Red Square Hosts Spectacular Tribute to Soviet Sacrifice
Russia’s iconic Red Square transformed into a stage of history and honor on Friday as the nation commemorated the 80th anniversary of victory in the Soviet Union’s Great Patriotic War. Over 9,000 troops marched in synchronized precision, accompanied by tanks, missile systems, and fighter jets roaring overhead — a reminder of past bravery and modern military prowess.
President Vladimir Putin addressed the crowd, emphasizing the event’s symbolic importance amid current global tensions. ‘Victory Day unites all generations,’ he declared, while flowers were laid at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
📸 The parade blended retro flair with 21st-century tech: Soldiers wore WWII-era uniforms alongside cutting-edge hypersonic missile launchers. International observers noted the event’s dual role — honoring history while showcasing Russia’s defense capabilities.
