In terms of the number of equipment, the parade will be the most modest in the last three years. Last year, more than 10 thousand military personnel, 71 aircraft and helicopters and 135 units of ground equipment took part in the celebration. The largest parade since 1991 was in 2015 - in honor of the 70th anniversary of Victory Day. Then 193 went to Red Square combat vehicles, 16 thousand military personnel representing nine countries took part in the walking part. 143 planes and helicopters appeared in the skies over the capital, including the newest Su-35 fighter.
The reduction in the number of armored vehicles is due to savings, explained Chief Editor magazine "Arsenal of the Fatherland" Viktor Murakhovsky. According to him, ground equipment is always presented at parades very selectively. If you demonstrate all the samples, you will have to increase the broadcast time of the parade by five to six times and spend additional funds for fuel. “What guides the choice? I think so that it looks beautiful and menacing,” said Murakhovsky.
Moscow authorities have announced nine tenders for holding fireworks displays in parks with a total cost of 5 million rubles. For example, fireworks in Gorky Park will cost 550 thousand rubles. Festive events are also planned for the May holidays in the capital. Tenders for their holding were awarded by the State Budgetary Institution “Moscow Directorate of Mass Events”. On Victory Day there will be a concert at Poklonnaya Hill, at which one folk and four popular groups should perform, performing Soviet songs. The Victory Parade and people in a moment of silence will be broadcast on the screens. On the eve of Victory Day, an equestrian performance “Traditions of Russia” will take place on Poklonnaya Hill. The cost of organizing two events will be 19.2 million rubles.
Another 10.2 million rubles. Moscow authorities will spend on events near the Cathedral of Christ the Savior. They will last four hours and will include “a performance by a group in the classical crossover style” (Sarah Brightman, Victor Zinchuk, Andrea Bocelli perform in this style), the performance of Soviet songs, a screening of the historical parade of 1945, a broadcast of the modern parade on Red Square and minutes of silence. The tender documentation states that the organizer must “receive the highest blessing from the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus' to hold the festive program.”
More than 10 million rubles. will be spent on technical support for the action " Immortal Regiment"on Tverskaya street. About 17.5 million rubles. Moscow authorities allocated for festive events on Pushkinskaya, Triumfalnaya and Teatralnaya squares.

A year ago, tenders were announced for the organization of the Victory Parade for a total amount of 209 million rubles, RBC. However, congratulations, fireworks and concerts in Moscow were not included in last year's calculations. Transportation of military personnel was also the most expensive: it cost the Ministry of Defense 158 million rubles. - more expensive than this year. Dispersing the clouds cost less - 86 million rubles, as did last year's dubbing of the parade, which cost 3.6 million rubles.
Spending on equipment
The state will spend at least 14 million rubles on fuel that will be used during the demonstration of aviation and ground equipment at the Moscow Victory Parade. At least another 45 million was spent on sewing dress uniforms for the holiday, RBC calculated.
In particular, refueling ground equipment will cost, according to RBC calculations, about 350 thousand rubles.
How was the cost of fuel for combat vehicles calculated?
The calculation did not take into account the fuel consumed to warm up the equipment and the journey from Moscow to the test site in Alabino and back (about 100 km). Wheeled vehicles “travelled under their own power,” while tracked vehicles were delivered by train: it is almost impossible to calculate how much it costs to transport one tank, the Ministry of Defense explained. In order to find out the total cost of diesel fuel consumed during the movement of military vehicles in Moscow, the following formula was used: the capacity of the tanks is divided by the power reserve, multiplied by the length of the route, the price per liter and the number of vehicles. According to calculations made through the Yandex.Maps application, the length of the ground route along which the convoy of equipment will follow on May 9 is 83 km. The average price for diesel fuel in the country this year was 37 rubles. per liter So, according to the formula, the T-34-85 tank will spend 181 liters of diesel fuel, or 7 thousand rubles, to complete a given route. (545 l: 250 km x 83 km x 37 rubles x 1 unit = 7 thousand).
According to RBC estimates, about 13.74 million rubles will be spent on aviation flights.
All Russian planes and helicopters with jet engines are refueled with TS-1 or RT aviation kerosene, the head of the flight test complex LII told RBC. Gromov, Honored Pilot of Russia Boris Barsukov. According to him, this fuel is of approximately the same quality and does not differ much in price. Eight airfields will be used for aviation flights over the capital on May 9: in the Moscow, Tver, Bryansk, Saratov, Kaluga, Voronezh, Lipetsk, and Nizhny Novgorod regions. However, where this or that plane or helicopter will take off from and where it will land, as well as whether it will perform maneuvers, the military will determine the day before, the Ministry of Defense told RBC: everything will depend on weather conditions, the department clarified.
The approximate cost of a flight of two Tu-160 bombers is 706 thousand rubles.
How was the cost of aviation fuel calculated?
For the calculations, a schematic route length was used, derived from the arithmetic average: the distance from Red Square to each of the indicated airfields was added up, the result was divided by eight (the number of airfields) and multiplied by two (round trip flight). Thus, the approximate flight route of an airplane or helicopter was 900 km. Calculation formula: the volume of tanks is divided by the flight range, multiplied by the length of the route, the price per liter of RT brand aviation kerosene and the number of pieces of equipment. RT grade aviation kerosene with an average price of 32 rubles was used as fuel. per liter (171,000 l: 13,950 km x 900 km x 32 rubles x 2 units = 706,064 rubles).
To participate in the Moscow parade, 11 thousand sets of uniforms were also sewn, the Ministry of Defense reported. RBC was able to find out only a partial cost of the order; it amounted to about 45 million rubles.
Of these, 1,500 sets (women's dress uniform white) was provided by Voentorg, the rest by the BTK Group enterprise, the Ministry of Defense reported. The 43rd Central Experimental Sewing Plant, subordinate to Voentorg, refused to name the cost of the contract with the Ministry of Defense, but reported that the average cost of a women's dress set military uniform is about 30 thousand rubles. BTK declined to comment on the order. The Ministry of Defense could not promptly clarify the cost of the contract.
In total, the approximate expenditures of the state on holding celebrations dedicated to the Victory in Moscow, determined from open sources, amounted to 509.1 million rubles. (150 million + 98 million + 4.5 million + 515 thousand + 69.4 million + 7.4 million + 5 million + 19.2 million + 10.2 million + 10 million + 17.5 million + 5.3 million + 350 thousand + 13.74 million + 45 million + 53.1 million).
