Vladimir Putin Shows Off Russia's Terrifying Firepower As 10,000 Soldiers by cristianisraeli: 4:52pm On May 09, 2017 |
Vladimir Putin shows off Russia's terrifying firepower as 10,000 soldiers march through Red Square in huge military parade to mark victory over the Nazis Huge Victory Day military parade in Moscow involves 10,000 troops and more than 100 units of equipment Russian President Vladimir Putin was in attendance as well as former Kremlin leader Mikhail Gorbachev The annual Red Square march in Moscow marks the defeat of Hitler's Nazi Germany in the Second World War Fly-past scrapped due to weather despite attempt to guarantee sunshine by 'spiking clouds' with chemicals Vladimir Putin is today staging a vast military parade showcasing Russia's firepower, and hailing as heroes his troops who have seen service in Syria. The annual Red Square march in Moscow marks the defeat of Hitler in the Second World War, but the Russian president was using it today to showcase the Kremlin's modern military might. Putin was personally taking the salute at the parade involving 10,000 troops and 114 units of military equipment. However plans to send 72 aircraft overhead were defeated by the weather - despite the Kremlin spending £1.3 million to spike the clouds with a chemical cocktail to supposedly guarantee sunshine. The fly-past was grounded because of low cloud, thwarting Putin's bid to showcase his air force and honour Russian pilots who have served in Syria. The Soviet 'weather changing' technology successfully prevented rain on Putin's parade but failed to disperse the thick low cloud so only a display of armoured vehicles and missile systems went ahead. Putin told the annual commemoration: 'We will always guard Russia just as you, the soldiers of the Victory, did. 'And [we will] strengthen the traditions of patriotism, loyally serving the homeland. 'The lessons of the past war force us to be vigilant and the Russian Armed Forces are ready to repel any potential attack.' He vowed: 'There was no, there is no and there will be no force that could ever enslave our people. 'They fought to the bitter end, defending their homeland, and did what seemed impossible, they turned the bloody wheel of the Second World War back, drove the enemy from our land where it dared to come, crushed Nazism, put an end to its atrocities. 'And we will never forget that it was our fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers who brought the freedom to Europe and the long-awaited peace on the planet.' The Russian president personally took the salute at the parade. But a fly-past of 72 aircraft was cancelled. This meant no display by Russia's Sukhoi Su-30SM fighter jets, which have seen combat action recently in Syria. A debut Victory Day march was scheduled for schoolchildren in Russia's new 'Yunarmia', a 30,000-strong militarised patriotic movement nicknamed the Putin Youth Army and established by the Defence Ministry. It was scheduled to begin at 10am in Moscow, 8am London time, with other commemorations held in cities across Russia's 11 time zones. On display in Moscow was the the newly developed Tor-M2DT short-range anti-aircraft missile system and the Pantsir-SA surface-to-air missile system, both designed to operate in the Arctic. The air display included a first outing at the Victory Day event for the Sukhoi Su-30SM fighter jets, which have seen combat action recently in Syria. On display too were the T-72B3M variant of the T-72 main battle tank. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4487306/Putin-shows-Russia-s-firepower Thousands of armed military personnel marched in formation through Red Square on a day of celebrations in Moscow Dozens of tanks rumbled through Red Square as troops saluted Putin during the massive military parade in Red Square today The Russian president was personally taking the salute as at the parade involving 10,000 troops, 114 units of military equipment and 72 aircraft As well as tanks and troops, this Russian Yars RS-24 intercontinental ballistic missile system was driven through Red Square
