"If they wish to take out their old equipment and take it for a spin, and check it out, they're more than welcome to do so," Pentagon spokesman Geoff Morrell told reporters on Tuesday.
The Kremlin ordered generals to revive the Soviet-era tradition of driving tanks, howitzers and missile launchers during the annual parade Friday, which commemorates the allied defeat of Nazi Germany in 1945.
The parade has not featured heavy weaponry since 1990, the year before the Soviet Union's collapse.
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
