Military vehicles drive through Moscow and pass along Tverskaya Street ahead of the Victory Day parade in Red Square on Friday, May 9.

The broadcast features a view of the moving mechanised column filmed directly from the tank.

Last year, more than 9,000 servicemen and more than 70 vehicles took part in the event, which honours the memory of those who fought fascism. This year marks the 80th anniversary of the Red Army’s victory over Nazi Germany.
