Russian Subs in Vietnam
Print [1]
by Carlyle A. Thayer
August 21, 2012
On August 15, Thanh Nien newspaper reported that Vietnam would take delivery of its first
Kilo-class submarine by the end of the year. Vietnam has another five Kilo submarines on
order and is expected to take delivery at the rate of one submarine a year. According to
Vietnams defense Minister, General Phung Quang Thanh, Vietnam will develop a modern
submarine fleet in the next five to six years (2016-2017). In the late 1980s Vietnam sought
to acquire its first submarine from the Soviet Union. A crew was selected and it trained on a
Project 641 diesel submarine attached to the Soviet Pacific Fleet. The program was
suspended by General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev out of concerns about riling China.
Vietnams hopes to acquire submarines went into abeyance with the collapse of the USSR.
In a 1997 guns-for-rice barter, Vietnam acquired two Yugo-class mini-submarines from
North Korea. These were berthed at Cam Ranh Bay where they underwent repair and
overhaul. For the next 13 years analysts were uncertain about their operational status. In
January 2010, Tuoi Tre newspaper dramatically revealed the existence of M96, Vietnams
secret submarine service, with a photo of a Yugo submarine and its crew. The Yugos were
used for diver related operations. According to a Western defense attach stationed in
Moscow, The mini-sub experience provides a basic foundation for understanding
submarine operations and maintenance.
Vietnams interest in acquiring a full-size conventional submarine was apparently whetted in
1997 as a result of a visit by a Russian Project 636 Kilo-class submarine to Cam Ranh Bay. In
2000 there were unconfirmed reports that Vietnam and Russia had reached a memorandum
of understanding covering the possible sale of submarines. Also that year, Vietnam and
India signed a defense agreement that included a provision for the Indian navy to provide
training for Vietnamese naval personnel including submariners.
Background
In October 2002 Vietnam asked India to provide submarine training, but another four years
passed before India announced it would commence training for Vietnamese naval cadets
and officers. Currently India is providing training in submarine escape procedure to
Vietnamese naval personnel.
The year 2008 marked a major turning point. Vietnam unsuccessfully sought to acquire
conventional submarines from Serbia. It then turned to Russia and reached an agreement in
principle to purchase six Project 636M Kilo-class submarines. During 2008 Vietnams
defense minister and state president made separate visits to Moscow to clinch the deal.
In 2009 Russian industry sources went public. On April 24, Vladimir Aleksandrov, the general
director of Admiralteiskie Verfi (Admiralty Shipyard) in St. Petersburg, announced that his
company had been identified to execute a contract for six Improved Kilo-class Project 636
submarines. The submarines were priced at US $300-350 million per unit or $1.8-2.1 billion
in total.
The formal contract to purchase the six Kilos was signed in Moscow by the Russian arms
exporter, Rosoboronexport, and the Vietnamese Ministry of National Defense in December
2009. The signing was witnessed by President Vladimir Putin and Prime Minister Nguyen Tan
Dung. Admiralty Shipyards began construction of the first of six submarines with a keel-
laying ceremony on August 24, 2010. This submarine is scheduled to be launched on August
28, 2012 and is now undergoing a series of sea trials before delivery to Vietnam.
The Russia-Vietnam submarine contract also included provisions for in addition to the
delivery of the six submarines crew training and the construction of an on-shore
maintenance facility. In March 2010, Vietnam formally requested Russian assistance in
constructing a submarine base at Cam Ranh Bay.
Project 636M-class Kilo-class submarine
The Project 636M submarine is officially designated the Varshavyanka-class by Russia; it is
more widely known by its NATO designation, the Kilo-class. The Kilo is a non-nuclear fast
attack submarine (SSK). It can perform the following missions: anti-submarine and anti-
shipping warfare, coastal defense, mine laying, general reconnaissance and patrol.
Vietnam has ordered the latest variant the
improved 636MV. It has better range, speed,
reliability, sea endurance, acoustic characterizes
and firepower than its earlier variant.
The Project 636 Kilo-class submarine has been
dubbed the black hole by the U.S. Navy for its
level of quietness. The Project 636MV-class sub
has improved stealth features through the
removal of flooding ports and treating the hull
with multilayer anechoic rubber tiles. The tiles
are fitted on casings and fins to absorb active sonar waves that reduce and distort the
return signal. The anechoic tiles also shield sounds from within the submarine thus reducing
the range of detection by passive sonar.
The improved Kilo is 73.8 meters (242 ft.) in length, 9.9 meters (32.4 ft.) in width with a
draft of 6.2 meters (20.34 ft.). It has a surface displacement of 2,350 tons and can dive up to
quarter of a mile. The improved Kilo is powered by diesel-electric engines. It has a range of
9,650 km (5,996 miles) and can travel 700 km (434 miles) underwater at 2.7 knots (5
km/hour) at quiet speed. The Kilo can reach a top speed of 20 knots (37 km/hour). Vietnam
apparently has not opted for the Air Independent Propulsion system that would permit
extended time on patrol. The Improved Kilo has a crew of 57.
The Project 636MV submarine has six 533-mm forward torpedo tubes. It can carry 18
torpedoes (six loaded in the tubes and 12 in racks) or 24 mines (two in each tube and 12 in
racks). Two of the torpedo tubes are designed to fire remote-controlled torpedoes with very
high accuracy. The improved Kilo can also fire anti-ship cruise missiles from its torpedo
tubes. The Kilo also carries MANPADS Strela-3 antiaircraft missiles.
In June 2010 it was reported that the total cost of Vietnams submarine package had risen
from the original estimates of $1.8-$2.1 billion to $3.2 billion. The additional costs included
armaments and infrastructure construction. Industry sources report that Vietnams Kilo-
submarines will be equipped with either the 53-56 or TEST 76 heavy torpedoes. Industry
sources also speculate that Vietnams Kilos will be kitted out with anti-ship missiles, such as
the 3M-54E or 3M-54E1. In July 2011, Oleg Azizov, a representative of Rosoboronexport,
confirmed that Vietnam will take delivery of the deadly Novator Club-S (SS-N-27) anti-ship
cruise missile with a range of 300 kilometers.
Operational Environment
Vietnam is acquiring Kilo-class submarines for operations in the relatively shallow waters of
the South China Sea. When they commence operations they will enhance Vietnams
maritime domain awareness about the operations of foreign paramilitary and naval vessels
in waters off Vietnams coastline and in waters surrounding the Spratly Islands. In addition,
the Kilo submarines will provide a deterrent against the contingency that China might
attempt to quickly seize an island or feature occupied by Vietnam in the South China Sea.
More generally, the Kilos will provide a modest but potent anti-access/area denial capability
against intimidation by Chinese Peoples Liberation Army Navy warships.
Before Vietnam acquires these capabilities it will have to absorb the Kilos into its force
structure and transition from a two-dimensional (surface and air) to a three- dimensional
force. Vietnam will also need to find the funding for maintenance and repair to keep the
Kilos operational and develop a capable submarine rescue capability. Industry analysts
predict that Vietnam will fall somewhere between Singapore and Indonesia in its ability to
absorb the Kilos and produce effective capability. These analysts say much depends on
sustained Russian and Indian support over the coming years for Vietnam to develop a truly
modern submarine fleet.
