The Voice of China “News” reported recently, Rosoboronexport delegation 谢尔盖科尔涅夫 at the “Paris – Le Bourget International Aerospace Exhibition “, said Russia has begun to implement supply to Vietnam multifunctional fighter Su-30MK2 contract, the first four aircraft have been sent to Vietnam.

worth noting that the Vietnamese military expansion in recent years on the frequency of action. Of the most notable is Russia, Vietnam will buy 20 Su-30MK2 fighters and six Russian “Kilo” class submarines. Meanwhile, Vietnam’s defense budget is also speeding. According to foreign media reports, Vietnamese Defense Minister Phung Quang Thanh said recently, the Vietnamese defense budget for 2011 has actually reached 26 billion U.S. dollars, increased 70 percent over the previous year.

in the face of economic inflation, foreign exchange shortage and other issues at the same time, Vietnam has invested in the military spend much more on what purpose? And it’s generous efforts to expand these weapons, and what unknown power? Last night, the news editor on duty vertical and horizontal high Xiaoxiao interviewed Air Force Command College Professor Chen Hong, he told us about the Su-30MK2 fighter performance characteristics.

Chen Hong: It is actually 俄罗斯苏克伊 an aircraft design bureau developed the world’s first third-generation fighters. This fighter is a fighter-bomber, the aircraft performance is very good, it’s combat radius of more than 1,000 kilometers, the maximum amount of payload it can reach 8 tons. Although it is versatile, but this is mainly on the ground aircraft design and sea point targets of attack aircraft, the aircraft should be said is a true third-generation fighter and the U.S. F15, F16 or F15E are a weapon platform.

then, the international air forces from the current point of view, the Vietnamese Air Force in what kind of power level? Air Force Command College Professor Chen Hong believes that the Vietnamese can only be considered middle class.

Chen Hong: Vietnamese Air Force, or a middle-or lower-middle of a military branch, the Vietnamese Air Force was formed in September 1956, the existing troops also less than 2 million people, compiled into three different types of aviation division, a flight school, it really has 500 aircraft equipped, of which more than 300 combat aircraft will stand less than 400 in all of these transport aircraft, bombers and combat aircraft which, it is equipped with the most what? Is the MiG-21 fighters, about 200 aircraft. There is a number of Su-27 fighters, about 10 a few frames, it is equipped with 20 Su-30MK aircraft, which will definitely enhance the combat capability, but the combat aircraft in use and programming, in other co-operation in the aircraft, there will be many questions need to study.

the purchase of Su-30MK2 fighters, air power in Vietnam will be how to enhance it? National Defense University, Professor Li Li introduced believe that this partial change is difficult to fundamentally change the status of the Vietnamese Air Force.

Li Li: even if he the 20 Su-30MK2 to get after all, it is difficult to completely change the fundamental meaning of the Vietnamese Air Force, the current status quo, that is, he is still the second generation as the main , with part of the three generations of machines, then the result of a more old-fashioned hard to say because of local changes to be fundamental change. In the current international situation, if a country lacks the ability to self-developed source of all hope or faith in the purchase of weapons and equipment from abroad, it is clear he is not such a reliable source, and it is difficult to continue the long-term maintenance .
