VLADIMIR Putin paraded nuclear missile launchers, tanks and thousands of war-ready troops this morning ahead of his triumphant Victory Day event.
The Russian tyrant, 71, has already had to axe most of the May 9 celebrations - the most sacred day in the Russian calendar - but Moscow's will go ahead.
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.
Victory Day parades are held throughout Russia as a means of celebrating the country's defeat of Nazi Germany in World War 2.
It is a means of showcasing the might of the Russian military machine and garner national pride - led by a giant parade in Moscow's Red Square overseen by Putin.
WAVE OF CANCELLATIONS Last week, Putin was forced to cancel parades across Russia over apparent fears of Ukrainian kamikaze drone attacks.
Many regional parades have been scrapped along with their fireworks displays.

gun-touting? The English sure do struggle with the English language.
Don’t worry. It’s all fake cardboard stuff.
The English language?
No, Putty poots toys. I read it here on a Zeeper thread.
As for the English language, it’s gone the way of the English Common Law. Who wouldn’t want Sharia law instead.
I wasn’t worried about Russia’s weapons. That’s why I didn’t even address it.
If it was an immigrant who wrote the headline I’ll give them a break.
They undoubtedly learned English from the English.
lol!
Russian media published a list of foreign leaders who will reportedly be present at the Victory day parade in Moscow on 9th May:
◾️Belarus
◾️Kazakhstan
◾️Kyrgyzstan
◾️Tajikistan
◾️Turkmenistan
◾️Cuba
◾️Laos
◾️Guinea-Bissau
They invade Georgia 9 months later.
The parade of military stuff is no real biggy. But what I found bothersome was that huge hammer and sickle being proudly displayed. Is that display of some historic value or a clue they want to bring back the USSR?

USSR and they have said so, to include all old Soviet territories & wherever Russian is a major language.
Why was the main Russian parade cancelled?
Fear of being attacked by drones
Guess Ukraine isn’t finished yet, huh?
You are wrong.
