Vietnam acquires land attack missiles for its submarines. Vietnam is set to operate 50 Russian-made submarine-based land attack missiles that are capable of striking the Chinese mainland as well as Chinese ports and other facilities in the South China Sea, according to an April 30 Reuters report. Vietnam expert Carl Thayer said the purchase signaled a “massive shift” in Vietnam’s deterrence tactics. The new missiles, 28 of which have been delivered over the past two years, will bolster the threat of Vietnam’s new fleet of Kilo-class submarines.

PREFACE

BTO – Viet Nam has more than 3,000 coastal islands and two offshore archipelagoes, namely Hoang Sa archipelago and Truong Sa archipelago. The closest point of Hoang Sa archipelago is 120 nautical miles from the east of Quang Ngai. Meanwhile, the closest point of Truong Sa archipelago is about 250 nautical miles to the east of Cam Ranh Bay, Nha Trang city, Khanh Hoa province.

These two archipelagoes are the inseparable part of Viet Nam’s territory. The State of Viet Nam has already exercised the sovereignty over the two archipelagoes for hundred of years. The sovereignty of Viet Nam over Hoang Sa and Truong Sa archipelagoes is in full accordance with international law and supported by numerous legal and historical evidences.
