Preparation for Victory Day Moscow

Just seen an impressive flypast of Soviet hardware approx 1000' over Red Square in preparation for Victory Day.

14 helicopters of various types.

3 Bears in formation.

3 TU-160 in formation.

Mig 25's or 31's I think

Mig 27's and 29's

SU-30's

Various heavy transport aircraft.

Unfortunately didn't have a camera with me typical.

And somewhere in Moscow, brave Soviet veterans BEagleski and Pontious Navigatorski will be posting on PPRuNeski how in their day there would have been 10 times the aircraft in the formation, with as many again as airborne spares.
