Putin says Russian military tech must be a step ahead
As part of the May 9 festivities, the Kremlin also released video footage of Putin speaking to army commanders a couple of days ago following his swearing-in.
In the footage, he called for Russia to modernize its military arsenal so it could stay "one step ahead," including by buying in foreign equipment where possible and sidestepping international sanctions where necessary.
The president said that Russian engineers were working "day and night" to try to update equipment.
"Modern military technology is changing very fast. If we want to be successful, we always have to be one step ahead," he said. "Our enemy has quite modern means since the whole Western community is working for our enemy."
He said Russia would look to the international market for solutions as well, and said he believed that might be relatively easy even amid Western sanctions.
"We will take, why hide it, what we can find on the international market. Despite the difficulties, we can find things... They have dual, triple and civilian use," he said.
Effectively sanctioning equipment that can have military but also civilian applications, with small drones one such example, tends to be even more difficult than restricting the sale of so-called "single use" military equipment.
PUTIPutin says May 9 unites all generations
President Vladimir Putin praised whats become Russias most important secular holiday during Thursdays speech.
"The Victory Day unites all generations," he said. "We are going forward relying on our centuries-old traditions and feel confident that together we will ensure a free and secure future of Russia."
Some 9,000 troops took part in the event, and around 1,000 of them had served in Ukraine since the 2022 invasion.
Missiles and other hardware, plus a notably smaller number of tanks than usual, perhaps suggesting the toll of attrition in Ukraine, were also on display.
