Meanwhile in Ukraine

for the Russian people is a tribute to the tradition, for the army it is good training and for the military industry exhibition of new products

Commercial show for a shit-country, which wants to monopolize victory over naztees... Good to know we are both calling things their true name

Russian people should stop living in the past, desperately trying to live out the glory days, that well, were hardly actually glorious and long time ago.
Spending time actually training would have been better training.
The fact that beound oil, gas and military your country has absolutely no other means of reasonable profit or nothing else to show at all, is just sad. If your people are truly desperately in need of "tradition" via military parades, than my friend, you are hardly in the modern times. You wanna know how normal people in normal countries react to military showoffs? With a simple "meh".

Like I said, weak, fragile countries.

Good training? Wtf? Have you actually been in a parade as a soldier? What is it good training for? Waiting and standing?

yes i was and?

So you don't understand English?

Maybe if I use a bigger font.

Not only is the parade itself not "good training" in any way or form, it's awful even before the parade itself for training. Because Russia thinks parades are so important, it wants them to go super smoothly. To get everything to go that smooth and have everyone step in unison and do everything else perfectly, you need to drill them a lot. That's a lot of time spent doing nothing but drilling for a parade while real soldiers are training for combat. But then Russia's never been exactly known for quality troops, so I guess there's that. No need to spend money on ammunition or throwing shovels when you can just have your soldiers drill.

The parade was pretty cool in all fairness, better than the shitty show we had here.

Yes, Russian parades are good. Which translates to a ton of wasted money and training time.

yeah, it was quite nice, but i have to admit that the north korean ones are a bit more impressive.

with regard to the training, in east germanyland we hold parades in schools every year. that was part of the pre-military training (aka civil defense in case of an attack of the imperialists ... haha).
anyway, before every parade they have drilled us a month so that we knew the commands and got the movements right.
without such drill it looks like this.

I was, nothing that can be described as "good for training". You don't achieve any skills that you can possibly use in an actual fight or anything even close to it. It's only good for training if you're going to work in a theatre afterwards. Don't spread bullshit.

Edit: I forgot that it's Russian army. Well in that case they might see a weapon or a drive a vehicle for the very first and only time during their service time. How many bullets did you shoot while serving that year in the army? 6?

lol Dave you are so stupid, it is a Great Victory Day. I think every family in Russia has people who were killed in the WW2. And you blame them, shame on you. Seems you government is ashamed about this victory, you too?
