In 2021, Russia exported more than 50% of all imports in Vietnam. One of the novelties of the Vietnamese MIC was on the basis of KAMAZ, which once again confirms high dependence on Moscow. The first defensive exhibition was held in the capital of Vietnam. The country demonstrates a decrease in its dependence on Russian weapons. About it reports Defense News. From December 8 to December 10, an exhibition of Vietnam International Defense Expo was held at Jia Lam Airport.

The event was attended by 170 companies, including American RT Robotics, which specializes in unmanned technologies. Vittel's state telecommunications company showed various types of weapons to radars for air defense. For example, the radar of a small and medium range of 3D S-band and a family of electronic wrestling AJAS-1000.

According to the Stockholm International Institute for Peace Problems, Russia was a leading Vietnam Weapons Supplier from 2017 to 2021, which accounted for 56% of the total import of Hanoi in this category. Therefore, Vietnam is actively trying to reduce their impact. Interestingly, Vittel's novelties were shown on Russian KAMAZ trucks. The exhibition also showed BRDM-2 and Redut-M coastline missiles.
