Vietnam bought weapons from Russia after 1991.Like frigates and submarines and jet fighters.
Perhaps you can search the internet for more information,eg,the website of Vietnamese MOD. -
Funny of funnies - I just learned that they are now going to get Huey parts to rebuild thier "aging" fleet of left over Hueys that the US abandoned after the war...Comment

The U.S. Navy and the navy of Vietnam recently held joint exercises.
The official major league baseball batting gloves that I wear when I go to the batting cage were made in Vietnam.
China is getting bigger, and has been giving Japan a hard time recently.
Vietnam and China are traditional enemies.
Bottom line:
If they are not getting them quietly already, Vietnam will probably soon be a market for US weaponry, as well as Japanese, Israeli, and a few other nations that are allied with the US globally.Comment

After the fall of the Berlin wall. Vietnam bought large amounts of old NVA (East German) Equipment. The Bundeswehr after absorbing the NVA wholesales most of the Warsaw Pact weapons. With the exception of a FG ouitside Berlin of MiG-29s almost all the weapons that weren't researved for SpecOps or Training have been replaced the the NATO mandated arms. North Korea also has been a large supplier of weapons in the past.
Being the Vietnam and China have been at a odds since the Sino-Soviet split by allowing Russian airbases in the north following the Vietnam War. China and Vietnam have also being fighting over islands in the Gulf of Tolken occupied by China. The odds of China selling weapons to Vietnam is very slim or else they would have the cheap versions of the Silkworm, T-78 or the JP-7.Comment

Most of the Huey's that the North Vietnamese Army captured were those given to the The Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN). I would imagine that these birds are in really poor shape !Originally posted by eindecker2 View PostComment

They certainly had a close (but semi-rocky) friendship between 1946 and the VN commencement of peace talks with the US. I know that they had their short little war after the US departed, but I thought they were relatively close again.Originally posted by Bill D. View PostComment
