Russia held its 2026 Victory Day parade on May 9 without tanks, missiles, or any ground military equipment for the first time since 2007, citing the "current operational situation." The decision follows four years of steadily shrinking parades and comes as open-source intelligence trackers document over 4,000 visually confirmed Russian tank losses in Ukraine — representing more than 100% of Russia's operational pre-war tank fleet — while satellite imagery shows storage depot reserves depleted from roughly 7,342 tanks to fewer than 100 in serviceable condition.
