shershen torpedo boat firing it 533mm torpedo , most of shershen ship in the navy been decommission and transfer to coast guard which used it briefly ( main ship of the coast guard in early day 2000s befor domestic coast guard boat replacing them ( I think all the coast guard shershen were scrap after tt domestic boat start to deliver to the coast guard ( tt120-200a/b-400 ) , from some source there current 55 shershen left in the navy , this torpedo boat will still have it used in the ha long bay where there are numerous of islands . photo source THHQ
general check a 105mm gun on a M548 and it crew befor a exercise source qdnd
a spg 9 gun team moving forward in the exercise
a pt76 with inf and spg9 gun team advancing
the pt76 with it green olive camo and tree branch is pretty well blend in with the back ground , no wonder alot of tank brigade still keep using it after playing around with other camo
the exercise is in southern Vietnam the tree in the back ground only can be found in southern Vietnam in the mekong delta near cambodia bordersome kind of palm if I remember correct
border guard patrolling in ha giang province source qdnd ( btw like I say many tourist when visit Vietnam during winter from central up north didn't know we have winter cause all they know about Vietnam is Vietnam war movie it all hot and humid , it true if you are in southern Vietnam and in Mekong delta which hot year around , but not in the central and northern part where we have 4 season and they tend to wear summer cloth and have to rush to mall or street cloth store to buy winter cloth ) ( also few day after this photo the temp drop to negative 4 degree and the snow was quite thick but still cant compare to few year ago when some mountain ( 800m height ) in ha noi start to have snow which is super rare cause last time a record of ha noi having snow was back in 1400s during le dynasty period where the lake are frozen and there are snow , now day you only can find snow in border along china and some mountain , plus the border near yunan-Laotian and from time to time some mountain in north central part Vietnam also get snow but It rare compare to northern border which snow every year )
return to civilian life after 2 year of service , Vietnam is one of few country in asia still have conscript service ( beside Singapore/korea) with a small gift from the army for the tet nguyen dan ( lunar new year ) source qdnd
border guard base along china-Vietnam border ( you can see the stone marker and the newly made fence dual to covid and on other side a Chinese border guard building , seem like a small crossing point for ethnic minority pre covid period )
border guard and local militia patrolling the border , at you know tet is closing ( lunar new year ) and like in china people in Vietnam will return to they town / village /city of them , so the border guard are being patrol more offend and more guard are being send to the border to catch illegal Vietnamese and non Vietnamese to ensure we wont have a new out brake befor our new year .

mil171(or172e ? ) during a supply flight to a village in mountain zone which get cut off by landslide during last year continue of typhoon hiting the central region ( one after another , btw it not normal to have that much typhoon and that big , creat a huge flood ( the biggest since 1960s if I remember correct , it also creat flood in Philippine cause both country get hit by typhoon after typhoon in a short period , climate changing is real )
this guy are militia ( if direct translate will be people(dan) self defense(tu ve ) force ( quan ) in Vietnamese it will be dan quoc te ve or DQTV , haven't seen m1 firing video , most of the militia used m16 and sks/ak and there are tons of video firing them , so I think the m1 are just dry training to teach them how to used the gun in case there isn't enough m16 or ak/sks if thing happened , btw you can firing a m1 at cu chi gun range if you ever visit Vietnam and visit cu chi tunnel ( but the round are quite expensive , a dolar each if I remember correct )
