This year's parade will include for the first time Russia's stealth fighter, the Su-57, as well as its new hypersonic Kh-47M2 "Kinzhal" missile, which Moscow unveiled in early March. 

It will also include the YARS ballistic missile, the Armata system, the Uran-9 unmanned combat system, the S-400 missile defense sytem, and more.
