Vietnam Eyeing Russian Su, YAK Aircraft; Mi Helicopters
Vietnam has shown interest in buying Russian aircraft such as Su and YAK jets and Mi helicopters, Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation (FSMTC) Dmitry Shugayev said at the Army-2022 Forum on Wednesday.
"The Socialist Republic of Vietnam remains among our main partners. This foreign customer is demonstrating increased interest in the advanced Su and Yak aircraft, Mi helicopters, armored vehicles, as well as short-and medium-range missile systems," Shugayev revealed when asked what new Russian-made hardware the Asian country was interested in.
Vietnam is Russia's largest partner in terms of military-technical cooperation. On December 1, 2021, Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu and his Vietnamese counterpart Phan Van Giang inked an intergovernmental agreement on military-technical cooperation between the two countries.
