Russia's navy has been forced to cancel its annual flagship event in St Petersburg, in a humiliating blow for Vladimir Putin. Navy Day is a major national holiday and is held on the last Sunday of July, celebrated by the public and military alike.
The event is used by the Kremlin to show off its latests ships and technology, as it attempts to project its naval power to the watching world. As the maritime capital of Russia, St Petersburg holds a Main Naval Parade along the River Neva, which is normally attended by the Russian president. Usually ships from the Northern, Pacific, Baltic and Black Sea fleets take part in the jamboree.
Last year about 200 ships and vessels were part of the flotilla that made its way along the river from the mouth of the Baltic Sea, cheered on by crowds crammed on the embankment.
However, the committee organising this year's event has confirmed the parade will not go ahead this Sunday (July 27). At the same time concerts and fireworks displays that were part of the celebrations have also been cancelled.

It’s called wisdom....with nutso “Z” not caring if he starts WWIII.
Lots of traffic by ground and air.
Well advertised.
Concentration of high value targets.
A drone attack waiting to happen.
Smart to cancel.
I think we are all too afraid of WWIII.
It is overblown and unlikely to play out as you all fear.
I barely give it a passing thought as a severe consequence of my recommendations here.
Face it. The silicon chip and the resulting technologies have made naval surface combatants obsolete death traps.
Even if something happens it won’t last long, and the boys will be back home in a week, two tops.
July, 1914

If they held the parade, perhaps Z would provide the fireworks.
And drones have made tanks and armored vehicles multi-million dollar rolling coffins.
The people of Ukraine have protested in the streets this week about corruption and you need to be distracted.

The UK Express should stick with their shovel and washing machine stories.
Did you call off your Jihad on President Trump?
Yet North Korea and Russia are both on big tank and armor buildups.
The Ukes are using drones to literally hunt down individual Russian soldiers and blow them up. Some of these ''soldiers'' are actually men in their late '50s and '60s! The looks of horror and desperation on some of their faces when they realize they're about to be atomized is chilling and tanks and armored vehicles? Forget it. Drones turn those things into Roman candles in a heart beat. A few hundred bucks or less and a multi-million weapons system is turned into junk.
He can use a glass-bottomed boat to review the fleet.
