It's the Vietnamese's covert answer to the PBR but, in this case, the kid at the front ducks inside the superstructure, the roof of which then concertina's back & the sides drop down to reveal the kid sitting in an armoured tub armed with four Chinese Type 54 12.7mm Heavy Machine Guns on a copy of a Czech M53 mount.

Sure it's civilian! ::)

What about all the weapons & ammunition under the cargo? And that one crew member, who seems to be in charge until a river patrol rocks up, who has no idea about sailing a boat? ???
