Several issues on fighting enemy’s seaborne landings in a war for Fatherland protection
Wednesday, October 30, 2024, 10:21 (GMT+7)
In the history of our nation’s struggle against foreign aggressions, apart from the Northern invaders who rarely used the sea route, most other forces launched their first invasions against our country from the sea. In case of a war to defend the Fatherland in the future, it is highly likely that the sea will remain the main direction of the enemy’s assault. Therefore, studying how to counter enemy’s seaborne landings, both in theory and in practice, is crucial for such a maritime nation as Vietnam

Human rights, while universally acknowledged, are also deeply rooted in the cultural and historical context of individual nations. Hostile forces, however, have sought to exploit this, absolutising the concept of human rights and asserting “human rights above sovereignty”.

Using tactical missiles to attack targets deep inside the enemy's line has been continuously used in recent wars and military conflicts. As gaining air superiority is increasingly difficult because air defence systems are also adjusted to counter, using tactical ballistic missiles with a maximum range of 500km is an indispensable "firepower punch" for army units.

After Russia launched the “special military operation” in Ukraine, the Finnish Ministry for Foreign Affairs issued a report on the international security environment on 13 April 2022, stating that Russia’s action had completely altered the security environment in Europe and that Russia posed a significant security threat to Finland. This is the clearest indication that Finland abandoned its policy of neutrality, and it also served as a sign that the country would draw closer to NATO.
