Having the spare parts to keep the Petyas sailing is good, but the priority should be to continue building the corvettes - sort of extended Tarantul - that are done locally. The Petyas are useless for anything but training nowadays...

Yeay! Time to necro a years-old thread; I've always wanted to do this! Though honestly, I was surprised that there wasn't another more recent thread on the Vietnam People's Navy.
Anyways, the Japanese have agreed to provide six vessels to the Vietnamese government for "coastal enforcement" capabilities. While the specific types of vessels aren't identified, the Asahi Shimbun calls them "used vessels that can be converted into patrol boats", which leads me to believe that the are Japanese Coast Guard boats vice Maritime Self-Defense Force ships. Included in the deal will be training on "coastguard and fisheries surveillance" according to the BBC, and the Asahi also mentions that they are going to the Vietnamese Coast Guard vice Vietnamese military due to legal restrictions.
Also included in the deal: radar equipment. Apparently, the deal should be finalized by the end of the year.
Edited to add: to me, the deal is more interesting because of who is involved in it than necessarily the equipment per se.
