The usual suspects are there, mostly everything is Soviet era except for the Su57. What is highlighted in the article is the patriotic act of MiG29's:
"For the first time, eight MiG-29SMT fighters will fly over Red Square in flight order in the form of the letter "Z" in support of Russian servicemen - participants in a special military operation in Ukraine," the Russian Defense Ministry said.

The Armata tank is supposed to present itself too. In 2015 it stalled and had to be towed away, although even that didn't seem to work out.

So, despite the rumours of Putin having the V-Day parade in Mariupol he lags the courage and sticks to the Red Square.
