Russia's Far East city of Vladivostok held a military parade today to mark the country's defeat of German forces in World War II.
More than 30 military vehicles from the Pacific Navy paraded and some 1500 servicemen marched along Svetlanskaya Street near Vladivostok's Central Square.
Redut self-propelled anti-ship missile complexes, 9K33 Osa short-range tactical surface-to-air missile systems, S300 long range surface-to-air missile systems and 9M113 Konkurs SACLOS wire-guided anti-tank missiles took part.
The parade also marked the first public display of the S21 Gvozdika 122-mm self-propelled howitzer.
Victory Day is celebrated each year in Russia on May 9 to mark the victory in 1945 over Nazi Germany in the Great Patriotic War, Russia's term for World War II.
