Trying before the day of victory. Putin shows readiness for invasion?
A video recording has recently appeared on the Internet, which according to the German « Bild » was created on April 9, but was not distributed in Western social media until April 14. According to the journal, the material did not accidentally appear on the web.
What initially seems to be a completely normal element of preparations for the annual, pompilate parade on the occasion of victory day over Nazi Germany, after a closer look turns out to be a drastic change in Russian propaganda. – Putin wants to show an invasive army on his parade and ready to fight, which can travel directly from the parade to the front line in Ukraine or in the Baltic countries – assesses the expert.
Unlike previous years, Putin did not issue any « armat » and « terminator » « super -clay », which actually do not work on the battlefield. On the material from Ekaterinburg, it can be seen that no bombastic nuclear shells have been used, which may look threatening, but whose practical use is extremely unlikely.
Even tanks from World War II, which are usually presented on this type of rallies and are to symbolize the glory of past days and victory over Nazi Germany, did not appear this time.
Trying before the day of victory. Russia shows readiness for invasion?
Instead, the Kremlin presented a seemingly ideal combat unit that could enter Ukraine or one of the Eastern NATO countries at any time. An effective, pragmatic and deadly unit.
Among them were six combat tanks optimized for the fight against drones, equipped with cages, mesh and rubber rollers.
In addition, there were classic multi-coat of BM-21 and BM-30 rocket launchers, which were an expression of the success of the Russian struggle philosophy, according to which « quantity is more important than quality. » On board there are also armored personnel carriers, equipped with powerful interference devices, used to defend against kamikaze drones.
Safety expert Nico Lange said in an interview with « Bild »:

Bearing in mind the parade in Moscow on May 9, Lange said in shock:
If Putin really deploy combat units ready to fight, it will be terrifying
Because this war weapon is not embarrassing or ostentatious propaganda. This is a demonstration of the strength of the Russian war economy! In this way, the Kremlin sends a bright signal for Europe, how efficient the national arms industry is. The most unusual part of the parade took place, when vehicles for arranging bridges, tankers, ambulances, works for removing mines and electronic combat systems presented themselves. In short, everything that is a successful logistics in the event of an attack on the neighboring country.
According to experts, this confirms the worst fears: Russia drew conclusions from its mistakes from the past. Instead of effective propaganda, he now presents pragmatic precision. This is what allows Putin’s army to go further into Ukraine every day.
