A80 Festival – Symbol of National Pride
A80 Festival is a grand event to honor generations of soldiers and affirm the strength of military modernization. The organization of a demonstration flight of Su-30MK2 fighters is not only a high-tech performance, but also carries deep political and spiritual values, affirming Vietnam's defense position in the region and the world.

Against the brilliant blue sky of the early morning, five Su-30MK2 fighters spread their wings powerfully like steel arrows, simultaneously soaring into the air, forming a proud "arrow" formation.

Under the skillful control of elite pilots, each Su-30MK2 not only demonstrated its superior air defense power but also became a symbol of national pride. The red - yellow - blue smoke gently trailed behind the tail of the aircraft, adding brilliant colors to the sky of the Fatherland.
This flight demonstration not only demonstrates modern aviation technology but also carries the message: “Sovereignty – Peace – Development”. From afar, the fighter jets seem to be writing invisible lines in the sky: “A80 – Strong – Timeless”.
This is not simply a military performance. It is a solemn greeting from the sky to the motherland, a symbol of rising high, ready to protect peace, opening a new era in the 80-year journey of formation and development.
