Special equipment helps armored troops parade on Ba Dinh Square

Few people know that to help heavy equipment move safely on asphalt roads serving the A80 mission, thousands of rubber tracks play a significant role.

During the parade mission, the parade to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the August Revolution and the National Day on September 2nd (mission A80), the special mechanized units participated in the training and parade with heavy equipment. However, all of them moved smoothly, accurately, and safely on the asphalt roads from the training grounds to the general training sessions at the National Military Training Center 4 recently.

The above success has a significant contribution from thousands of rubber chains, seemingly small details but playing an extremely important role.

According to the article of Factory Z175 under the General Department of Defense Industry on the preparation for the parade and march to serve the A80 mission, these rubber chain shoes were all manufactured by Factory Z175.

This is a technical solution to help reduce vibration, reduce noise, protect the asphalt road surface, contributing to ensuring absolute safety for vehicles and forces participating in the training and parade. As well as for the parade, the parade will take place at Ba Dinh Square on September 2.

According to Factory Z175, from design, testing to production, everything was carried out with urgent and methodical progress. This process is the result of close coordination between Factory Z175 and Z127, under the direction of the General Department of Defense Industry.
