Russian President Vladimir Putin in a brazen show of strength paraded a selection of American and British tanks in Moscow. “The exhibition will feature more than 30 units of military equipment from the United States, Britain, Germany, France, Turkiye, Sweden, South Africa, Finland, Australia, Austria, and Ukraine,” state-run Sputnik said in a report.
