MOSCOW - President Vladimir Putin watched intercontinental nuclear missile launchers roll across Red Square on Thursday as Russia put on its annual show of military might to mark the Soviet Union’s World War Two victory over the Nazis.
“We have done and will do everything necessary to ensure the high level of readiness of our armed forces,” Putin said. “We call on all countries to recognize our common responsibility to create a security system that is effective and equal for everyone.” The Kremlin said it had not invited foreign heads of state but next year’s 75th anniversary would be marked with greater pomp as a major milestone.
The display of raw military power is also designed to show the world and potential buyers of military hardware how a modernization program has changed the face of the Russian military and arms industry.
