Vietnam Army to Field indigenous Version of Galil ACE Assault Rifles
According to the Vietnamese website VietDefense, The Vietnam’s People Army (VPA) has begun training officers in preparation for the fielding of STV-380 and STV-215 assault rifles, which are local Vietnamese versions of the Galil ACE 31/32 7.62x39 mm assault rifle made by the Israeli company IWI and manufactured in Vietnam under a license from the Israeli company.
The STV-380s and STV-215s has under-barrel grenade launchers and intend to replace the army's AK-47 (Kalashnikov) assault rifles.

The STV rifle, short for Súng Trường Việt Nam (lit. 'Rifle of Vietnam' or 'Vietnamese rifle') in Vietnamese, is a family of assault rifles made by Vietnam. They are all assembled at the Z111 Factory, and currently, all of them are chambered in 7.62x39mm. The STV-215 is the carbine version of the STV-380.
Since 2021, it is used alongside the STV-380 as one of the standard issued rifles for the People's Army of Vietnam. It is similar to the STV-380 in all aspects, except the barrel length is 215mm.
