Nice gesture if true

Yes. Hope it is true. Btw, by what time or date can we get a glimpse of the marching contingent from other countries? All foreign contingents too will be joining the rehearsals before the V-Day, so there must be a full dressed rehersal before 9 May...

That is not what you believe it is a cotton candy machine with 10km firing range, can accurately hit mouth sized targets.

I hope they make a HERMES armed, wheeled tank hunter.

Well the Hermes-A will be in tests this and next year if i am correct, so it will take little bit more time.

How long before Japanese fans make a female-T-15 combo anime?

They have a whole series of weird aviation ones.

I hope you're not talking about a T-15 version of those freaky anthropomorphic drawings of aircraft fucking though.

BT-7 is seen on parade here, merely about 75 years ago. BT-7 was all the rage back then; it was the talk of all of the "forums" at that time.

Around that time, T-34 and KV-1 existed, but "none" of the forums had heard of them.

Regarding this parade, if there is anything i'm not particularly fond of is the smile/grin. I know the soldiers are supposed to do that when they pass in front of the officials (to show happiness for past victories or whatever the official reason for it is), but really the result is not that impressive (some folks forget to, some can't fake it etc.). I think just keeping a dead serious face is far more intimidating (which is also what the parade is for anyway, to show your country's might and technological prowess), after all these are the peoples and weapons that will defend the country and waste any foreign enemy, there is nothing to smile about that.

When Putin is watching you better smile.

Hmm. Looks like some of the Boomerang vehicles will have Epoha-lite.

That is going to look funky in parade formation.

Serbian Guard Officers Head to Moscow for Victory Day Parade

Earlier in April, Sputnik Serbia confirmed that the Serbian military would take part in the parade after receiving an invitation from Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

BELGRADE (Sputnik) — A unit of the Serbian Army Guard left its military base near Belgrade on Saturday to participate in rehearsals for May 9 Victory Day military parade in Moscow.

In total, 75 Serbian guard officers, including two women, will take part in Moscow's ceremonial parade.

The Serbian guard officers, who had never participated in military parades abroad in nation's modern history, were sent off from Batajnica military airbase some 20 kilometers (12 miles) northwest of Belgrade.

Chief of the General Staff of the Serbian Armed Forces Gen. Ljubisa Dikovic and Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Chepurin were present at the ceremony.

"The Serbian delegation headed by the president will also be present at the [Victory Day] parade. We appreciate it and realize that Serbia puts its best foot forward," Russian Ambassador to Serbia Alexander Chepurin told reporters.

Over 700 Foreign Servicemen to Take Part in Moscow Victory Day Parade
The upcoming Moscow parade commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Soviet victory over Nazi Germany will be the largest one in Russia's modern history.

Some 16,000 troops from the Russian Armed Forces will take part in the ceremony along with ten foreign parade teams with a total number of 732 people, according to Russian military officials.

Leaders of at least 25 countries, including Serbia's President Tomislav Nikolic, will attend the parade.

If it was flying the Soviet flag I would've said it's our "Comissar" going to the parade

Well you have that CCCP on the windshield so there's that.

Just a little additional info here:

In terms of international politics, Serbia as a country right now, is kind of like a person who is strapped with explosives, with gun pointed at his head, while being tied to electric-chair which is located inside a gas-chamber.

So us sending army unit to parade in Moscow is no small gesture. And I can't wait to hear frustrated tantrums of all those egotistical Brussels paper pushers!

Especially since traitors in Serbian government are pushing for NATO membership, of a terrorist organisation that few years ago has killed Serbians purposely targeting civilians because the Serbian military was far to strong and to effecient with decoys and Air Defence.

Those in Serbia who push for NATO membership should be hanged in public for cynical raping their own country and their people.
