What equipment will be held at the victory parade
The Ministry of Defense spoke about the main innovations of the Victory parades, which will be held on May 9 in 28 cities of Russia. The corresponding section was opened on the official website of the department on Friday. More than 90,000 servicemen will take part in the solemn ceremony dedicated to the 72nd anniversary of the end of the Great Patriotic War.
As a rule, Victory parades in all cities are held according to the same pattern. However, the organizers bring something new to the ceremony every year. May 9, 2017 will not be an exception.
Arctic technology
This year, for the first time, military equipment designed specifically for our Arctic group will pass on the cobblestones of Red Square in Moscow. It will be represented by air defense systems already deployed on Franz Josef Land - approximately at the 80th latitude. These are Pantsir-SA short-range anti-aircraft missile and gun systems and Tor-M2DT short-range anti-aircraft missile systems. Both systems are mounted on the basis of two-link tracked all-terrain vehicles DT-30 Vityaz. This choice of chassis significantly increased the mobility and maneuverability of anti-aircraft systems.
On tests, the Vityaz climbed the wall of an almost sheer ravine without any problems, overcame water obstacles without slowing down, and walked at full speed over rough terrain. These opportunities are vital for the Arctic region - not every combat vehicle can cross the fields of hummocks, as well as areas of open water. "Pantsir-SA" and "Tor-M2DT" will be the only vehicles that will pass through Red Square in winter camouflage colors.
New aircraft for aces
Traditionally, famous Russian aerobatic teams in jet fighters will perform in front of the audience at the final of the air part of the Victory Parade in Moscow. And if the Swifts pass over Red Square on the usual MiG-29s, then the Russian Knights will demonstrate the Su-30SM link to the general public for the first time. The group received these heavy fighters from the Irkut corporation only in the fall of 2016. They are simpler and more convenient to operate than the Su-27, which the Russian Knights used to fly. And the AL-31FP engines with thrust vector control allow pilots to perform complex aerobatic maneuvers with less effort.
Su-30 fighters have been baptized by fire in Syria, where they perform combat missions to escort and cover our bombers and attack aircraft. According to the reviews of the military, the car showed itself from the best side.

By the way, this year aviation will take part in the Victory Parade in St. Petersburg for the first time. Mi-8, Mi-26, Mi-35, Mi-28N, Ka-52 helicopters, Su-27, MiG-29SMT, MiG-31BM, Su-35, Su-34 fighters, transport aircraft An-12, An-26 and Tu-134 - more than 40 units. In 2015, we recall, in the celebrations dedicated to the 70th anniversary of the Victory, tanks passed through the Northern capital for the first time.
Baltic complexes
In Kaliningrad, at the Victory Parade, the Bal and Bastion coastal defense missile systems will be demonstrated for the first time. The Baltic Fleet received these systems just the other day - in mid-April. These systems are capable of effectively hitting surface ships with Kh-35 and Oniks missiles at distances up to 500 kilometers. Similar systems have taken up combat duty in the Crimea and the Kuriles. According to Western analysts, Russian coastal defense weapons, when deployed jointly with S-400 air defense systems and Iskander operational-tactical missile systems, can completely block the access of a potential enemy to certain areas of the world.

This year, representatives of the youth patriotic movement "Yunarmiya" will take part in the parade for the first time. Recall that it was created on October 29, 2015 with the joint participation of the Ministry of Defense, DOSAAF of Russia and the Central Army Sports Club. The main goal of the movement is to arouse interest among the younger generation in geography, the history of Russia and its peoples, heroes, outstanding scientists and military leaders. Any student, military-patriotic organization, club or search party can join the movement.
To date, the "Yunarmiya" includes more than 30 thousand young Russians aged 11 to 18 years. Many of them, along with adults, will walk in parade boxes along the central squares of Russian cities - Moscow, Khabarovsk, Nizhny Novgorod and others. A distinctive sign is a bright red uniform beret.
In addition to the Yunarmiya members, soldiers and officers of the 61st Separate Marine Brigade of the coastal troops of the Northern Fleet, based in the village of Sputnik, Murmansk Region, will become debutants at the Victory Parade in the capital. This unit has a glorious military history, but it has not yet marched on the cobblestones of Red Square on May 9th.
New old tank
T-72B3M tanks will be demonstrated for the first time at the Victory Parade in Moscow. Many media this week published photos of these cars taken at the rehearsal of the celebration in Alabino near Moscow.
The variant of the T-72B3 tank itself has long been known to the public. Such equipment has been participating in the "Tank Biathlon" for several years now, and is massively being used by military units throughout the country. It is assumed that the T-72B3, along with the T-90, will form the basis of the Russian tank forces until the promising Armata enters the troops en masse. However, the T-72B3M modification is completely new, first introduced in 2016.

These tanks even outwardly differ from the previous versions - mainly due to the Relikt dynamic protection complex and lattice anti-cumulative screens on the engine compartment and the "back of the head" of the tower. In addition, this machine has improved the operation of the automatic loader, the engine has been significantly strengthened, and the fire control system (FCS), according to open sources, has been replaced with the latest Kalina. This MSA is installed, in particular, on the promising T-14 Armata tank.
