Russian Aviaton » Wednesday August 17, 2022 16:20 MSK

Vietnam is interested in Russia’s Sukhoi and Yakovlev aircraft as well as in Mi military helicopters, Director of the Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation Dmitry Shugayev said at the Army-2022 international 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.
