(CNN)Russia will showcase some of its newest and most advanced military hardware on Wednesday when it stages its annual Victory Day Parade in Moscow’s Red Square.
Rehearsals for the event, which commemorates the 73rd anniversary of Nazi Germany’s surrender in World War II, began earlier this month, giving the world a glimpse of what’s coming. The Sukhoi Su-57 is Russia’s first homemade fifth-generation stealth fighter. Though the twin-engine jet first flew in 2010, it has yet to formally enter the Russian Air Force fleet.
Russia’s defense minister said that two Su-57s were deployed to Syria in February for what he termed a “combat trial,” according to the state-run TASS news agency.
