Russia and Vietnam plan to begin jointly producing an anti-ship missile this year, RIA Novosti reported, a development that would mark the Southeast Asian nation’s latest move to boost its coastal defenses.
The weapon will be based on Russia’s Uran subsonic anti-ship missile, the state-run news service cited the head of Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation, Mikhail Dmitriyev, as saying. It would have a range of 250 kilometers (155 miles) and could be fired from helicopters, ships and land, according to the report.
