T-90 tanks soon come to Vietnam - a big order under discussion
the Daily "Iswestija" reports, Vietnam intends to acquire 100 T-90 tanks. According to Wladimir Rostschupkin, the executive director of Uralwagonsawod, the company that produces the tanks, Vietnam and Russia are currently negotiating on price and quantity. He adds, Vietnam wants special configuration for the tanks.
Vietnam urgently needs new modern battle tanks. At the moment, the Vietnamese armed forces possess hundreds of Soviet and Chinese made battle tanks. some of tanks have been undergone modernization and upgraded by Israeli specialists. The country previously negotiated with Poland for delivery of T-72 tanks, but the negotiation failed by some reasons.
Ruslan Puchow, the director of Centrum for Strategic and Technology analysis, urges the russian company to make concession: "the market is highly competitive. Vietnam recently preferred Israeli assault rifles over Kalaschnikow from Russia. Also, France offers weaponry. it is better not to lose Vietnam to our competitors."
T-90s belong to standard main battle tanks of Russian armed forces. many countries operate T-90 such as Algeria, Aserbaidschan and India. Syria also fields T-90 tanks against terror groups.
