Military vehicles and artillery continue to march towards the center of Hanoi.

Early on the morning of August 20, convoys of tanks, military artillery and many other types of weapons continued to move to assembly points in the center of Hanoi to prepare for the parade to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day on September 2.

On the evening of August 19, the Parade Subcommittee for the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day continued to organize the movement of military equipment from the National Military Training Center 4 (Phuc Son Commune, Hanoi) to assembly points in the center of the capital.

The convoy moved from Ho Chi Minh Road through National Highway 21A to Thang Long Avenue, then turned to the streets of Le Quang Dao - Le Duc Tho - Ho Tung Mau - Pham Van Dong - Hoang Minh Thao - Vo Chi Cong - Au Co - Nghi Tam - Cua Bac and ended at Nguyen Tri Phuong.

The artillery guns moving on the streets are of interest to many people. Among the artillery types owned by the Artillery Corps of the Vietnamese Army, there are many modern types such as: 122mm D-30 howitzer; 130mm M46 field artillery; 152mm D-20 howitzer; 152mm 2S3 self-propelled artillery; BM-21 Grad multiple rocket launcher; SCUD tactical ballistic missile system. Some of these types will be displayed at the parade on September 2.
