Soviet Equipment

“I learned that Hanoi had persuaded Moscow bloc countries to support its master plan with sophisticated weaponry and supplies. I canned Hungarian goulash, Soviet trucks, tracked vehicles, field artillery pieces, and Bulgarian medicines.”

The sophistication of these in firepower that they represent pose a definite increase in the threat to allied forces. In addition, the recovery of these items reflect the continued support of North Vietnam by the Soviet Union.
