Russian Military Day fleet review and airshow

Post by MikeJames »

Held at the home of the Black Sea Fleet, post recent unpleasantness in the Crimea.

Looks like Russia was sending a message to the neighbours, not particularly subtle about it either.

There is imagery of Putin reviewing most of the types in the Russian Black Sea Fleet, (including the missile cruise Moskva) from a fast motor cruiser, then pretty much most of the aircraft types in the Russian inventory do fly pasts, before a combined aerobatic display by the Russian Knights (SU35s) and the Swifts (Mig 29).
