienced so many wars, and their actual combat level is also in a relatively high priority position in Southeast Asia.

In the last century, Vietnam defeated the United States, and at that time Vietnam's military power rose to the first place in Southeast Asia. is a very strong country that often has border conflicts with other countries. However, with the development of the country and the progress of the times, Vietnam's traditional mode of warfare can no longer adapt to the pattern of the world

With the improvement and upgrading of equipment, Vietnam's ranking has reached the bottom of 30.

A large part of a country's military strength is solved by the economy, only if your economy is better, you will have the opportunity to buy good ** and equipment, although the investment in the economy may not necessarily become stronger, but not invested will be weak. Vietnam's economic strength has always been at the low level in Southeast Asia.

This is what led to the fact that Vietnam's military strength was weak and did not keep up. Some of Vietnam's equipment is still used by other countries, so how can a former war-torn country be at the forefront. Some tattered ** Vietnam is also reluctant to throw away, Vietnam's naval forces can still be said to be reasonable, although the economic strength is very poor, but Vietnam has spent all its funds on the training of the naval corps, after all, it is a coastal country

In this respect, although Vietnam has a slight advantage, on the whole, Vietnam's national defense strength is still relatively backward.

Vietnam's economic strength and national defense strength can be said to be at the bottom.

Vietnam's national defense strength is okay, but depending on which country it compares with, it ranks after 30 in the world.

Vietnam's current military power is developing quite well, after ranking 30 in the world.

Vietnam's defense strength is very poor, ranking in the middle and lower reaches of the world.

The national defense force is not so prominent, it is not very strong.

Vietnam's defense strength is actually quite good, but it is not well ranked.

Vietnam's defense power ranks much further in the world.

People are now taking the democratic line and becoming more and more powerful.

They have experienced the Vietnam War, so they should have a very good ranking for their comparative emphasis on military development.

Vietnam can't do it in all respects, just let the scoundrels do!

He often kicks his feet at the monkey's eggs.

The Guangzhou Military Region + the South China Sea Fleet can sweep through Vietnam + the Philippines.

The Guangzhou Military Region + Chengdu Military Region + South China Sea Fleet is enough to sweep across the Indochina Peninsula.

I've asked people about this question before.

Taiwan is certainly far superior to Vietnam, I just read a document two days ago, Vietnam's regular army is more than 500,000 people, the army is 10,000, the Vietnamese army's equipment is mainly for the 60-70s of the last century China aid to Vietnam, there are almost no new equipment, the air force is basically zero, the navy is only 10,000 people, including 30,000 marines.

There are no combat submarines, and most of the surface ships are old-fashioned equipment, with a total tonnage of 10,000 tons. On the other hand, Taiwan's army has 10,000 troops, but its equipment is basically all modern equipment (with US assistance), and its combat effectiveness is stronger than that of the Vietnamese Army and the Taiwan Air Force.

Needless to say, it is far superior to Vietnam, the Taiwan Air Force has 480 combat aircraft, the United States F16 alone accounts for about one-third, the Vietnamese Air Force has only 280 combat aircraft, half of which are the Soviet MiG-21, and the F16 belongs to the third generation aircraft.

The MiG-21 belongs to the second-generation aircraft, and the judgment is high. Taiwan Navy.

The Taiwan Navy has two combat submarines, and the total tonnage of surface ships is 210,000 tons, which is four times that of the Vietnamese Navy.

With sea supremacy, only the army has a big disadvantage, but it is only an inferiority in the number of personnel, and the equipment is superior. But in a war, if one side has absolute air and sea supremacy, then it can win the war even without relying on the army (except for the PLA, which has created a miracle), Taiwan's military strength is at the second-rate level in Asia, and Vietnam is in Southeast Asia.

All belong to the second-rate level, as we all know, the first-class level in Southeast Asia is garbage in Asia, not to mention the second-rate level, on the whole, Vietnam is also an Asian fourth-rate to fifth-rate such a level, a second-rate, a fourth-rate to fifth-rate, the landlord should have a number in his heart.

That must be a little stronger in Taiwan.

Of course, Taiwan will not lose, because it is China's Taiwan.

Introduction to the Vietnamese military force:

The active force of the Vietnamese armed forces is about 10,000 people. At present, the army adopts a combination of regional deployment and mobile deployment, and the country is divided into eight regions from north to south, with one military region deployed in each region. The deployment of field troops for strategic mobile combat missions is to be divided into half in the north and half in the south.

The total strength is about 420,000. It is divided into 8 military regions and 2 special regions, with 14 military headquarters, 58 infantry divisions, 4 mechanized infantry divisions, 10 armored brigades, 15 independent infantry regiments, several special operations units, about 10 field artillery brigades, 8 engineering divisions, 10-16 economic construction divisions, and 20 independent engineering brigades.
