| In the photo is the control panel and the joystick of the Su-30MK2 pilot. The main language on the control panel is Russian. Therefore, if you want to become a Su-30MK2 pilot, one of the necessary and sufficient conditions is to be very good at Russian because all instructions are in this language.

| Technical staff of Regiment 927 are checking the pilot's cockpit before handing over the aircraft to the crew. It can be clearly seen that the control panel, in addition to the indicator clock, is also designed with two very large color LCD screens displaying flight specifications and radar.

| Previously, the main equipment of Regiment 927 was the legendary MiG-21 fighter jets. After the MiG-21 retired, the entire team of commanders, pilots, and technical staff of Regiment 927 was transferred to Regiment 923 (Thanh Hoa) for Su-30MK2 conversion training. In addition, Kep airport was also upgraded and repaired to be ready to receive new aircraft. Photo source: Vietnam Defense Channel |

| At the end of last year, after completing conversion training, Regiment 927 left Thanh Hoa to return to Kep (Bac Giang) to continue its mission of protecting the northern sky with the most modern fighter jets. Photo source: Vietnam Defense Channel |
