Russian arms import-export corporation Rosoboronexport has just confirmed that it will sell 64 T-90S and T-90SK tanks to the Vietnam People's Army.

Vietnam will receive T-90S tanks and naval weapons under the credit that Russia has provided to Vietnam, said Alexander Mikheev, general director of Rosoboronexport, to the press at the international air show (MAKS 2017) in Zhukovsky, a suburb of Moscow.

He also said that before the end of 2017, we may sign a number of naval and air force weapons contracts with Thailand.

Earlier in April, the Uralvagonzavod tank corporation leaked a report detailing some of its activities in 2016. In particular, it said that before the end of 2017, Uralvagonzavod would deliver 64 T-90S and T-90SK tanks to Vietnam. However, the report was soon removed from the corporation's website.

It should be noted that Vietnam is one of Russia's most important partners in the field of military-technical cooperation.

In particular, the Vietnam People's Army has been equipped with 2 S-300PMU-1 air defense missile battalions, 35 Su-30MK2 multi-role fighters, 2 Gepard-3.9 missile frigates (the next 2 ships are being tested and ready for delivery), 2 Bastion-P coastal defense missile battalions, along with 6 Kilo 636.1 diesel-electric submarines and many other weapons.
