Russia parades its military might

Ballistic missiles, battle tanks and other heavy weaponry have rolled through Moscow's Red Square in the annual Victory Day parade, marking the defeat of Nazi Germany more than 60 years ago. But this year's parade, seen as a revival of a Soviet era tradition, was also there to demonstrate the growing military confidence of the new Russia. Jonah Hull reports from Moscow.

When russia has a military parade, according to western media its aggressive intent.

When the US invades a foreign country becuase they feel like it (WMD rumors) its defending our freedom? wtf hypocrits.

@JoJo1955 those officers like the ones on 1:04 are WW2 vets and have earned those medals and have the right to put em on and wear them with pride.

Please that all of that shit is from 1980.. One drone and one of our new jets cost more and could take all of that on alone...all we need to do is refuel it and re-arm it.

WTF? Are these people in the video mentally ill or something? It's the 9th May Victory parade reminding the people of the Nazi's defeat if I am not mistaken.

PS - youpon1000 with you i agree completely and vancouver13 you are a complete idiot. Stop listening/reading propaganda and look at the real things. Oh and GoHomeApes you can go fuck yourself. I'm not going to think of any fancy word or something just go fuck yourself. :>

I'm a Liberal American and I think Russia and America need to work to reduce tensions for global peace.

I had a sigh of relief when Obama stopped the Bush-Aggresion Plan to establish a missle defense system in Poland
