To conduct training on hunting low-flying and fast-moving targets, the Vietnam Air Defense has put into operation the domestically produced VRS-2DM radar.

Information about the new equipment package is mentioned in the article "Step by step mastering new radar equipment techniques" in the PK-KQ newspaper. The PK-KQ Service receives, exploits, and uses many new and improved radars such as: Long-range radars such as ELM-2288ER, ELM-2084, RV-02, VRS-2DM, 36D6 and improved radar P-18M. |
 |
Among the series of radar systems mentioned is the VRS-2DM developed by Vietnam itself. According to public information, the VRS-2DM radar system is a weapon developed by Viettel Military Telecommunications Group based on the prototype of the Soviet Union's P-19 radar. |
 |
This is a weapon with very good low-altitude capture capability, equipped for units of the Air Defense - Air Force Service to perform combat readiness tasks, airspace management and flight operations management. |
 |
PK-KQ Newspaper reported that in 2016, the Air Force organized 2 training courses on VRS-2DM radar equipment including: Staff course for 1 month, Technical course for 2 months. |
 |
During the training process, officers at all levels of the Service are introduced to basic knowledge about the features, tactics, exploitation and use procedures, combat preparation, adjustment, repair, maintenance procedures, and periodic maintenance of VRS-2DM radar equipment. |
 |
The introduction of VRS-2DM into service has contributed to improving the combat power of units, sky surveillance, and early warning for missile fire units. In addition, this radar system can also provide information for anti-aircraft artillery to switch to an alert level ready to destroy flying targets, including low-flying targets that cling to the terrain. |
 |
It is known that the radar system was first introduced at the 2015 Socio-Economic Achievements Exhibition held from late August to early September 2015 in Hanoi. The VRS-2DM system is a low-altitude, highly mobile 2D radar station used to monitor national airspace and provide information to air defense missile complexes. |
 |
VRS-2DM is a 2D meter wave medium-range surveillance radar, used to detect air targets within the station's coverage area and provide information to air defense missile complexes. |
