USSR/Red China. Contrary to popular opinion, by far, the bulk of the AK47s, grenades, trucks, PT76/T54 tanks, MiG17 jets (J5 series) were CHICOM (Communist Chinese). The Soviets quit sending North Vietnam MiG17s and concentrated solely on MiG21s; the Red Chinese supplied the only MiG19s (J6 versions) to the North Viet AF.
So it looked like this: Only USSR supplied the MiG21 & only Red China supplied the MiG19 to North Vietnam. But both nations supplied Hanoi with the MiG17. Soviets supplied North w/ground defense weapons such as SAMs/radar, etc.

The US, Australia, New Zealand, SOUTH Korea, South Vietnam, Thailand, and the Philippines VS North Vietnam and their Southern Vietnamese Communist allies the Viet Cong. War equipment for the communists was SUPPLIED by the Soviet Union/Red China.
China and Russia. Both were communist at the time. However, they both turned on NV later when Nixon implemented a scheme to befriend both nations so that they applied peace on the NV so that a peace agreement could be made. they both did and NV finally allowed Thieu to remain in power in SV whilst the US withdrawed.
