Originally the Soviets supplied the MiG17, then discontinued it and supplied only the MiG21. The Red Chinese picked up where the USSR left off and supplied their version of the MiG17, the J5 series jet. The Chicom (Chinese Communist) J6 (MiG19) was supplied only by Red China; the Soviets never supplied North Vietnam with MiG19s. Both the USSR and Red China supplied tanks, artillery, small arms, trucks, missiles, radar systems, and torpedo boats.

∙ 12y agoTechnically the VC were rebels as they were fighting their own government (RVN). Until the HCM trail was fully operational-and operating well-the "rebels" took their supplies (to include weapons) from any source they could...battlefield pick-ups being the most common method. Raiding ammo dumps or armories and ambushing government troops (ARVNs) and taking their weapons and supplies (which might be considered battlefield pick-ups).
Bottom line for this description: Whatever the ARVNs got from the US might often end up in the hands of the rebels (VC).
After the war advanced along in time and the NVA got further and deeper involved (and the HCM trail was operating extremely well) the VC began to get SKS and later AK47s. All of which were supplied by the USSR/Red Chinese (called Chicom weapons during the war) & Warsaw Pact nations.
