Military equipment, including Ukrainian-made ground robotic systems Termit and Rys PRO and an evacuation vehicle, drove along Khreshchatyk St. in Kyiv on Monday morning.

The parade, which was not announced in advance and took place on the capital’s central street at dawn on Independence Day with no spectators, involved several dozen units of wheeled and tracked vehicles.

Footage of the parade was shown during the broadcast of events marking the 35th anniversary of Independence Day, held on Monday afternoon with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and foreign guests in attendance.

The footage also shows that, during the same early-morning hours, Magura, Sargan and SeaBaby sea drones sailed along a stretch of the Dnipro River opposite the Kyiv Pechersk Lavra, while P1-Sun interceptor drones were launched into the sky.

Later, dozens of drones of various designs, including fixed-wing types, flew at high altitude over the city, along with manned fighter jets.
