The ground shook before the support of Vietnam's Su-30MK2

The ground shook, smoke and dust filled the air, accompanied by huge explosions after the Su-30MK2 squadron attacked the ground to support the armored force.

Support attack

In early 2016, Divisions 370 and 371 (Air Defense - Air Force) organized two live-fire flight and bombing drills at TB-3 Shooting Range for Su-30MK2 and Su-22M4 fighter jets and Mi-8 and Mi-171 helicopters.

This is one of the key tasks in the 2016 training of the units. Through the practice of flying, shooting and throwing during the day and at night, the practical training session has achieved high results, with absolute safety for people and equipment.

Not only attacking the ground with conventional shooting exercises, the Vietnam Air Force also used Su-30MK2 fighters to conduct coordinated attacks and support with armored forces. In October 2014, Division 330 practiced attacking the enemy with fire support from Su-30MK2 fighters and Mi-8 helicopters.

Hit the target precisely.

Specifically, on the morning of October 24, at Chi Lang Shooting Range, the Command of Military Region 9 directed Division 330 to practice commanding agencies at two levels on the map and in the field, with a battalion on the field and a one-sided command exercise for the Brigades of the military branches coordinated with Division 370 (Air Defense - Air Force).

Thanks to good organization, proper execution and the efforts of the soldiers, the exercise achieved good results, ensuring absolute safety for people and equipment. Through the exercise, Military Region 9 improved its combat readiness and combat coordination.

During the above exercise, the most modern Su-30MK2 fighter jets of the Vietnam People's Army openly displayed their multi-purpose, superior and powerful combat capabilities.

The exercise was assessed by Lieutenant General Nguyen Phuong Nam, member of the Party Central Committee and Commander of Military Region 9, as having achieved good results, with participating units excellently completing their assigned tasks.

Combat coordination

Drills are considered the highest level of comprehensive training, close to combat reality and the best conditions for soldiers to practice and apply knowledge into practice.

For the armored force, in recent times, most units have contributed and participated in the success of exercises, especially large-scale, inter-service joint exercises.

Armored forces opened fire.

In difficult and complicated combat situations such as attacking airborne enemies or attacking enemy defense positions, armored forces coordinated well with air defense forces - air force, artillery, suppressing and stopping the enemy.

At the same time, the infantry quickly supported the troops to occupy the battlefield and destroy the target. This result partly reflects the serious and focused training process of the units.

In new combat conditions, modern warfare also poses many problems in the training and combat of armored forces. The focus is on training to improve mobility and maximize the advantage of strong firepower.

Coordination and cooperation between forces and effective application of information technology in the process of operating, commanding and training combat. All of these contents continue to be raised by the armored corps and required units to handle and resolve in the two-level one-sided command and staff exercise in the Southern region.

Not only stopping at a specific location or unit, specific situations in the exercise are presented in depth, close to each location, each army corps and armored units.

The maturity and good fighting ability of soldiers do not only come from the training process, the persistent hard work, not only from the long training time but above all, it must come from practical lessons close to combat conditions. And this direction is being effectively implemented by armored units.
