As others have noted much of Russia's kit is Soviet-era legacy stuff, especially aviation. Nothing much new here, with the exception of a handful of Su57s. Those May Day flypasts have barely changed in composition for the past 30 years.

The one area they have gone large is in missiles, although again much of this are developments of legacy kit.
