Celebratory Processions Staged in Eastern Cities' Streets
Let's Roll Back the Clock 80 Years
Get ready for a time-traveling spectacle as cities throughout the Far East pay tribute to the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory!
Vladivostok has hopped on the bandwagon, rounding up approximately 1,900 locals and sporting over 50 units of vintage and cutting-edge weaponry. You'll spot the T-34-76 and T-34-85 tanks, alongside the hulking T-80BV tanks, bulletproof BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, the multifunctional Granat-4 complex, and even D-30 howitzers. Kicking things off is a rhythmic drum corps from none other than the Nakhimov Naval School!
Meanwhile, Khabarovsk was teeming with over 3,000 participants, strutting their stuff across Lenin Square while flaunting an impressive 140+ weapons and vehicles—everything from heavy artillery to sleek military vehicles.
Belogorsk's parade managed to round up around 1,000 soldiers and 300 young cadets, alongside 20+ units of military equipment. This year, light tactical quad bikes CF-500 and Desert Cross 1000 motorized ATVs made their grand debut in the parade formation.
Ussuriysk clocked in at 1,240 participants and 50+ military units, while Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk mobilized around 900 participants and 20 military units for the celebrations.
If you're curious about the commemorations in Moscow, Russia or Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, you'll find that the parades are a veritable buffet of military hardware. In Moscow, you'll find legendary samples like the T-34 tank alongside contemporary military vehicles, missile systems, and powerful attack drones[1]. International equipment will also make an appearance, including American Abrams tanks, German Leopard 2 tanks, International MaxxPro Plus, and M113 armored personnel carriers[1]. If you're in Bishkek, you'll be treated to over 120 units of modern military and special equipment, such as heavy armored vehicles, artillery, and air defense systems[2][3].
Regrettably, specifics on the parades in Far East cities remain murky in the search results. But don't fret! The celebrations in Moscow and Bishkek give a taste of the grandeur to expect in these Far East enclaves.
