Russia's defense ministry said 129 units of military equipment will cross Red Square on May 9, in contrast to last year when 191 military vehicles took part.
Rehearsals of the parade in the run-up to the celebration have involved a wide-range of military equipment, including all-terrain vehicles, tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, missile and artillery weapons systems, and missile defense systems, reported Russian state-run outlet RBC.
The day will begin with a parade and display of military equipment at 10 a.m. local time, and a program for veterans, featuring an orchestra and an opera performance will take place in the evening, among other musical performances. The event will end with festive fireworks at 10 p.m. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on April 29 that this year foreign leaders—including Putin's Belarusian ally, Alexander Lukashenko—have not been invited to celebrate Victory Day.
