Russia has staged its biggest military parade, marking 70 years since victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.

Thousands of troops marched across Red Square in Moscow, and new armour was displayed for the first time.

Many foreign dignitaries were present, but most Western leaders stayed away because of Russia's role in Ukraine.

President Vladimir Putin said global co-operation had been put at risk in recent years. His Ukrainian counterpart accused him of justifying aggression.

In his opening speech, President Putin paid tribute to the sacrifices of Soviet troops during World War Two. He also thanked "the people of Great Britain, France and the United States for their contribution to victory".

But he added: "In recent decades the basic principles of international co-operation have been ignored ever more frequently. We see how a military-bloc mentality is gaining momentum."



Well, it looks like they put on quite a show! It's disappointing that he said what he did about the Western leaders, but I can't say I'm surprised.

interesting, that tank has a lot of flat angles on the turret, i shudder to think it will be ineffective vers say a german leopard 2A5+ and a challanager 2, while an M1 of any conversion will get toasted just with gas mileage.
