The Gepard Frigates are nice vessels.

Vietnam already has two of the ASuW centric versions in service, each with a eight Switchblade ASMs, a Kashtan close in anti-air system and the 76mm DP gun. They have two more building that will be ASW centric, and another two more ordered after that. Six Gepard frigates will be a very respectful, modern surface force for Vietnam.

Whan you add to it these new Kilos, Vietnam is going to have acrdible force in the SCS to defend its interests.

There's a certain amount of irony in word that Canada is selling new military helicopters to the Philippines when it's in its third decade of trying to procure replacements for the navy's ancient Sea Kings.Postmedia News reports the sprawling Pacific island nation will spend more than $100 million to buy eight Bell 412 helicopters from Canadian Commercial Corporation, a federal Crown corporation that helps industry with government-to-government business.The purchase, along with the purchase of 12 Korean-built jet fighter-trainers for $420 million, is part of a program to bolster the Philippine military against growing Chinese pressure in the South China Sea.

Re: ASEAN military news

The Jets they just bought are T-50's that means The Philippine Air Force will actually have a fighter fleet.
