Mixed feelings on Victory Day in Russia.
TL;DR
The soldiers who marched in Russia's Victory Day Parade were not actual combat troops, according to UK intelligence. The majority were auxiliary, paramilitary, and cadets from training camps. The parade featured only one old tank, no aircraft, and a few reluctant world leaders. Available deployable troops are likely already stationed in Ukraine.
