Russia unveiled a new tank that is meant to enter service in 2020. They did this as a way to celebrate the 70 year victory in the war. This tank is being shown off in a parade that has 15,000 soldiers and hundreds of both combat vehicles and aircraft. This new tank will feature an unmanned gun capable of shooting shells by itself. According to the Russians, its speed and tech are far superior to what the military currently has. Both the U.S. and U.K. did not attend the event for obvious reasons.
It is interesting to think about how Russia still spends a good deal of time with their military and their military parades. It looks like pictures of the old Soviet Parades in a way (while still different) that seems like the 1980s.
