During the Vietnam War (1965–1975) and the Cambodian–Vietnamese War (1977–1989), Vietnam People's Ground Forces relied almost entirely on the weapons and equipment systems derived from the Soviet Union. Since the Soviet collapse in 1991, the period of cheap military equipment for Vietnam ended and Vietnam began the use of hard currency and barter to buy weapons and equipment. Vietnam prioritises economic development and growth while maintaining defence spending in a trickle. Vietnam does not conduct the procurement phase or major upgrade of weapons. From the end of the 1990s the Government of Vietnam has announced the acquisition of a number of strategic systems equipped with modern weapons. Accordingly, Vietnam has been slow to develop naval and air forces to control shallow waters and exclusive economic zone. Currently most defence procurement programs are primarily made to remedy this priority. For example, Vietnam has purchased a number of combat aircraft and warships that have the ability to combat in high seas. Vietnam also plans to develop the defence industry, with priority for the Navy, combined with its former communist allies and India.〔()〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Asia Times - Russian missiles to guard skies over Vietnam )〕 In 2006, Israel reported to the United Nations Register Organization of Conventional Arms (UNROCA) that two light armoured vehicles had been sold to Vietnam. A number of Israeli companies won a bid to modernise and upgrade T-54/55 tanks. Israel's program includes upgrading armour, night vision system and a fire control system upgrade (produced in Poland). On May 2002, Vietnam and Ukraine reached an agreement of military technical co-operation which extended to 2005. Accordingly, Ukraine will support Vietnam primarily to upgrade armour and artillery, weapons co-production and repair. In February 2005, the Ministry of Defense of Finland ceded to Vietnam about 70 tanks T-54 and T-55 from the Soviet era. In early March 2005, Poland signed a contract to sell to Vietnam 150 T-72 tanks which would've been used to support training, ammunition, equipment maintenance and repair but this contract was cancelled in 2006 because Vietnam wanted to investment more on its Navy and Air Force . In addition to upgrading tanks, the Ministry of Defense of Vietnam signed a military co-operation agreement with Russia. The Vietnamese have also developed the capacity to produce their own equipment and repaired existing equipment. ==Tanks== * T-62 Main battle tank (70)〔http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/world/vietnam/army-equipment.htm〕 * T-54/55 Main battle tank (850)〔〔http://www.armyrecognition.com/weapons_defence_industry_military_technology_uk/vietnamese_armed_forces_modernize_its_fleet_of_main_battle_tanks_t-55_to_standard_t_54_55m3_2503124.html〕 * Type-59 Main battle tank (350)〔 * Type 62 Light tank (200)〔http://vietnamresearch.com/armor/NVA_armor.html〕 * PT-76 Light tank (300)〔 * Type-63 Amphibious light tank (120) In storage * M48 Patton Medium tank (100) * M-41 Light tank (100) * SU-100 Tank destroyer (100) * T-34 Medium tank (45) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of equipment of the Vietnam People's Ground Forces」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
