Historically, the relations between the Soviet Union and Vietnam were particularly good, and the friendship between the Soviet Union and Vietnam was also valued by the Vietnamese people, and to this day, the most important meeting place in Hanoi is also known as the Vietnam-Soviet Friendship Palace! It is precisely because of this that soviet assistance to Vietnam also made Vietnam lose itself, and eventually created the Chinese counterattack against Vietnam in 1979
What assistance did the Soviet Union provide to Vietnam in 1979? To the situation at that time
And what does it do?
Since the end of the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union has reduced its aid to Vietnam year by year, especially in material and machine aid. However, in 1978, the Soviet military assistance to Vietnam suddenly increased, and the number began to increase, and the total value of goods and weapons provided by Moscow to Hanoi was about $11 million, which was used to maintain the peaceful development needs of the Vietnamese army after the war in Vietnam, but in 1978 it soared to $90 million, which gave the Vietnamese army enough funds to organize the fighting army that invaded Cambodia!
And to
In 1979
The Soviet Union shipped 1.8 billion U.S. dollars of military supplies to Vietnam, which was very large at the time, and the Soviet Union also provided Vietnam with many of the most advanced weapons and equipment at that time, and these goods and weapons worth more than 1 billion were continuously imported into the small country of Vietnam, which also made Vietnam begin to lose itself, and even once called itself the third military power, and finally Vietnam did not withstand the provocation of the Soviet Union and launched a war against China.
But, only
Less than a month,
Vietnam is already there
cease all activities
In a month, China defeated Vietnam, whose military strength seemed to be very strong at that time, which also taught Vietnam a real lesson! So, fundamentally speaking, without the support of the Soviet Union and the support of China, Vietnam is really nothing, so as a country, you must not be ungrateful, nor can you be partial, otherwise you can only be beaten by yourself.
