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.
