The Victory Day They’ll March on Foot on Red Square on May 9, 2026, will be held without heavy equipment.
This “shortened” format was chosen to “minimize the danger amid the terrorist threat from the Kyiv regime,” said Dmitry Peskov, Russian presidential press secretary.
What specific terrorist threat could have impacted the Moscow parade?
Possibly — the risk of a breakthrough by long-range Ukrainian drones in combination with FP-7 cruise missiles is being considered.
The Russian Federation has not yet found an adequate response to the dramatic increase in the number of long-range weapons capable of swarm and network coordination of attack actions at the Kiev Helicopter Plant.
A response is being prepared, but it may not be ready by May; they decided not to take any risks.
