Interesting video of the upgrades performed by the PLA to the old V-100s left to the ARVN. Not in English but you can see diesel and props added for amphibious operations.

A lot of myths out there for sure. Has anyone ever determined proof of any M715s in Vietnam? Kinda reminds me of the short-lived experience of M114s in Vietnam with the ARVN. That didn't last long at all.
Actually, the Aussies never sent any Ferrets to Vietnam. This is documented in the book "Mud & Dust" as well as the Australian War Memorial archives. We researched is years back when there were reports of Aussies using Saladins in Vietnam as well, which never happened, either.
This is a pretty substantial parade with a lot of spectators honoring our fallen. Any MVs are very welcomed. May 27, 9:00am at Smith Park, N. Main St. Parade begins at 10 and proceeds to Woodside Cemetery on S. Verity. Finishes by 11:30.
There have been MBTs sent sky high with buried IEDs, killing everyone, and this was many years ago. Shaped charges or simply enough of a charge will defeat anything. It is pure folly to believe any armor offers total protection.
