This time the rich man did his homework. There are several military-related museums and memorial halls in Hanoi, Vietnam. Among them, the Vietnam Air Force Museum has the most tanks and fighter jets on display, but it is about 4.5 kilometers away from the Old Quarter. It's a bit far away, Grab Bike takes about 15 minutes. Coming here reminds me of SeoulWar Memorial of Korea, but the style and content are a little different, let’s take a look.
tickets
The ticket price is 30,000 VND for adults and free for children. I don’t know if it’s because the little rich guy is wearing a police uniform (laughs).
Exhibition area introduction
The Vietnam Air Force Museum can be divided into indoor exhibition areas (1) and outdoor exhibition areas (2 ~ 12).
Indoor exhibition area
The great portrait of Ho Chi Minh welcomes you to the Vietnam Air Force Museum. In fact, the screens on both sides are playing some war documentary films, but the screens are not turned on. You can always hear the war sound effects in the films in the memorial hall, which is quite impressive.
The machine gun used to shoot down US aircraft.
The Vietnam People's Air Force (VPAF) was established in 1954 and records its history from its establishment to the present.
Battlefield motorcycle.
It displays the training records, uniforms and flight suits of North Vietnamese ace pilots, various equipment, fighter weapons, downed American fighter planes and other items.
Commemorating the first Vietnamese astronaut. Unexpectedly, the first astronaut from an Asian country to enter space turned out to be from Vietnam. Phạm Tuân (Vietnamese: Phạm Tuân) entered space aboard the Soviet Soyuz 37 in 1980. , and finally stayed in space for 8 days and successfully completed the mission.
Astronaut's working space in space. It's so small, so hard work.
Communist countries in the world include China, North Korea, etc.
Some Vietnamese oil paintings commemorating the war.
Outdoor exhibition area
The outdoor exhibition area displays various surface-to-air missile systems, which are lined up in a very spectacular way.
The A37 bomber once destroyed 24 aircraft parked at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City in 1975, which was a great achievement.
The Soviet-made K-25 and MI-24 helicopters are quite special twin-rotor models. The two-layer rotors work together to generate lift and can offset each other's anti-torque by rotating in opposite directions, so there is no need to install a vertical propeller at the tail.
The MI-6 transport helicopter, the rich man has been observing it for a long time. The length is more than 30 meters and the height is close to 10 meters. It is really very big and spectacular. I didn’t expect that there is such a big helicopter. MI- 6 The transport helicopter is not only big, it also has the fastest flying helicopter and the record for the largest load capacity.
The fisheye that can climb into the fuselage can see the interior of the helicopter. It is very spacious, with two rows of seats, and is claimed to be able to transport 100 soldiers. The fish eyes are densely written with English and numbers, maybe they are airborne positions and operation code names during combat, right?
Some ground armed tanks, trucks, radar vehicles, and missile trailers were all manufactured by the Soviet Union.
The trainer aircraft used by the Vietnam Air Force Academy to train the first batch of pilots.
Various radar vehicles made in the Soviet Union.
The MiG-17 fighter jet that once hit a U.S. destroyer in the East China Sea was also the prototype copied by China's Shenyang Aircraft Industry Company when it produced the J-5. The MiG-21 F96 fighter jet is the first batch of fighter jets of the Vietnam People's Air Force. It participated in the air defense campaign and shot down many American B52 bombers.
The red stars on the fuselage represent that it has shot down many enemy aircraft.
The wreckage of another downed US B52 bomber.
There are also some ground troops on display.
Various types of anti-aircraft machine guns and anti-aircraft guns. These anti-aircraft guns should not be underestimated. They played a huge role in successfully shooting down many American B52 bombers during the Vietnam War.
rich man experience
The rich man felt that the exhibits at the Vietnam Air Force Museum were very rich and displayed the weapons used by non-American forces in the war. It was worth spending some time to learn more about the Vietnam War. The fighter jets and helicopters displayed in the outdoor exhibition area are also very sincere and there are a lot of them. The rich man highly recommends them. It is about 20 minutes’ drive from Hanoi Old Town! If you are short on time, you can also refer to the nearby B52 Victory Museum in the city.
