Russia marks Victory Day with biggest military parade in decades

Six Su-25 fighter jets flew over the Red Square, "painting" a Russian national flag with red, white and blue smoke in the clear blue sky, while cheerful crowds on the ground watched in awe as they joined in one of the most spectacular Victory Day parades in Russia's history.
On Sunday, Russia staged the largest military ceremony since 1991 to mark the 65th anniversary of its victory over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War.
President Dmitry Medvedev and Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, along with leaders from over 20 countries including China and Germany, watched the grand parade on the Red Square in central Moscow.
More than 11,000 Russian and foreign servicemen, including U.S., French and British troops, attended the parade. This is the first time that Western troops strode across the Russian capital.
The Red Square, fully adorned with colored flags and posters, welcomed the audience under bright sunshine.
