Vietnam may be after F-16s/P-3s

Oh, I'll bet this makes China all warm and fuzzy inside. It's interesting to see the chess match that the US plays with China in regard to softening tensions to potential allies against China's expansion in the region, unfortunately it comes at the cost of somewhat ignoring Vietnam's human rights violations under its one party communist regime.

I can see Vietnam wanting some of our other surplus gear out of Arizona as well.

Bet they could use some Kiowas too and I wonder if they might be in competition for some AV-8b's with Taiwan or possible A-10's, if we ever retire them and the DoD let those go?

On that note, I'm honestly shocked at this point that South Korea hasn't expressed more interest in the 'hog fleet. It seems right up their alley.
