In November of 2017, the image of the NC-212i Marine Surveillance Aircraft manufactured by Indonesian Aerospace in Bandung Factory ordered the first test flight in yellow paint.

As of January 9, 2018, in an Indonesian TV news report, the NC-212i was painted in new colors, indicating that it was 100% complete and could be handed over in the near future. (January or February of this year).

This new NC-212i was painted in the Air Force, very much like the C-295M, which is on the 18th Army Group with the Vietnamese Air Force on the side, not the white-blue of the Coast Guard as before.

Especially the aircraft still has the resources of reconnaissance, sea patrol. It is possible to forecast that its mission would be to transport, linking land-based bridges to remote islands.

It is expected that the ship will arrive in Vietnam at the end of January, 1818 to formally celebrate the flag with the third one now bearing the name and number 015 - Tran Hung Dao before Lunar New Year.

After receiving two pairs of Gepard 3.9, there are two threads that we can order to add another pair to the configuration of the dominant weapon, or switch to the more advanced 20385 Project Stealth.

The reception of the two advanced vehicles in early 2018 is a good signal for the whole year, bringing the strength of the Air Force - Navy in particular and the Vietnam People's Army in general to a new height.
