The Russians Love a Big Military Parade (VIDEO)
Throughout Russia this week, large military parades with lots of interesting hardware were showcased as the country celebrated the anniversary of victory in World War II.
The 74th annual parade, held on May 8, commemorates the end of WWII in Europe in 1945. Across the world’s largest country on Wednesday were held no less than 30 large events with the biggest show taking place in Moscow’s Red Square.

Other vintage gear included a WWII Dnepr M-72 motorcycle with a sidecar armed with a DP-28 light machine gun
Don’t forget the obligatory T-34 tank. Russia recently traded the government of Laos for a whole battalion’s worth of these relics the Southeast Asian country had in storage

There was also some newer equipment on hand
Such as this 2S19 Msta 152mm self-propelled howitzer
And these giant pickles
Speaking of newer hardware, these Russian Naval Infantry (marines) brought their AK74Ms
As did these Guards Airborne guys with the funny wife beaters
Meanwhile, one of the neatest smaller events was held in Kola Bay near Murmansk in the Russian Arctic. There a recreation of the Petsamo-Kirkenes offensive of 1944 was staged complete with not only a T-34 and DP-28-armed bike but also all sorts of other vintage hardware to include Mosins and PPSh SMGs.

In all, the Russian military had 57,000 troops, 1,500 vehicles and 139 aircraft on parade duty this week.
