Vietnam is quietly upgrading its air force… without buying new fighter jets.
Instead, it’s turning its aging fleet into a more capable force—step by step.
[Main Body]
At the center of Vietnam’s air power are around 35 Sukhoi Su-30MK2 fighters.
These jets were delivered by Russia between 2009 and 2015… and today, they form the backbone of the air force.
Built for air combat and maritime strike, they play a crucial role in securing Vietnam’s interests in the South China Sea.
But there’s a problem.
Sanctions on Russia… and supply chain disruptions… have made it harder to maintain these aircraft.
So Vietnam made a strategic shift.
Instead of depending on foreign support… it decided to upgrade and maintain these jets at home.
