President Vladimir Putin presided over the parade, which included tanks, aircraft, and ballistic missiles.
The parade in Moscow was a strong reminder of Russia's dedication in recent years to modernize its military. It is also a show of strength by Putin as he continues his claims of being the defender of Russians even outside of the Russian border.
