Images of the Pohang 20-class underground hunting corvettes with the KT-184 launch tubes of Kh-35 Uran-E anti-ship cruise missiles have just been posted.

At present, there are 2 Pohang-class submarine-hunting guard ships transferred by the Korean People's Navy: Vessel 18 and Vessel 20, of which Vessel 20 has the most intact weapon configuration when not cut , offering very high upgrade prospects.

A source from South Korea's Defense Times said that the Vietnamese Navy will remove the WM-28 fire control radar and the original SQS-58 hydro-acoustic navigator onboard Pohang.

Replacing the device will be a fire control radar originating from India, the negative hydrostatic positioning device is also provided by New Delhi, which may be the type of HMS-X2 that Vietnam chooses to upgrade the Petya ships, accompanied by 400 mm anti-submarine torpedoes.

The most significant improvement that Korean magazine considers is that Vietnam will conduct integrated anti-ship cruise missiles Kh-35 Uran-E for both Pohang ships, turning them into versatile warships with power redoubtable.

And most recently, the image of the underground hunting guard boat No. 20 with two clusters of eight KT-184 launch tubes of the Kh-35 Uran-E anti-ship cruise missile has been posted, showing that it has been "transformed" into a truly versatile battleship.

In addition to Ship 20, the configuration of anti-ship missiles as above can be applied on all ships 18, bringing superior strength to this class of warships, even more when it is still in service. Korean army.

However, one thing to keep in mind is that the radar for Kh-35 Uran-E missiles has not been seen, normally other ships of the Vietnamese Navy will have to carry Garpun-Bal fire control radar. On top of the radar tower for this mission.

Therefore, in order for the Pohang to be able to operate independently without relying on receiving target data from other ships in the border, it will need to add Garpun-Bal radar to the roof of the commanding cabine, but when it is not available This detail is likely to be testing configuration.

Thus, after an anti-aircraft missile carrying the role of Igla, the Pohang-class submarine guarding ship in the People's Army of Vietnam has been added with a new powerful weapon, helping to bring it to a remarkable height.
