The history of military cooperation between Russia and Vietnam is a complex and intriguing one, with far-reaching implications for global geopolitics.

During the Cold War era, the Soviet Union (now Russia) played a significant role in providing Vietnam with military assistance, motivated by their shared ideological alignment and the desire to counter Western influence in the region.

From the 1950s to the 1980s, the Soviet Union supplied Vietnam with a vast array of weaponry, including tanks, aircraft, artillery, and small arms.
