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.
