Despite the delay in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, the Russian Victory Day parade on the 9th of this month was still held as usual, but this year's parade revealed something unusual everywhere.
Many viewers who have watched this military parade may have wondered why the scale of this military parade is so small, almost all of the army phalanx are reserves or military schools, and there are very few equipment phalanxes.
In this case, firstly, because Russia has a Victory Day military parade every year, it is impossible to hold a special event every time, and secondly, the situation on the Russian-Ukrainian front line is still anxious, and military equipment must be used closely on the front line, even if it is enough, it cannot be taken out for people to touch to the end. So it's all simple.
In my opinion, although the equipment displayed in this parade is small, but in combination with Putin's speech, you will find that the atmosphere on Red Square is unprecedented and slaughtered.
Putin's speech did not contain much content, but in a nutshell, there were only two points: the first is that history cannot be distorted and victory cannot be discredited, and the second is that Russia is preparing for war.
The first point, in fact, is not difficult to understand, because the Russian Victory Day is to commemorate the anti-fascist war, so it will start with the T-34 tank with a history of nearly 80 years. In recent years, Western countries led by the United States have tried to use historical nihilism to cover, distort, and deconstruct the indelible contributions of the Soviet Union to the victory of the anti-fascist war.
For Russia, this kind of smear and distortion is unacceptable, at best, the United States is preparing to cut off Russia's roots, but realistically, this is questioning the legitimacy of Russia's seat in the UN Security Council, and even questioning Russia's international status.
Therefore, Putin criticized this behavior of the West at great length, and also called on all countries that have contributed to the victory of the anti-fascist war to resist this behavior of the United States and the West.
As for the second point, it is a strategic judgment based on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. The conflict has dragged on so far, the United States has seen that the threats against Russia have no effect, and Ukraine has been losing ground one after another, and has started to think of nuclear blackmail.
I am afraid that few people know that last year, the United States and Russia conducted a round of nuclear competition over the abolition of the "Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Regulation," and the two sides respectively demonstrated their three-in-one nuclear strike force.
Fortunately, the two sides have not yet reached the point where they lose their minds, and the United States also knows that nuclear blackmail cannot deceive Russia, which is the "hob meat".
But Putin knows very well in his heart that the United States will not die of Russia's heart, and as long as Russia shows a little fatigue, it will inevitably incur a devastating blow from the United States and its allies.
Therefore, there are only three types of strategic equipment displayed at the parade, namely Iskander-M tactical missiles, S400 anti-aircraft missiles, and Yars intercontinental ballistic missiles, which correspond to Russia's conventional strike, nuclear strike, and air defense and anti-missile capabilities. Convey to the outside world: Although the war on the front line is tight, Russia still has a lot of spare strength to deal with all invading enemies. To put it bluntly, tell the United States that if you have the ability, let the horse come, Russia is really not afraid. Therefore, despite the simplicity of the Russian military parade, the atmosphere of slaughter on Red Square is unprecedented.
Putin's words are deafening, and it is precisely from Putin's words that it can be seen that the global conflict is not far away from us, and even only a line away.
