Episodes of the Vietnamese army training on T-90S tanks. Vietnam purchased the first 64 T-90S and T-90SK tanks from Russia back in 2017. The T-90SK is a command version of the tank. T-90S tanks are well suited to Vietnam with its climate conditions and terrain. The T-90 is lighter and can go where heavier tanks would get bogged down. The T-90S is an improved version of the T-90, which was created based on the needs of Asian countries. The tank is equipped with a 1000 hp V-92S2 engine, capable of accelerating the tank to a speed of 60 km / h, the cruising range is 550 km. The tank is equipped with a 125 mm 2A46M cannon. The T-90S tank is equipped with a simplified version of the Shtora-1 optical-electronic suppression system, air conditioning and an automatic target tracking system.

The Research Institute of Military Science and Technology of the Vietnam People's Army has carried out work to modernize the ZSU-23-4M Shilka anti-aircraft self-propelled guns of Soviet manufacture. The ZSU-23-4M Shilka was equipped with a digital optical-electronic fire control system with an automated target tracking system both in daytime and at night and a laser rangefinder. The optical-electronic station was created by the Vietnamese company Viettel Military Industry and Telecoms Group. It was previously reported that the ZSU-23-4M Shilka was to be equipped with dual launchers for the Russian-made Igla MANPADS, but so far the ZSU-23-4M is without them.
Vietnam showed its new BXL.01 drone at the VIDEX-2024 exhibition, and its tests were also demonstrated. Visually, the new BXL.01 hovering munition is very similar to the Russian kamikaze drone "Lancet-52". The BXL.01 kamikaze drone is developed and manufactured by the Vietnamese Z131 plant of the General Directorate of Defense Industry. Despite the similarity with the Lancet-52 drone, the characteristics of the BXL.01 drone are significantly lower.
It is reported that the take-off weight of the BXL.01 drone is 8 kg, the weight of the warhead is 1.2 kg, the flight time is up to 10 minutes at an altitude of up to 500 meters. The flight range of the BXL.01 drone is up to 10 km, at a speed of up to 100 km / h.
