Pic shows poster for the Russian Defender of the Motherland Day.
It is congratulating Russian war veterans.

What is wrong with the posters, which have been taken down quickly? :-j

Hint: It is not the aircraft, it is the battleship.

edit: I just see, it is old news for reviewers. Damn. :)

So the answer would be:

The poster mistakenly displays the US warship USS Missouri.

I found the story here:

Bill Nichols and Drebbel are spoilsports :P

Strangely enough, I've actually been aboard all 4 Iowa class BBs. I snuck aboard the Iowa & Wisconsin when they were mothballed next to our drydock in Philadelphia in 1977. Then I went aboard the Missouri and New Jersey the first two years of Fleet Week in san Francisco in the mid 80's
