Legendary T-34 tanks, SU-100V self-propelled guns and S-400 air defense systems are only some of more than 150 military hardware that participated in a rehearsal of the Victory Parade on Red Square held in the late hours of April 27.
Over 11,000 servicemen marched across the square to the music performed by a combined military orchestra. The rehearsal was not complete since military units from the U.S., the UK and France, that will also take part in the Victory Parade on May 9, were not here. It did not include military aircraft either since pilots are training for the air show at Kubinka airport near Moscow.
Due to the rehearsal on Red Square, traffic restrictions were imposed in downtown Moscow. Civilian cars on the city’s streets were replaced by military vehicles.
Before the military parade on May 9 there will be three more full-scale rehearsals featuring military equipment on April 29, May 4 and 6. At daybreak on May 6 the final rehearsal will be held.
