I mean you cant indulge in JV and buying weapons. Vietnam tech is nothing but a peice of crap withou Russian help. India is a more powerful and independant country, think it twice before your movement. Personally, i am ok with Indian. As to Vietnam, not interested.

What a wimp, India and the rest of Asia just wanted China taste it own meditation. If China cant handle the punch then don't give one.

Good for India, seen like none of China's weaponry battle tested. Remember some China tank export to one of South America country and got reject due to the tank can't handle in battle situation. I forgot that name country brought these Chinese tank, also they can't return to China due to the shipping cost, so beware with Chinese military weapon. Hate to go to war with unstable weapons from China, no wonder Chinese leaders playing tongue war.

You think Vietnam is so primitive to import defence equipment from India, who do not know how to make an decent assault rifle for their army. Dream on.

For first 8 months this year, Vietnam's equipment and machinery export to India double that of import from India. The biggest export items from Vietnam to India are telephone and accessories (243 millions), equipment and machinery (154 millions), while the biggest import items from India to Vietnam are corn (247 millions) and animal feed (199 millions).

I think you"re wrong here. Many Chinese weapons are battle tested.

the most recent would Chinese cruise missile exported Iran, fired by Hezbollah on an Israeli Ship.

Chinese weapons were found to robust in the 1st and 2nd Gulf wars.
