Vladimir Putin aborted the annual Victory Day flypast at the last minute because he feared a kamikaze or missile air strike on Red Square, an anti-Putin channel has claimed.
The 77-plane parade was cancelled yesterday over concerns enemies would 'target him' at his military event, one Russian outlet suggests.
The Kremlin may have pulled the plug on the show of airpower over sabotage fears, it has also been claimed although there is no evidence to support it.
