The delivery of F-16 Fighting Falcon fighters to Vietnam will be the largest arms transfer in history between the former Cold War adversaries

The US and Vietnam are discussing arms transfers. The package will probably include fourth-generation F-16 Fighting Falcon multirole fighters.

Here's What We Know

This is reported by the Reuters news agency. The potential agreement is at an early stage, in connection with which the exact terms have not yet been outlined.

It is possible that the US will not sell F-16s to Vietnam. However, it was the fourth-generation fighter jets that were the central topic of discussion during official talks in New York, Washington and Hanoi.

If the deal is agreed upon, we are in for the largest arms transfer in history between the former Cold War adversaries. You don't need to be an expert in geopolitics to realise that China and the Russian federation will not be happy.
