May 9 in Russia: A Parade Without Its Usual Demonstrations, What to Understand?

Russia will hold its military parade on May 9, 2026, in Red Square, Moscow, without tanks or heavy equipment due to the 'current operational situation.' Ground troops will march, and images of soldiers involved in Ukraine will be shown. An aerial display is also planned, featuring acrobatic patrols and Su-25 aircraft. This decision represents a significant shift from previous parades that included heavy military equipment.
