History

The Campaign “Hanoi-Dien Bien Phu in the Air” against the US Air Force’s operations over Hanoi during 12 days and nights in December 1972 is the pride of the Air Defence and Air Force in particular, and a glorious victory of the Army and nation in general.

The campaign occurred 40 years ago, but no one would forget those historical days when Vietnamese air-defence soldiers, with their bravery, creativity and resourcefulness, defeated the US Army’s attempt to turn Hanoi and other northern cities back to the stone-age.

During 12 days and nights, North VietNam Army used many Sam-2 missle to shot down 84 total US Airforce Aircraft(34 B-52 aircraft included)

The “Hanoi-Dien Bien Phu in the Air” Victory was considered a victory of Vietnam’s ground-to-air people’s warfare, based on 3 forces with the Air Defence and Air Force Service as the core.

The victory also reflected Vietnam’s air defence operational arts. The Vietnamese air-defence forces opened the campaign with a victory on December 18th, 1972, continued it with another important victory on December 20th and concluded the campaign with the key and decisive victory on December 26th. The victory forced the US side to sit down at the Paris Peace Talks and sign the historic Paris Agreement, withdrawing all US military forces from southern Vietnam.
