“If this deal is signed, the Orion aircraft will be removed from storage in the desert and equipped with new wings, equipment and weapons. The cost of one aircraft can range from 80 to 90 million. US dollars, “- says the resource. Such were the prices for the updated "Orions" set by Taiwan.

Modernization of the P-3 is being carried out at the Lockheed office in Georgia.

The crumbs are picked up from the suzerain table. The Vietnamese are degrading. They just fought with the Yankees themselves, using Soviet-made best weapons at the time, and now they are preparing for the role of mongrels and gratefully accept their older brother’s well-worn pants.

For what the United States did in Vietnam .. They should (give one machine and kneel ..), but Vietnam is not Israel ....

That's what I understand the sale of BU. How much did this Orion "from scratch" cost ??

No matter what they say, the United States needs to learn how to carefully store military equipment - they’ll disturb you from the storage base in the desert, and pay a little money in your pocket.

out of the desert storage base

The desert is an ideal place to store equipment, almost constant annual temperatures, low humidity.

These Shtatniks are famous tricks. They make museums out of battleships, but keep them in such a state that they repair a little and the ship is ready for battle. The status of the museum brings them money and the ships cannot be dismantled.

Sorry, but you write nonsense. You still cite the cruiser Aurora as an example of a "mothballed" ship. In order to keep the ship machines in working order, it is necessary to start them up and turn the shafts at least once a month. In their current form, American battleships are simply piles of metal of historical value.
American battleships like "Iowa"

I agree, this cannot be taken away from them. I'm talking about something else, about the price. The cost of the "zero" device is interesting ...

[donavi49]

Do they have other options ??? Only the European crafts of Watermelon (CN-235 / С-295 in the patrol and PLO version), but Orion with Poseidon. There is nothing else on the market. And cheaper.

They need PLO aircraft and they saved up money for the European version (especially since they already have C-295). But now, against the backdrop of warming, they ordered AWACS from Arbuz to save money, and the accumulated money will go to Orions.

That is, for Viet, this is a very good deal. Receive and AWACS and PLO / Patrolnik.

a little more, and I’ll say: I’m not sorry for Vietnam ... and Afghan, and Libya and other stupid cutters, they apparently live according to the principle of "beats, then loves" is amazing ... "Stockholm syndrome" turns out to be really working ... to learn from this, the attraction of "unheard-of generosity" must stop, in the morning money, in the evening, chairs, just like that.

[Blondy]

I wouldn’t water the Vietnamese so much until I answer the question: can Russia put the necessary things in the near future? Maybe that's why they are bought from amers, because we don’t have such free ones for sale, and indeed, anti-submarine aircraft, we still can’t boast of sufficient numbers.

FMS is no more, everything was transferred to the Ministry of Internal Affairs. On arrival, register as a political refugee. The case is muddy, but real, again you can break through in transit to the Donbass. But if you really do not want to run and decided to go to court, they will put you in prison.

Unlike our Il-38 and Tu-142, the Orions were regularly upgraded.
Our first serial IL-38N was commissioned in the summer of 2014. Prior to this, our PLO vehicles froze at the level of the late 80s of the last century.

And most importantly, we do not have such a stock of more or less unused Il-38s. The very few - only 65 of them were made (an order of magnitude less than the Lockheed "Orions").
And the mass production of the IL-38 has long been discontinued - even under the Lena-Brovenosets.

[Ruzina Natalia]

This is called: "On you, God, that doesn't suit me." After all, it doesn't matter what to shove, just to push the Russians away.

This is Vietnam, not the Philippines. Here the customer decides. And if he is ready to buy "Orions" - then they are really the best available for him.

There will be a reasonable alternative on our part - the Vietnamese will consider it.

Vladimir, and a resource? about one for export gives two home. you must do it from scratch. Are you sure of the strength of the Orion resource from storage?

What are you talking about? Tu-142 is Tu-95, when was the last glider made? How much does it cost to resume production? IL-38 (IL-18) how many do not? How much does it cost to resume production? And how long will it take? Does Vietnam agree to wait if he needs airplanes yesterday? We do not have modern PLO aircraft.

Quote: newbie

Am I serving a US storage base? What can I be sure of? I am sure that we have nothing to offer Vietnam. ourselves are missing.

[newcomer]

Vladimir, in this case, we missed. when you need to do something, we have an excuse: when was it ?! in this case, we will yawn and shout. the Yankees put them on a needle. we are unlikely to remove them from there already.

[donavi49]

The flies now in the market choose:
1) Transport workers, they have 3 C-295 (one of them is being remade in AWACS), and 10-12 boards are voiced. Used Hercules may well be ordered.
2) Patrol ships - which are borderline. They have been choosing for two years already, even the Australian watched.
3) PLO / patrolmen - well, here is the used Orion favorite.
4) Tanks - but there was news about the T-90MS. In general, this is a long-playing one, they will still choose 1,5-2 of the year.

As for the needle, during Obama's visit, they ordered Boeings for 11 billion dollars:
Boeing (BA) Scores $ 11.3B Order For 100 B737Max200 Airplanes From Vietnam's VietJet Air

Plus, American companies open production in Vietnam, even Intel is already there and is increasing the production of processors.

And how will this junk help Vietnam respond to China's growing military power? Dark and incomprehensible.

And if the stripes get something there, then there will be a good scout, and the information will go to yourself and the striped. Lyapota, and even for my money.

Do we have them, ILs and TUs in the version of PLO and AWACS? For conservation, for example? And when did the same Ilov and TU stop production? And how much time does it take to restore production? How many stands and is it necessary to restore the production of precisely these machines?

IL-38 was built 65 sides. Now 51 vehicles remain in service. The Americans built 650 cars. Plus the Japanese 107. Total 757. So you can understand the Vietnamese. They buy from the one who sells. We cannot sell them

I beg you, moderate the dust of your anger. And be objective in your opinions. The logic “if you buy goods from my enemy means you are bad” is at least primitive.
Vietnam is on the side of Russia in matters of Ukraine, Europe and Syria and wishes the United States to be defeated on these fronts. The Vietnamese remember the help of the USSR in the war against the United States and now treat Russia with gratitude. However, at the same time, the Vietnamese are well aware that if there is a war with China, Russia can no longer help. And the United States can. At least a weapon. We will not buy anything horrible, but selectively, deliberately. And here is some advantage of American weapons - the Chinese do not know its characteristics. And the Chinese know about our Su-30MKV2, S-300 and Varshavyanka submarines no worse than ourselves.
