Financial Times: Moscow shows its military mettle in run-up to Victory Day parade
Russia paraded some of its most modern military gear, including the world’s most advanced tank, through the streets of Moscow on Monday in a rehearsal for a massed parade to mark the 70th anniversary of victory in the second world war on Saturday.
The decision by President Vladimir Putin to stage a display of cutting-edge weapons sends a powerful message about Moscow’s determination to project its power in its neighbourhood and globally.
During the hour-long rehearsal on Red Square on Monday night, the Armata T-14 was fully shown in public for the first time. Russian defence analysts say that with its remotely-controlled turret and an automatic loading system for its gun, the tank is superior to all existing tanks.
WNU Editor: The "big parade" will occur this Saturday. RT usually carries it live .... which I will link to in a post on that day.

I do not know myself .... usually it is mid-day. But I will know exactly by Friday.
As far as I know, it's starting 10-11 AM local time, Moscow, so it's about 8-9 AM CET. The parade will be exactly 1 hour long.
