9 May Victory Parade live?

[XabbaRus]

Does anyone know if this will be streamed live on the net. Would be cool to see some Russian heavy gear rumbling through Red Square.

[Skybird]

Don't know, but I read they will have Su25s flying down the square, and that would be worth a sight to see. Those planes look great - exactly like a fighterplane should look like. :D

Footage from the 2007 parade is on Youtube, I'm sure the 08 one will find its way on there eventually.

They show T90s. :) Nice, eh - no: evil, bad-tempered looking tanks, especially from the front. Too bad that their RHA value at front is said to be around 850 mm (with Leo2A5 rated with 1600+), the firing sequences is twice as slow as that of a trained M1 or Leo2 crew, and the engine producing just around 700 PS - with Leo2 and M1 running with around 1500 PS. low silhouette, but crowded interior. Hard to hit, but once spotted, it is not really a sprinter, especially not in reverse.

So, nice to look at - but at no cost I would like to fight a Western tank in these. In the end it is just a beefed-up T72.

The Su 25 is a close support/strike plane.;)
But your right I love them too.:D (as long as they aren't used to blow me to pieces..:-?)

Damn typos - Su-27 i mean, of course. The Su-25 looks like a plucked rooster. no need to let their sight ruin a parade. :D

[Schroeder]

That's a matter of taste. I just love the look of the frogfoot.:cool:

[Tchocky]

Su-27 looks beautiful (http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/9/9/0/1342099.jpg).

Su-25 looks MEAN (http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/7/9/1/1328197.jpg).

I think the Mi-24 has a certain brutish beauty (http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-photos/photos/5/5/9/1126955.jpg) to it, too.

And the Bf-109 looks better than the Spitfire. No, im not joking, im being serious.

[Skybird]

A former boss of mine, a correspondent, once told me "the Frogfoot looks like a flying hammer and sickle."


Perfect description! :lol:

The Flankers just scream raw power. They are a hell of an aircraft. I don't think much of them as a weapons system, but a hell of an aircraft.

PD

[Happy Times]

The limousines are hilarious.:lol:

[Jimbuna]

I'm suprised they don't drive around in converted hearses :lol:
