Candidates mentioned in the T-72 series, typically the Russian T-72B3 that Vietnam has become acquainted with in the Tank Biathlon tournament. The most appropriate for Vietnam appeared to be the T-72B1MS White Eagle, similar to the one used by the Lao People’s Army since 2019.
Recently in the Communist Magazine, Defense Studies reports, there was an article titled “Department of Engineering, the Armored Cavalry Division owns new weapons, new technical equipment, meets the requirements, the mission is ready to fight”.
