Breaking News – Vietnam Deployed High-Precision Rocket Launcher In South China Sea
Several sources reported that Vietnam has secretly moved rocket launchers to five bases in Spratly Islands, in the disputed South China Sea, able to strike Chinese military bases on its newly-built island. That puts China’s 3,000-metre runways and installations on Subi, Fiery Cross and Mischief Reef within range of many of Vietnam’s tightly clustered holdings on 21 islands and reefs.
These launchers could be operational within a few days. Military experts believe the rocket launchers are part of a rocket system purchased from Israel. The system, known as EXTRA, can attack both ships and land targets up to a range of 150 kilometers. EXTRA is considered to be easily movable and effective against multiple targets at the same time. It uses compact radars, so does not require a large operational footprint – also suitable for deployment on islets and reefs.
The move is designed to counter China’s build-up on its seven reclaimed islands in the Spratlys archipelago. Vietnam’s military strategists fear the building of runways, radars and other military installations on those holdings have left Vietnam’s southern and island defences increasingly vulnerable.
Vietnamese Deputy Defense Minister earlier said that “it is within our legitimate right to self-defence to move any of our weapons to any area at any time within our sovereign territory”.
