Would be amusing if the lack of T-14's means they are actually on the frontlines as speculated earlier.
I doubt it, at the most they will be in the training camps.
The Boomerangs, which are more advanced in the schedule and are in a kind of pre-series production, have been shown.
It is likely that they have decided not to show them this year because of the criticisms that many Russian military are making about showing weapons that are not ready.

In any case, it has been known for weeks that there would be no tanks or planes in the parade after criticism from the rank and file soldiers.
The Tula parade, however, did have some more interesting material:

EXTREMELY HARDCORE

This is essentially what Prigozhin is sayin' in his Victory Day bombshell:

I took a tour of the firing positions and it was bad (10% of what we need)

Yesterday, we were told that if we left our positions we would be labelled traitors

If we don’t get our supplies, we will then decide who is really the traitor

The previous announcements were made because they were afraid of us, to mollify us

The front is disintegrating

One of the MoD’s divisions abandoned its positions - 2km retreat

Gazprom’s PMC and other divisions have either 50% desertion or 50% refused to come to the front

These other PMCs are useless and simply throw lives away

Surovikin is doing his best, but so far no good, no storm of Artemovsk possible

Ukraine keeps attacking Belgorod, locals are upset that the government doesn’t protect them

Ukraine will attack in the south soon, this is a real threat
Modern Russia does not deserve to celebrate Victory Day - it is a victory that belongs to the grandfathers, not the current generation

He goes down the list of the supplies that they asked for and what they actually got

They have actually had supplies cut even more since then

Someone is trying to sell out Putin and the Russian people

The MoD should be renamed the Ministry of Intrigues

The 72nd brigade ran for the hills and 500 lives were lost because of this

Gazprom’s “anal brigades” abandoned their positions too

If our side wanted to win, they’d give us 20% more than we ask for, actually

The Russian people, should things continue to go badly, ought/might storm Rublevka and kill the bureaucrats

The fish rots from the head

This hurts morale - soldiers asked to die for nothing, for stupidity and cravenness of the generals

The commands given by the generals are committing a crime against the Russian people and these people need to be punished severely

Give Wagner what was promised to us on May 7th


Wagner will stay for now in Artemovsk for now, but who knows what comes next

Instead of parading and preening on Red Square, these people ought to focus on the fight at hand

I wonder if, in the light of Prigozhin's latest statement, the Putin fanbois on here would actually consider the possibility that the Russian military really is as cretinously incompetent and useless as all the facts on the ground suggest?

Wagner boss Prigozhin essentially calling some of the top generals in the Russian MoD as traitors. He’s taking direct aim at Shoigu and Gerasimov. Why Surovikin was demoted is baffling. Once again Russian bureaucracy and corruption getting in the way. Always been the biggest problem in Russia.

M109 gets hit by a Lancet.


A Grad gets hit by a Lancet.


FAB500 multiple hits on Kherson. Whoever and whatever are on those buildings gets annihilated.


Ukrainian communication tower gets knocked out by ATGM.


T-14 Armata tanks headed to Kremennaya, which is to be expected, as more new tech shows up in this front for some unknown reason.

It seems wild to me that he is throwing them under the bus in such a manner! He must feel pretty secure in his position.
