This question is a "two bladed sword": For the AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) & SAM's (Surface To Air Missiles), and MIG-17 & MIG-21 Jet Fighters, all of which was part of the North Vietnamese "Air Defense Network", the Soviet Union probably supplied the most hardware; for the AIR WAR OVER THE NORTH. For the trucks, tanks, and SP's (Self Propelled artilley), and MIG-19 (J-6 models) Jet Fighters (also part of the WAR OVER THE NORTH) Red China (Chinese Communist-CHICOM for short) supplied the most. For the NVA (North Viet Army) fighting in South Vietnam, nearly EVERY SKS rifle, AK-47, K-54 pistol, mortar, rocket launcher (RPG's included), and ammunition and grenades were CHICOM's. These items were so numerous and so common, that the "word" used when confronted with these weapons, was yelled out, "CHICOM!" When enemy "contact" was made, the LT (or CPT) or SGT would yell over the radio, "...we have contact, grid position...request such and such...over". If (or when) enemy grenades started flying into us, you'd here, "CHICOMS!" And everybody would flatten out. If you heard "Grenade Out!", we were throwing them.

Why did the Vietnamese people need a good leader during the Vietnam war?

First of all, there were two Vietnamese peoples during the war. The North Vietnamese had a good leader, whilst the South Vietnamese may have had decent leader, the north had a better one; since the north won the war. Secondly, any nation could use a good leader. Unless that particular nation (country) is doing so well (economically, etc.) that it excels on it's own...in which case the leader is nothing but a "figure head" (a person who is leader of nation in title but has NO real authority).
