This guy's a former pilot of the North Vietnamese Air Force (I guess it's just the Vietnamese Air Force now :big-cool:). He served in the 921st Fighter Regiment, and flew an MiG-21.
He's credited with nine air-to-air combat kills against Amerikkkan jet fighters, as well as two AQM-34 UAVs. The nine planes were 3 F-105D's, 2 F-105F's, 2 F-4D's, an F-4F, and an F-102A. These numbers make him the best fighting ace of the entire war, on both sides. :uncle-ho-2:

It’s why I make fun of people who go up and scream “revisionist” at long dead historical figures like Khrushchev. China was able to handle their establishment of a Bukharinist style State Capitalism as the productive forces machine better because they got to see the mistakes of the USSR in real time.
That's true but I think even USSR hadnt made those mistakes the conditions were just better in China. Russia was already basically done with industrialization, didn't have a ridiculously large workforce, and the West saw them as an existential threat.
