Yeah, they still have nukes........Russia marks Victory Day with vast military parade as insurgents in Ukraine prepare referendum

Russia marks Victory Day with vast military parade as insurgents in Ukraine prepare referendum | Fox News: "MOSCOW –  Russia showed off its military muscle Friday in the annual Red Square parade marking victory over Nazi Germany, at a time when the world's attention is focused on Ukraine where pro-Russian insurgents are preparing a referendum on secession.
Russia's President Vladimir Putin made no reference to the situation in Ukraine in a speech before the parade, focusing on the historic importance of the victory over Nazi Germany.
About 11,000 Russian troops proudly marched across Red Square to the tunes of marches and patriotic songs, followed by columns of dozens of tanks and rocket launchers. 
About 70 combat aircraft, including giant nuclear-capable strategic bombers, roared overhead."
