Following the visit of Sergei Shoigu, the head of the Pentagon arrives in Hanoi
The United States is now actively ramping up into Vietnam's "friends." They do this for geopolitical reasons, seeing the growing power of Vietnam’s great neighbor, China.
To some extent, we can say that the Americans are stepping on Russia’s heels. They are also interested in selling more weapons to Hanoi. Thus, they are trying to win Vietnam to their side in their already obvious rivalry with China.
Beijing, despite centuries-old “graters” with Vietnam on the disputed islands, wants to establish relations with Hanoi precisely so that Vietnam does not get too close to the United States and does not become an ally of the Americans against China.
It remains for us to recall with bitterness how we rode Camran!

Russia has no strength yet to actively climb into that region. But we can get our serious piece of military contracts

Is it necessary to actively climb there, given our relations with China? Russia, selling arms to these two countries, remains
neutral with all the "graters" of Vietnam and China on the disputed islands. Recently there were exercises of the Navy of Russia and China, in the near future they will be with Vietnam.
But for contracts and not only the military must fight!

Apparently the Russian government has the same opinion. There are many points where Russia can use its forces with no less benefit for the country. North Africa, Sudan, Central America, etc.

A solid boat .... just a dream for the Black Sea Fleet, instead of the helpless "doves of the world" 22160

[just exp]

Well, the aircraft carrier is even more powerful than the Cheetah, and the nuclear submarine Ash is more secretive.
and the Su-30 is faster.
maybe you will not compare the frigate with the RTOs?
it's like comparing a student with a graduate student.

22160 there was never an RTO, it is a patrol ship of the ocean zone ....... with almost the same tonnage (2000 and 2200) and almost similar tasks, it is completely defenseless ... no air defense, PLO

[just exp]

22160 there will still be less, from the air defense it is possible to put Calm-1 (and which xs which air defense system is on the Vietnamese, there may be a Wasp there), in the anti-aircraft defense it is better than the Cheetahs, and in terms of detection, because they have steeper GAS and HOOK, and they are UKKS who can shoot and PLUR, and what Cheetahs can only dream of.
Well, the anti-ship functions 22160 will be better.
so the cheetah is essentially something like Chinese frigates, they are built quickly, but the ships themselves are not so hot.
