This will be Japan's largest defense export contract ever, and the first time Tokyo has exported large warships since World War II.

Su-30MK2 - "God of the sky" of Vietnam

The Su-30MK2 fighter jet line is one of Vietnam's most modern fighter jets, belonging to the 4++ generation, capable of multi-role combat, long-range flight, carrying many modern weapons and being flexible in combat.

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. Below is a vivid and solemn description of the Su-30MK2 fighter formation flying in preparation for the A80 ceremony — a major celebration, possibly the 80th National Day of a country:

Su-30MK2 fighter formation flying in preparation for the A80 ceremony

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.                                      The roar of the engines resounded like a majestic song in the sky, signaling the sacred moment that was about to come in the A80 ceremony.

The image of Mahmoud Khalil is symbolic.

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.
