9 May Parade

The May parade is now being planned. Its not that far away now.

So, what is expected in the parade? The armata fleet again? Something new?

I would appreciate your views.

We have seen in real war scenario the effectiveness of T90 armor. This time I think it would be nice to see active defenses of T90 and Armata in action. Training atgms without warheads can be fired on and it would be a crowd pleaser to watch the real deal projected on screen maybe.

Another thing is many countries operate older tanks like T72 and can't afford to equip new models in enough quantities. Modular active defense equipment and passive sensor,smoke kits that can upgrade the tanks for urban warfare conditions would appeal to that market as well.

Air defence equipment speak for itself like S400-500 and panstyr-tor as usual.

Just up a bit from Red Square is Tsverskaya Ulitsa and it has a display board (huge thing, many meters across and deep, like Piccadilly Circus) which does show such weapons deployed on exercise on a continuous loop. It is fascinating.
