Putin scrapped Victory Day flypast at the last minute 'because he feared a strike from the air' anti-Vladimir Russian news outlet claims
Daily Mail ^ | 5/10/2022 | Will Stewart

Vladimir Putin scrapped his Victory Day flypast at the last minute because 'he was afraid of an aerial strike', it has been claimed.

The military parade was scheduled to include 77 planes in the display of military might over Moscow's Red Square yesterday.

Among the planes were his 'Doomsday' Ilyushin Il-80 which allows the Kremlin leader to continue ruling Russia during a nuclear war.

But Putin pulled the plug onthe flypast abruptly before the parade, blaming poor weather.

Airshows were also aborted or curtailed in at least ten other cities. Yet the sun came out in Moscow during the parade, and in Novosibirsk and Yekaterinburg there were completely clear skies.

'We need to explain why the aerial part of the Victory Parade was cancelled,' reported General SVR Telegram channel, an anti-Putin Russian outlet that claims to have an insider source in the Kremlin.

'The reason in Moscow is simple. Russian president Vladimir Putin was afraid of a possible strike from the air.'

The report does not make clear whether it was claiming he feared sabotage by a kamikaze attack or a missile during the low flypast.

The newssource claimed Putin's entourage was aware he was 'paranoid' over the possibility of an attack amid the war in Ukraine.

The Moscow parade was cancelled for this reason, said the channel.

'In other regions the aerial part of the parade was axed… for 'company', so that the cancellation in Moscow would not cause undue attention.'

In previous years, if bad weather was an issue, Putin, 69, sent up a fleet of 'weather-changing' aircraft to spike the clouds with a chemical cocktail of silver iodide, liquid nitrogen and dry ice to ensure rain stayed away from Red Square and instead fell on villages outside Moscow.

But the An-26 planes were not deployed on Monday.

Peter Hitchens Column Saturday April 30, 2022

"In the United Kingdom, a DSMA-Notice (Defense and Security Media Advisory Notice) is an official request to news editors not to publish or broadcast items on specified subjects for reasons of national security..."

British journalist Peter Hitchens, the contrarian conservative journalist and outspoken defender of British tradition and traditional values including a Christian aversion to war, now finds himself constrained in his work by a government order.

Putin is a genius!

And not a pedophile, just because he likes to kiss the stomachs of boys he’s never met!

- Russian stooges everywhere.

Fly by using what? Their hardware is all in ruins and being hauled off by Ukrainian tractors. It’s poorly maintained, and their troops have low morale and don’t know how to fly. And they are out of fuel and ammunition. And food? And the ruble is crashing to new highs against the dollar as sanctions take their bight and force the Russians to be self-reliant, which is a BAD THING in a global economy.

Nearly all stories written by Brits won’t even tell the truth about their own government system. The Monarchy is totally a figurehead, Parliament is controlled by “The City of London” and the entire thing is the heart of the NWO.

In short, I don’t believe any news stories, especially if they all seem to be saying the same things. Trump/Putin-Russia? Fake news. Putin-Russia/Ukraine...same same. Whatever the truth is, we can only infer by the overwhelming amount of BS flying from media about it, the opposite is probably true.

I suspect somebody reminded him of what happened to Anwar Sadat during a military parade.

Yeah, I'm sure you're right. He was so deathly afraid that something that happened in the early 80s would befall him. I'm glad you have the Daily Mail to inform your deep geopolitical thought process.

I know. That's what's so scary about this - a paranoid dictator with nuclear weapons.

There was a flyby during the parade—but only 5 jet fighters trailing different colors of “smoke”.
