This year’s Victory Day military parade in Moscow’s\u00a0Red Square featured a single WWII-era tank.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Russia’s war with Ukraine has resulted in the loss of thousands of tanks.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

Russia has, at times, sent out obsolete Soviet-era tanks onto the front lines.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Russia often uses its annual Red Square military parade in Moscow as an opportunity to show off its weaponry. This year’s showing was a bit lackluster, and its modern tanks were again absent.<\/p>\n
While a range of tanks, both new and old, are typically present in the May 9 Victory Day military parade, which commemorates the lives lost and victory achieved when the Soviet Union defeated Nazi Germany in 1945, in this year’s event, there was only one WWII-era T-34 on display.<\/p>\n
