On May 9, 2010, the Victory Day Military Parade was held in Red Square to celebrate the 65th anniversary of the capitulation of Nazi Germany. This Victory Day Parade had one unique feature. Here's a video:
At 30:51, you can see the Queen's Guard (UK), US military, and the French military march in the parade, which is like the only time any of these countries has marched in this parade.
At 45:47, you start seeing what everybody watches the Victory Day Parades to see: military vehicles! You can see tanks, missile launchers, surface-to-air missile launchers, and what appear to be ICBM launchers. Following that you can see friggin' combat helicopters and military airplanes! Some give off colors matching the Russian flag: white, blue, and red.
At about 1:10:00, you can hear them play "Ode to Joy."
