Moscow, May 9 (RHC)-- Thousands of Russian servicemen and women, along with the most advanced and battle-tested equipment, paraded through Red Square for the annual Victory Day celebrations in Russia.
More than 10,000 soldiers and officers took part in the parade marking the 72nd anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany in World War II. On show, some 100 state-of-the-art pieces of military vehicles.
Units representing all branches of Russia’s military -- the Ground Forces, the Air Force, the Navy, the Marines, the Strategic Missile Forces, Airborne Troops as well as the National Guard -- marched in Moscow on Tuesday.
For the first time, mobile air defense systems that guard the air space of the Russian Arctic were presented, including the TOR-M2DT and Pantsir-SA missile systems.
During his remarks at the parade in Red Square, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that World War II taught Russia to be vigilant and ready for any assault. But he also called for international unity in the fight against terrorism.
The Russian president said: "Our forces are capable of repelling any kind of attack, but to efficiently combat terrorism, Nazism, extremism, what we need is the consolidation of international community."
