The only tank the Russians brought to their „victory day“ parade today was a WWII Ukraine-developed (Kharkiv) T-34. All other vehicles were wheeled ones. The air part of the parade was predictably cancelled. It looked like a parade of a 3rd class dictatorship, what it also was.

Strelkov:
Was a parade on Red Square necessary today? My answer: yes, it was needed - to show that we are not afraid and are true to tradition. But the composition of the parade (only a few types of heavy equipment) raises questions. It is clear that the Tamanskaya and Kantemirovskaya divisions (which traditionally paraded combat armored vehicles) are almost entirely at the front. But, what does it mean for only a company of wheeled armored personnel carriers based on KAMAZ to pass through the area (by the way, in all the main parameters, these armored personnel carriers are WORSE than the standard BTR-80 and BTR-90 - both in terms of cross-country ability, and in terms of maneuverability, and in terms of armament.

As for armor protection - I don't know. Is it easier to manufacture and cheaper)? Well, another column of S-300s and Yars of the Strategic Missile Forces. But other? Out of stock at all? Is everyone at the front?
Maybe, in this case, it was worth limiting ourselves only to parade crews on foot?

For that, the foot Cossacks pleased. With daggers ... it's a pity - the archers have not been revived yet. Their passage with reeds at the ready would have caused a sensation ... and still missing was Prigozhin with a sledgehammer and in a red executioner's cap. But I'm already snarky, of course ...

Strelkov:
There is a fierce shelling of Gorlovka.
Perhaps the offensive has begun or is about to begin. I remind you: I predicted the main attack on the Zaporozhye front, auxiliary ones - on the Kherson and (possibly) - on the Donetsk.

Distracting strikes can be inflicted on the “old border” (Belgorod, Kursk, Bryansk regions) in order to capture several settlements and provoke the RF Armed Forces to storm them (until they are completely destroyed).

Let’s see if my predictions come true.

(And, yes, I would be happy to be wrong, but I have little optimism).
