Russia Victory day parade Red Square video -127 aircraft . .
Had to change the thread title, as the second post below includes many of the aircraft from today's parade . . .
Original thread title commented on US troops marching in today's parade.
For those that have live thru the cold war, amazing - today United States, French, Polish troops marched alongside over 10,000 Russian troops in today's VE celebrations in Red Square!!!!!!! My late Uncle who was a WWII vet, and involved in UK politics would have been very proud to know this day has actually arrived in my lifetime. Interesting world we live in.
Today's event was the largest showing of Russian military hardware to date . . .

Tell me about it! RT is usually better than that :\
Re: US troops march in Victory Day parade in Russia . . .
That was annoying! Who wants to see their faces when you can look at the aircraft! 21:16 of part two was rather amusing though...linecrew wrote:robbreid wrote:

Gravity lands us, we just make it look good.
Re: Russia Victory day parade Red Square video -127 aircraft
Yep. At least have someone commentate that know what the aircraft are. 21:16 is quite funny "fireworks.... or Chafe!!!" And the last thing I knew the Tu-22M3 wasn't a fighter aircraft.
Besides that, Beautiful aircraft and I am sure the noise was incredible.

Success in life is when the cognac that you drink is older than the women you drink it with.
Re: Russia Victory day parade Red Square video -127 aircraft
Russia still has some Foxbats in service. But chances are they were probably Mig-31 Foxhounds in the video. Hard to tell without the gear down.
