Руските военновъздушни сили се подготвят в парада в чест на Деня на Победата

More than 140 planes, jets and helicopters from the Russian Air Force flew across Moscow, Tuesday, rehearsing for the city's Victory Day parade on May 9. The aircrafts took off from various military bases before getting into formation above the capital with Air Force Commander Viktor Bondarev leading the way. Bondarev was aboard a 'White Swan', also known as Tupolev Tu-160 supersonic strategic bomber. The next generation Sukhoi Su-35 and Sukhoi Su-30 combat fighters and the upgraded Mi-35M attack helicopter will participate in the parade for the first time this year. They flew alongside veteran aircrafts such as the MiG-29 and the Yak-130 and choppers like the Mi-28H and Mi-26.
