Russian Victory Day flypast
Here's a video of this weeks 71 aircraft flypast in Moscow. One for the spotters as they had quite a few types on display ...
Fast forward to 51:20 for the flypast, 41:02 for the drive-by (is that the correct term?) Worth a watch to see the kit the land forces have and led by a WW2 T-34. The marching bit is around 25:00

Quite an impressive turnout.
The method of marching looks to be 'tiring' - and holding a salute must take practice and endurance.
Most of the troops are smiling.

Good observation. Have just returned from Moscow, only invited dignatories in Red Square (I wasn't one of them)... However, all the roads around the Kremlin were lined with spectators. Sadly the RT clip doesn't let you hear the incredible sound of the vehicles and aircraft.
The girls in the white uniforms were stunning!

Noteworthy that there were no AWACs - or their much-lauded T50 - in fly-past?
Also, they need to work on their blue smoke dye. Compare and contrast that with the Red's output and Shuttleworth last w/e.

Pretty impressed by the Flag Party - they were still perfectly aligned and hitting the same angles after goose-stepping the length of Red Square - and that is a lonnggggg walk........
