At the event, delegates recalled their heroic traditions and past feats of arms, especially their contributions to firmly protecting the capital's sky during the anti-American war. They took part in hundreds of battles and shot down 67 aircraft, including nine Boeing B-52 bombers of the US Air Force.
The regiment and its constituent units and personnel were honored with the title "Hero of the People's Armed Force", in recognition of their great achievements.
