Re: ASEAN military news
6 Kilos IMHO would cause a slight shift in the balance of naval power in the SEA region! There could be a mini arms race going on there in terms of naval acquisition! I wonder what the neighboring countries think of this major acquisition for such a country not known to have much of a naval power!

Re: ASEAN military news
I imagine Vietnam is determined to not allow that to happen again.
So, the PLAN will be forced to take note and be very wary of a Vietnamese sub surface threat in the future.
As to others, it is certainly also a message to others with disputes with Vietnam...but I think the principle message is to the PLAN.
Well, The PLAN and Vietnam have actually had armed clashes in the South China Sea before (1974-Paracel Islands and 1988-Johnson South Reef), and Vietnam came out on the short end of the stick.

Re: ASEAN military news
no doubt about it Jeff. Just a few super quite subs in the shallow waters near Vietnam will pretty much preclude any major ships from going anywhere near it. What's ironic is PLAN's Yulin Naval base is just right around the corner.
Anyway in a real no holds barred conflict however Vietnam has the unfortunate geographic location next to China. They would and should be a LOT more worried about PLA and PLAAF than PLAN.

Re: ASEAN military news
They are however addressing the maritime side of the island disputes. In the past, the PLAN has been able to operate with virtual impunity in that regard and has simply swatted aside any Vietnam contention on the sea.
That will not be so easy in the future. Any serious confrontation now would require the PLAN to send its own subs into the area and try and neutrailize the Vietnam subs. Such a confrontation would be a huge escalation and could result in the loss of very major assets to either or both sides.
Oh yes, no doubt about that in the broader context.

Just let me starting with recent and fresh news about Military of Indonesia
Sorry in Bahasa, because almost of our procurement and military related news written in Bahasa.
In this news, Indonesian Marines Corps will receive brand new 54 units of BMP 3F from Russia in 2014 as part of PT 76 replacement. Indonesian Marine Corps too will accept 4 unit BTR 4 as test vehicle from Ukraine, before deciding what is good for them as replacement for their hundreds strong fleet of old BTR 50 amphibious armored carrier. Indonesia Marines Corps too still considering to purchase about three Battalion Strong 122 mm MLRS either from Chech , Russia or China to support about three Pasmar/Pasukan Marinir (One Pasukan Marinir, has the same strength of Division about 15000 combat personnel), but everything will be settled before 2014 elections .
