Vietnam's New T-6C Texan II Fleet: A Historic Step in Air Force Modernization

On November 18, 2024, Vietnam marked a historic milestone by receiving its first batch of five Beechcraft T-6C Texan II aircraft—the first U.S.-manufactured military aircraft delivered to Vietnam since the Vietnam War. This delivery symbolizes a deepening defense partnership between Vietnam and the United States and a significant step in Vietnam's air force modernization efforts.

The T-6C Texan II, a versatile turboprop aircraft designed for pilot training and maritime surveillance, bridges critical gaps in Vietnam’s defense capabilities. Operated by the 920th Regiment at Phan Thiet Military Airport, these aircraft enhance training, patrols within Vietnam’s EEZ, and operational readiness with state-of-the-art navigation and communication systems.

Vietnam’s acquisition of 12 T-6Cs reflects a strategic pivot from aging Soviet-era equipment, highlighting a broader shift in defense cooperation and addressing regional challenges in the South China Sea. Explore how this cutting-edge platform is reshaping Vietnam’s air force and its growing partnership with the U.S. in this transformative era of defense modernization.
