>>507415891 (OP)Iโm not gonna put much stock in a military parade one way or another.
All they actually exist for is to have the public look at the weapons and think โme safe country strong.โ
Picrel is a Soviet military parade shortly before the German invasion. Those tanks are t-28s which the Soviets assumed and broadcasted as the next generation of super weapons that would protect the USSR. They looked good on film and driving in straight lines down a parade ground. In reality they where some of the worst tank designs of the era and got swatted away by the German army while the Soviet armored division fell into disarray in actual combat.
