The Research Institute of Military Sciences and Technologies of the Vietnamese People's Army carried out work on the modernization of Soviet-made ZSU-23-4M Shilka self-propelled anti-aircraft guns. The ZSU-23-4M "Shilka" was equipped with a digital optical-electronic fire control system with an automated target tracking system in both day and night conditions and a laser range finder. The optical-electronic station was created by the Vietnamese company Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group. It was previously reported that the ZSU-23-4M "Shilka" was supposed to be equipped with double launchers for Russian-made "Igla" MANPADS, but so far the ZSU-23-4M is without them.
Episodes of the Vietnamese army training on T-90S tanks. Vietnam purchased the first 64 T-90S and T-90SK tanks from Russia back in 2017. The T-90SK is a command version of the tank. T-90S tanks are well suited to Vietnam with its climate conditions and terrain. The T-90 is lighter and can go where heavier tanks would get bogged down. The T-90S is an improved version of the T-90, which was created based on the needs of Asian countries. The tank is equipped with a 1000 hp V-92S2 engine, capable of accelerating the tank to a speed of 60 km / h, the cruising range is 550 km. The tank is equipped with a 125 mm 2A46M cannon. The T-90S tank is equipped with a simplified version of the Shtora-1 optical-electronic suppression system, air conditioning and an automatic target tracking system.
Vietnam showed its new BXL.01 drone at the VIDEX-2024 exhibition, and its tests were also demonstrated. Visually, the new BXL.01 hovering munition is very similar to the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-52". The BXL.01 kamikaze drone is developed and manufactured by the Vietnamese Z131 plant of the General Directorate of Defense Industry. Despite the similarity with the Lancet-52 drone, the characteristics of the BXL.01 drone are significantly lower.
It is reported that the take-off weight of the BXL.01 drone is 8 kg, the weight of the warhead is 1.2 kg, the flight time is up to 10 minutes at an altitude of up to 500 meters. The flight range of the BXL.01 drone is up to 10 km, at a speed of up to 100 km / h.

The Vietnamese Armed Forces have shown footage of the landing of marines on the coast. The exercises involved the use of PT-76B and BTR-60PB light tanks, the landing was carried out from a Project 771 medium landing ship. It is worth noting that it is quite difficult to see this military equipment in excellent, close to new condition these days. Judging by all the videos, the Vietnamese army carefully monitors the condition of its military equipment. The PT-76B light tank used by Vietnam was produced in the USSR from 1959 to 1963. The PT-76B is also in the Russian army, but they are in storage. The PT-76B tank is equipped with a 76.2 mm D-56TS rifled gun. The BTR-60PB was also produced in the USSR from 1960 to 1987. The Vietnamese BTR-60PB is armed with a 14.5 mm KPVT heavy machine gun and a 7.62 mm machine gun. Russia is also currently using the BTR-60PB.
Russia and Vietnam conducted exercises at Cam Ranh Port to locate distressed submarines resting on the seabed. The drills involved the Russian Project 636.3 submarine *Ufa* and the Project 21300 *Delfin* rescue vessel *Igor Belousov*, as well as the Vietnamese Project 636.1 submarine *Ho Chi Minh* and the multi-purpose search-and-rescue vessel *Yet Kieu*. According to the exercise scenario, the *Ufa* and the *Ho Chi Minh* simulated an emergency situation. Rescue vessels from both nations located and inspected the submarines using remotely operated deep-sea vehicles. The crew of the *Igor Belousov* deployed the *Pantera Plus* underwater vehicle to inspect the submarine, while Vietnamese rescue teams carried out similar operations on the Russian submarine.
