May 9 parades across other regions in Russia have been cancelled this year over 'security concerns'.

VLADIMIR Putin paraded nuclear missile launchers, tanks and thousands of war-ready troops this morning ahead of his triumphant Victory Day event.

Ahead of the patriotic event, Russia's fearsome intercontinental nuclear missiles were pulled through the capital's streets in a show of force to the West.

Huge columns of troops marched towards the Red Square and even children in oversized battledress joined in the military festivities.

The real events will be held on Thursday under intense security, with reports suggesting that Moscow's centrepiece show will be scaled back this year.

Last year, Victory Day was also cancelled across a swathe of Russian territories with a pared-down event in Moscow that featured barely any heavy duty military equipment on display.

Like this year, local governors cited "security concerns".

Putin only spoke for 10 minutes and the entire event was over in well under an hour.

Just curious, since there have been a number of stories lately about scaled back Russian Victory Day celebrations due to security concerns; what are the odds the Ukes launch a few drones at Moscow on Thursday???

Even if the Ukes are Stupid enough to do that OR it’s a Russian false flag, things could get sporty by next weekend.

Only nine eight days till Ukraine Democracy Day*!

Mark your calendars! For the Azov guys in Kharkov - prepare your personal parade generators!

*The period of the martial law regime in The Ukraine has been extended until 13 May 2024, but it can be further extended unlimited times.

It would be a tempting target because Victory Day is the most important event in Russia. It would send a message to the Russian people. Putin cannot guarantee protection of his people, even in Moscow.

In the mean time, Russia will keep capturing town after town and grinding the Uke army into dust.

The Uke leadership could have saved so many Uke lives, about 600,000 now, if they had just identified as French and raised the white flag.

Stronk Russian tanks capturing Arkhanhelske, Krasnohorivka, Heorhiivka, Novokalynove, Keramik, Berdychi, Ocheretyne, Kotlyarivka and Robotyne. No time to stop at the "Trophies of the Russian Army" exhibition in Moscow!

Ukies sendink more Ukrainian Marines to get buried next to their dead predecessors at Krynky. Dnepr won't be as colt this time of year!

Brink your parade wet suits, Ukie Marines!
