🇷🇺❗⚡ Russia’s 81st Victory Day Parade Goes Hardware-Free Amid Ukraine War

Moscow’s iconic May 9 Victory Day parade will take place without tanks, missiles or armored vehicles for the first time in nearly two decades.

Citing the “current operational situation,” the Defense Ministry has scrapped the traditional heavy equipment column, a hallmark of Kremlin military displays.

Foot soldiers and an aerial flyover will remain. The scaled-back event on the 81st anniversary of Soviet victory over Nazi Germany underscores the strain of the Ukraine conflict, with much equipment committed to the front and heightened fears of Ukrainian strikes on the capital.
