Viet Nam war - Khe Sanh -1968


Recommended Posts

Since 1962, the United States and South Vietnam have built an air-army base in a remote valley near the Vietnam-Laos border area, which is strategically significant due to its proximity to the famous Truong Son Trail route. . In 1962, this base was first used by the Green Berets, the United States, to start reconnaissance missions into Laos. The strategic location of Khe Sanh thus caused many obstacles for the logistics from the North to the Southern battlefield.

 

This is the first battle of the Vietnam People's Army with the cooperation contract of armored forces and infantry forces. And for the first time, the PT76 tank wich was built by Soviet was put into action. 

 

Regardless of intelligence reported that the "Viet Cong" had tanks, but the initial attack of PT-76 still shocked the US side seriously and could not take action.
