Transforming the artillery-missile posture from strategic defence to strategic counter-offensive in a war of homeland defence is a matter of profound significance. While not entirely new, it belongs to the art of war, which is ever evolving and developing, and therefore requires continuous research, supplementation, and refinement both in theory and in practice.
The armed forces’ role in August 1945 General Uprising and issues on building a modern Vietnam People’s Army today
Friday, August 15, 2025, 10:51 (GMT+7)
In August 1945, under the leadership of the Party and leader Ho Chi Minh, our people conducted a General Uprising to smash the yoke of colonialism, fascism, and feudalism, establish the Democratic Republic of Vietnam, and usher our nation into a new era - the era of national independence and socialism. In that great victory, our fledgling revolutionary armed forces played a core role in guiding and assisting the masses in rising up to seize power. Those historical lessons remain valuable in the Military’s building and fighting cause in general, the building of a modern Vietnam People’s Army in particular

Thursday, July 24, 2025, 19:37 (GMT+7)
Chemical defence in strategic defensive operations on Northern theatre during a war to defend the Fatherland is a critically important aspect of support work. It aims to minimise the destructive impacts of weapons of mass destruction (WMD), maintain the combat capability of the armed forces, and ensure the safety of the population. This is an extremely difficult and complex task that must be thoroughly studied and prepared in peacetime

Organising artillery firepower scientifically, rationally, creatively, and effectively plays a decisive role in successfully defeating enemy strategic airborne landings in strategic defensive operations. This is a continuously evolving aspect of operational art that requires further study and refinement in terms of both theory and practice.
On the use of artillery and missile forces in strategic counter-offensive operations of a war to defend the Fatherland
Friday, January 17, 2025, 16:04 (GMT+7)
Strategic counter-offensive operations in a war to defend the Fatherland are conducted when opportunities arise, aiming to turn the tide of the conflict, creating advantageous conditions and opportunities for subsequent strategic operations, ultimately defeating the enemy’ war of aggression. To achieve success in a strategic counter-offensive, it is essential to harness the combined strength of all forces, including artillery and missile units. Studying the art of employing artillery and missile forces is, therefore, a crucial aspect to consider
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
On the deployment of mobile forces to counter enemy ground advances in a strategic defensive operation in the Southern theatre
Thursday, March 28, 2024, 16:12 (GMT+7)
Strategic defence is one of the crucial types of strategic military operations, conducted through the coordination of extensive combat actions by onsite forces, units manning the defensive lines, etc., with the concentrated efforts of mobile forces to counter enemy advances. Its aim is to defeat enemy offensives, defend key objectives and strategic territories, and create favourable conditions and timing for subsequent strategic military operations.
Use of the artillery-missile force to counter enemy strategic airborne landings in strategic defensive operations in the northern theatre of war
Monday, August 28, 2023, 07:27 (GMT+7)
In modern warfare, strategic airborne landings will involve use of forces on a grand scale, including both troops and heavy weapon systems, and employment of special forces as the central elements to conduct airborn operations. The balance of power is likey to favour the enemy due to their superiority in forces and weapons. The enemy can suddenly alter this balance of power in a direction of the theatre of war. Therefore, the use of artillery-missile force must thoroughly grasp the viewpoint of leveraging the overall power of people’s warfare, using the three-element artillery and missile force to strike anywhere at anytime to triumph over the enemy.
On ensuring mobility routes in strategic defensive operations in a potential Patriotic War
Wednesday, August 23, 2023, 14:29 (GMT+7)
To ensure sufficient mobility routes for combat forces and technical hardware to fight the enemy, the Field Commands and its subordinate departments must preplan the required number of routes across the operational area, before, during, and after combat, encompassing both flatlands, midlands, mountainous regions, as well as waterways. This demands that the commanders of various departments and units, especially the combat engineering forces, develop proper plans for ensuring mobility routes in accordance with the defensive strategy even during peacetime, and are ready to improve, repair, and renovate such routes during combat.
On organisation of communication network in strategic defensive operations against the enemy plan to isolate and cut off the Central Region and the Central Highlands Theatres
Monday, May 15, 2023, 14:48 (GMT+7)
Because a strategic defensive operations against enemy plan to cut off and isolate the Central Region and Central Highlands will be a prolonged and fierce fight with many rapid developments; it is very likely that the enemy will concentrate their overwhelming firepower on critical targets in these areas, so our communication network must stay strong throughout the conflict. Therefore, the Theatre Commander and the Theatre Signal Branch must thoroughly study and grasp the situation, and deploy communication personnel and hardware effectively to maximise the capability and fortes of each unit.
