To conduct training in hunting low-flying and rapidly maneuvering targets, the Vietnamese Air Defense Force has put into operation its domestically produced VRS-2DM radar.
 |
| Information about the new equipment package is mentioned in the article "Gradually Mastering New Radar Equipment Technology" in the Air Defense-Air Force newspaper. The Air Defense-Air Force Command has received, operated, and used many new and improved radar types such as: long-range radars like ELM-2288ER, ELM-2084, RV-02, VRS-2DM, 36D6, and the improved P-18M radar. |
 |
| Among the radar systems mentioned is the VRS-2DM, developed domestically by Vietnam. According to publicly available information, the VRS-2DM radar system is equipment developed by the Viettel Military Telecommunications Group based on the prototype of the Soviet P-19 radar. |
 |
| This is a highly effective low-altitude tracking device, equipped for Air Defense and Air Force units to perform combat readiness, airspace management, and flight operations management tasks. |
 |
| According to the Air Force News, in 2016, the Air Force organized two training courses on VRS-2DM radar equipment: a staff course lasting one month and a technical course lasting two months. |
 |
| During the training process, officers at all levels of the Air Force were introduced to basic knowledge about the features, tactics, operational procedures, combat preparation, adjustment, repair, and maintenance procedures of the VRS-2DM radar system. |
 |
| The introduction of the VRS-2DM into service has contributed to enhancing the combat capabilities of units, improving air surveillance, and providing early warning for missile fire units. In addition, this radar system can provide information to anti-aircraft artillery, enabling them to raise their alert level and prepare to destroy flying targets, including low-flying, terrain-hugging targets. |
 |
| Reportedly, the radar system was first unveiled at the 2015 Socio-Economic Achievements Exhibition held from late August to early September 2015 in Hanoi. The VRS-2DM system is a highly mobile, low-altitude 2D surveillance radar used for monitoring national airspace and providing information to air defense missile systems. |
 |
| VRS-2DM is a 2-coordinate (2D) meter-wave medium-range surveillance radar used to detect airborne targets within its coverage area and provide information to air defense missile systems. |
