The Kinzhal hypersonic missile was first announced by President Vladimir Putin in March, emphasizing that it is one of the advanced weapons systems currently being developed in Russia.
On May 4, two Mig-31 fighters carrying two Kinzhal missiles flew over Red Square, Moscow, to prepare for the parade scheduled for next week.
A Su-57 rocket appeared during the exercise. Russia's first-generation fighter jet is expected to become the core of the country's superior air fleet in the future.
Su-30 and Su-35 aircraft also participated in the drill at Red Square.
The Russian strategic air force, represented by a Tu-160 hypersonic bomber and an Il-78 refueling aircraft, also appeared in Red Square.
The group of 4 attack helicopters that can fight in all weather conditions Mi-28N, known as the "Night Hunds", participated in a drill for an air performance to celebrate Victory Day.
The ground exercise was held on the evening of May 4, local time to limit traffic disruption in the Russian capital.
Among the equipment systems participating in the drill, the interesting highlight is Russia's new drones, Katran direct-to-drive aircraft and Korsar drone attack aircraft.
According to RT, some of the weapons displayed on the occasion seem to symbolize Russia's defense capabilities in the Arctic. Specifically, a BTR-82A armored vehicle disguised as white and a military slide were transported on a Kamaz truck.
In addition, there are Tor-M2DT air defense systems optimized for the Arctic.
Other equipment includes T-14 Armata tanks, Iskander tactical missile launchers, ICBM Yars, and BMPT terminator increase support fighters.
