Airborne part of Victory Parade canceled

The airborne part of Monday’s Victory Parade in Moscow has been canceled due to adverse weather conditions, Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov told RIA Novosti.

The parade, which marks the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory in World War II, began at 10 a.m. on Moscow’s Red Square. Russian President Vladimir Putin plans to address the nation at the parade.

15 helicopters and 62 military planes, including the Ilyushin Il-80 “doomsday plane,” were slated to take part in the airborne part of the parade.
