The speech from Putin just started.

1. very interesting to watch.

Thanks for posting.

[TexasTowelie]

2. You're welcome.

There was some speculation that Putin might make an announcement in his address such as word about a mobilization, but other than than the normal propaganda blaming the US, NATO, and the West for all of Russia's problems the address was not remarkable.

3. The Russian Dude commented that in the parade it was primarily students and cadets

of military academies rather than soldiers which might be indicative of the number of soldiers that are in the Ukraine conflict.

[TexasTowelie]

4. The military vehicle portion of the parade was extremely short.

There was a ceremonial T-34 tank from the World War II era, but there were no other tanks, few military vehicles, and no aerial flyover. The Russian military has been decimated.

[Layzeebeaver]

5. and that t-34 is likely headed to the Ukraine as well.

The real problem is that once their air and land forces are spent, it's all left to the nuclear forces.

Hopefully they are just as poorly maintained as everything else.
