Việt Nam People's Army turns 80: Building a strong, modern military

Beyond its military contributions, the defence industry has also supported Việt Nam’s broader industrialisation and modernisation goals.The Air Defence-Air Force (ADAF) has been equipped with new-generation fighter jets, such as Su-30MK2. However, mastering advanced aircraft requires thorough training, particularly in managing in-flight emergencies. This ensures young pilots can quickly adapt to new equipment while minimising the number of flight hours required for training and combat readiness on real fighter jets.To address these challenges, Vietnamese defence engineers have developed an advanced flight simulator for the Su-30MK2 fighter jet.During a recent training session using the simulator, young pilots from the 927th Air Regiment under the ADAF faced a simulated scenario where the engine fire warning light illuminated shortly after take-off. The cockpit alarm was followed by instructions from ground control on extinguishing the in-flight fire and executing an emergency landing.Thanks to their training and coordination, the Su-30MK2 safely landed despite operating with only one functional engine.These emergency scenarios, critical for combat readiness, are made possible by the advanced flight simulator entirely developed by Việt Nam’s defence industry.Lieutenant Colonel Lê Ngọc Hải of the 927th Regiment highlighted the simulator’s value, saying, "The simulator shortens the time required for pilots to practise real flights, saving flight hours while still meeting mission requirements during combat readiness and training with advanced weapon systems."Unlike the Russian-designed simulators, which feature a single cockpit for two pilots, Vietnamese engineers have created a training centre equipped with 12 flight simulators and a ground control station. This setup replicates the structure of a fighter jet regiment, providing an environment for pilots to refine their skills and facilitating complex air combat simulations.According to the regiment’s officers, the Vietnamese-developed simulator allows regular practice for take-offs, landings, and emergency situations. It also enhances coordination among flight teams and ground control crews, offering capabilities that the Russian simulators lack.One of the simulator's key advantages is its full localisation in Vietnamese, making it easier for pilots and technicians to operate.Lt Col&nbsp;Trần Xuân Quyền, head of the flight simulation team, explained, "The system’s operations, from creating flight scenarios to controlling aircraft parameters and weather conditions, can be set up quickly and intuitively. This simplifies the process compared to the Russian system."After five years of research, Việt Nam’s defence engineers developed the Su-30MK2 flight simulator with superior features compared to the original Russian product. This achievement makes Việt Nam the second country in the world, after Sukhoi, to successfully design and develop a simulator for the fourth-generation Su-30MK2 fighter jet.Notably, the simulator is the only one globally that enables simultaneous training for both pilots and ground control personnel within the same scenario.National Defence Minister General Phan Văn Giang praised this accomplishment, saying, "We are demonstrating to the world that the Việt Nam People’s Army is a combat force, a working force, and a labour force. Our national defence industry is advancing towards self-reliance, dual-use capabilities, and modernisation."Building a modern defence industry<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2024/12/19/394814_vna_potal_xay_dung_hai_quan_nhan_dan_tinh_gon_manh_san_sang_bao_ve_vung_chac_chu_quyen_bien_dao_cua_to_quoc_7521638.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Ship 360, Brigade 172 leaves port to carry out a mission.&nbsp; Photo courtesy of the Naval Force of Việt Nam</td></tr></tbody></table></figure>According to Col Nguyễn Phúc Linh, director of the Institute of Weapons under the Ministry of National Defence, developing new-generation defence weapons requires a high level of scientific expertise. Many components of defence technology involve intricate research and precision manufacturing, supported by substantial investments in advanced testing and production technology.Lt Gen Hồ Quang Tuấn, chief of the General Department of National Defence Industry, said that the development of Việt Nam’s defence industry is a strategic initiative guided by the Communist Party, the State, the Central Military Commission, and the Ministry of National Defence.Since the ninth National Congress of the Party in April 2001, Việt Nam has prioritised building a modern, self-reliant, and dual-use national defence industry. The 13th National Congress of the Party in February 2021 further outlined the need to "develop a modern, dual-use national defence industry that serves both national security and socioeconomic development".On January 26, 2022, the Politburo issued Resolution 8&nbsp;for the military to accelerate national defence industry development by 2030 and beyond. The plan envisions creating a self-reliant, modern defence sector capable of mastering advanced technologies to meet the needs of a modern military and safeguard the country.<figure class="table"><table><tbody><tr><td><figure class="image"><img src="https://image.vietnamnews.vn/uploadvnnews/Article/2024/12/19/394817_vna_potal_xay_dung_hai_quan_nhan_dan_tinh_gon_manh_san_sang_bao_ve_vung_chac_chu_quyen_bien_dao_cua_to_quoc_7521643.jpg" alt=""></figure></td></tr><tr><td>Soldiers at the combat readiness training at Coastal Missile Brigade 681, Naval Region 2.

Việt Nam has made significant progress in the research, design, production, and repair of weapons and equipment, including new-generation firearms, guided weapons, and modern navy ships.Additionally, the defence industry has developed technical materials and supplies to reduce dependence on imports, contributing to Việt Nam’s industrialisation and modernisation.Việt Nam’s international cooperation in the defence sector has also expanded, enhancing its global reputation and military power. This cooperation includes technology transfers, joint ventures, and collaborations in developing weapon prototypes.Lt Gen Tuấn stressed the importance of mastering the design, technology, and manufacturing of advanced weaponry to build a modern defence industry."We must focus on developing high-tech weaponry, smart systems, and strategic armaments to equip our forces for future challenges," he said.Achieving these goals requires strong political will and coordinated efforts, particularly in three key areas: scientific and technological capabilities, institutional frameworks, and human resources.Defence and civilian needsCol Phan Thị Hoài Vân, deputy chief of Staff of the General Department of National Defence Industry, highlighted the importance of dual-use technology."The defence industry can produce military&nbsp;as well as&nbsp;civilian goods," she said. "Most countries prioritise dual-use technologies to accelerate innovation in defence while promoting industrial and economic development."By adopting a dual-use approach, Việt Nam’s defence industry can optimise its internal strengths and address both national security and economic needs. This strategy helps reduce dependency, diversify technology acquisition, and create flexibility in achieving strategic goals.Lt Gen Tuấn emphasised the need for Việt Nam to participate in global value chains, focusing initially on economic and dual-use products. "We must leverage our strengths to develop competitive products for domestic and international markets while prioritising export production that complies with legal regulations," he said.Efforts should also include technology transfer, joint ventures, training cooperation, and branding military and dual-use products for export. Strategic planning and promotion of international partnerships would be essential for achieving these objectives, he said.Integrating defence into broader economic strategies ensures that Việt Nam’s&nbsp;defence industry remains a crucial driver of both security and industrial progress, contributing to the country’s long-term development goals.&nbsp; VNS

General Phan Văn Giang said “We are demonstrating to the world that the Việt Nam People’s Army is a combat force, a working force and a labour force. Our national defence industry is advancing towards self-reliance, self-strengthening, dual-use and modernisation.”

He affirmed that Việt Nam always attaches importance to and wants to boost and deepen the Strategic Partnership with Singapore in a more robust, substantive, and effective manner.He suggested strengthening cooperation between the CPV and the PAP, saying that relevant agencies of the two nations need closely coordinate to build strategies and plans for cooperation in areas such as digital transformation and renewable energy, aiming to create significant breakthroughs to meet the demands and development goals of the new era.He also proposed boosting financial and tourism cooperation, and people-to-people exchanges; as well as expanding defence and security cooperation, including the establishment of a national population data centre and the integration of digital platforms such as SingPass and VNeID, which are actively being studied by both sides to facilitate entry and exit for citizens of the two countries.For his part, Wong concurred with Lâm's proposals regarding orientations for stepping up bilateral cooperation in the coming time, saying that Singaporean businesses are eager to expand their investment and business activities in Việt Nam, especially in new sectors such as renewable energy development, carbon credit trading, and developing new-generation Việt Nam–Singapore industrial parks (VSIPs) with a focus on hi-tech industries, clean energy, semiconductor production, and artificial intelligence (AI) - aligning with the developmental trends and priorities of both nations and supporting the common goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.The two leaders expressed their satisfaction with the strong and comprehensive development of bilateral cooperation over the past 50 years since the establishment of diplomatic ties and more than 10 years of the Strategic Partnership. They affirmed that the network of 18 VSIPs in Việt Nam stands as a symbol of successful cooperation between the two nations.Việt Nam and Singapore have been actively advancing the Digital Economy - Green Economy Partnership - an important cooperation area that facilitates the transformation of both economies toward new potential fields such as digital economy, green economy and circular economy, innovation, clean energy, and responding to climate change.They agreed on the importance of enhancing coordination between the two countries within ASEAN and other regional and international forums to contribute positively to the group's resilience, prosperity and sustainable development, and promoting its central role in the region.The two sides also agreed to assign relevant agencies from both nations to promptly finalise the contents, towards elevating bilateral relations to a new height.On this occasion, Wong invited the Vietnamese Party chief and his spouse to pay an official visit to Singapore at a convenient time in 2025.
