What was the weather like in Moscow today?
 
What was the weather like in Moscow this morning?
TV pictures showed hard shadows and Vlad and those around him squinting in the sunlight - but the Fly-Past of 77 aircraft didn't turn up....?

Just taking sensible precautions in case one of the aircraft develops a wiring fault.

....and the heavies round him with the fake hands talking into their other sleeves
Wonder how many rings of security the civilians had to pass through with their Tulips.

Remember it might be fine in Moscow, but you have to allow for departure fields, route to the form up, the form up area, route home and home bases being clear.,

So they feared one aircraft might get shot down over Moscow or have a kamikaze minded pilot? With handpicked crews?

Thing with the aircraft getting shot down, you cannot cover the whole route, you can probably nail down the centre of Moscow but the rest would be difficult and you fire at one then the rest would scatter, hit or not. Hit one and it would reverberate around the World.

Looks more like an inverted V on his chest, when it should be "X marks the spot".

It also looks like he might be wearing body armour under his coat?
